-
What is ISUTEACH?
- ISUTEACH is an asynchronous internet discussion (technically, a "listserv") about
teaching at ISU. Anyone interested in learning and sharing about teaching – including
GAs and NTTs – can subscribe and anyone can post questions, concerns, and ideas.
Other may respond and offer assistance. It is also used for announcements such as
teaching workshops and funding opportunities.
-
How does it work?
- All subscribers receive all messages posted to the list in their email inbox and
all postings go to everyone on the list. It is an unmoderated list, which means no
one screens or censors messages. There is no cost to subscribe.
-
How time consuming is ISUTEACH?
- Message flow is fairly light. We ask subscribers to follow listserv etiquette, including
keeping postings brief, refraining from posting personal messages, and making the
content of the message clear in the subject line and first couple of lines of the
message. This makes it easy for subscribers to skim messages and delete those that
do not interest them.
- How do I subscribe to ISUTEACH?
-
Subscribing to ISUTEACH is EASY. Simply send an e-mail message to listserv@ilstu.edu.
Leave the subject line empty and either turn off your automatic signature or put
two dashes (i.e., - - ) just in front of your automatic signature. The body of
the message should read:
SUBSCRIBE ISUTEACH Your Real Name
You can also subscribe by going to http://listserv.ilstu.edu/lists/ and
clicking on the SUBSCRIBE icon next to ISUTEACH.
- How do I post messages to ISUTEACH?
- After you have subscribed, simply address your message to isuteach@ilstu.edu or
reply to a message sent from the list. When replying to messages on the list, please
continue to observe listserv etiquette and remember that, unless you take care to
change information on the "TO" line, your reply will be posted to the entire
list. Please be sensitive to your colleagues' time constraints and keep list postings
pertinent, thoughtful, and substantive.
- Can I get my messages in different ways?
-

you may send one or more of the following commands to listserv@ilstu.edu or
