Accounts
How
do I create a new account?
You create an account by clicking the REGISTER link. You will receive
an email (called an invitation) which you need to read and respond to
before teh site will allow you to enter details and login.
Once you have logged in, choose a password and enter details about
yourself, your work, and your interests. You can choose to make
information visible to registered users or not. You can share as little
or as much information as you wish. The more information you
share, the easier it will be for other workers with similar interests
to contact you.
The software running this site is an educationally-directed social network system called ELGG. You will find a user manual for the system online at ELGG.ORG. This will get answer most questions about using the online systems.
Are
there different types of account?
Registered users can post material and read information about other
users. A small number of users are administrators who operate
the site and can edit or remove postings.
Communitites
What is
a community?
Users can link up to form special interest groups which the website
calls Communities. The iPath Research Collaborative has already asked some
active workers to create communities in different areas of pathology.
In addition you can create new Communities based on shared interests.
