Get to Know the Online Tools

During the course of the Advanced Science Communication Seminar, you are going to be posting drafts of your communication projects to this platform and giving feedback to your fellow participants.

In this activity, you’re going to practice creating posts and commenting on other participants’ posts.

Add Your Profile and an Avatar.

One of the strengths of this platform is you can add a profile and avatar so that when you participate online, the other students will get to know you by your face and a little bit about you. Here’s instructions on how you edit your profile and add an avatar.

Create a Post.

You’ll share your progress on your communication project throughout the seminar by creating posts on this website. If you categorize your posts right, they will be archived so that they will be easy to find by you and others in the class. Try creating a practice post by following these instructions.

Add a Comment.

Students who participate in this seminar have said that they wished they could have looked at what others were doing and learn from one another. Find some sample posts created by other students and leave a comment. Once you’re logged in to the platform, all you have to do is type your comment and click “Post Comment.”
