I have appreciated your comments and observations regarding the use
of AECT-L to experiment with division/organizational postings.
Before we are swamped with messages, I think I need to establish
guidelines for experimental postings, pending a report to the AECT
Board by the Electronic Communications Task Force chaired by Mike
Albright.  Experimental postings are those which do not relate to
strategic planning issues.
-
Here are the general guidelines, pending other guidance, for long
and/or divisional postings:
-
1. Check with me, the list owner/manager, first.  I try to space the
traffic out if I know a lot is going on.
2. Edit for conciseness and clarity to reduce the need for redundant
postings.  Remember that the limit on postings is three screens; longer
messages are exceptions that require my concurrence.
3.  At the front of the message, include an estimate, in lines, of the
length of the message.
4. At the end of the message, include your address and ask people to
make general inquiries back to you.  I have been sending individual
notes to people who do "me too" or "hello" type replies.
-
I anticipate a transition of AECT-L when the Electronic
Communications Task Force completes its report.  Until that time we
can experiment with AECT-L, but we need to be aware that  AECT-L
subscribers expect the list to be managed with respect for their
mailboxes.
-
If you have other suggetions, please let me and Mike Albright know.
Thanks for participating in AECT-L and helping us keep the list clean.
