WELCOME TO THE TLTR MAILING LIST

The TLTR mailing list is an on-line forum through which faculty, staff,
students, and administrators can discuss issues related to the
development, implementation and use of various education technologies at
City College of San Francisco.

The TLTR mailing list is a closed (not public) list, open only to members
of the CCSF community. Discussion is unmoderated--anything a subscriber
posts will automatically be sent to all subscribers.  The owner will not
police the list, but will, rather, introduce new topics of discussion when
appropriate.  TLTR subscribers are urged to take responsibility for the
appropriateness of their own postings.


HISTORY OF TLTR MAILING LIST

This mailing list is an extension of the Teaching and Learning Technology
Roundtable (TLTR), founded in Fall 1996.  The TLTR is a subcommitee of
the Academic Policies Committee. The TLTR will advise the (not yet
formally created) Education Technology Office.


POSTING MESSAGES TO THE TLTR MAILING LIST:

To send a message to all TLTR mailing list subscribers, address it to:

		TLTR@ccsf.edu

Please include the following information somewhere within the body
of each posting:  your name, e-mail address, title and department (if
applicable). 

NOTE:  When replying to a message on the TLTR mailing list, often times
your response goes directly to *all* subscribers on the list, unless you
manually type an individual's e-mail address in the "to:" line.  Some
local software programs (e.g. PINE, Elm, Eudora) offer different options
for replying to messages.  However, this is a local consideration, and not
one that the owners of the TLTR mailing list can control.

Also, if you choose to include a copy of the original message in your
reply, remember to delete any unnecessary text (e.g. headers, text you are
not responding to, etc.).

Messages to the TLTR mailing list are archived.  To view the archives
please point your Web browser to:  http://www.ccsf.edu/Pub/Mj/TLTR/


APPROPRIATE POSTINGS ON TLTR

TLTR  was created as a means through which CCSF employees can explore
the potential applications of education technology in the curriculum, and 
address institutional concerns which directly affect the use of
technology for teaching and learning.

The co-owners support expression of personality, wit and humor on this
unmoderated list, and encourage respect among subscribers, though
differences of opinion are likely to arise.  Any subscribers
who participate in flaming or publicly attacking other subscribers
will be warned once only; if the behavior continues, the disruptive
subscribers will be removed from the list.

This list was created for the purpose of discussion, so any and all
postings of general interest to subscribers should be posted as such.
On the same note, replies to individuals should be addressed to those
specific people, and not all subscribers.

According to a concensus of TLTR subscribers, appropriate topics for
general posting include:

1.  Information regarding the implementation of the CCSF Ed Tech Strategic
    Plan.

2.  Addresses for online sites related to the use of technology in
    instruction or within educational institutions.

3.  Announcements about education technology training, conferences, job
    opportunities, publications, or related resources.

4.  Models from other institutions regarding the use of technology to
    enhance instruction.

5.  Discussion of research issues related to networked communication for
    teaching and learning.

6.  Discussion related to or stemming from TLTR working
    groups, including, but not restricted to the following:
	o Student Interns
	o Distance Learning
	o Staff Development in Technology
	o Best Practices/Resources
	o Networking (Infrastructure)
	o Safety

7.  Other issues at City College of San Francisco which directly relate to
    the use of technology to enhance teaching and learning.

[Many thanks to TLTR subscribers for their cooperative efforts in
creating the above list.]


NETIQUETTE GUIDELINES:

* Use an appropriate subject line for your message.

* Quote only what you are directly replying to--cut unnecessary text.

* Include your signature at the bottom of e-mail messages.

* Capitalize words only to highlight an important point or to distinguish
  a title or heading.  (DON'T SHOUT!)  *Asterisks*  surrounding a
  word also can be used to make a stronger point.

* Limit line length and avoid control characters.

* Be professional and careful what you say about others. Email is easily
  forwarded.

* Cite all quotes, references and sources, and respect copyright and
  license agreements.

* It is considered extremely rude to forward personal email
  to mailing lists without the original author's permission.

* Be careful when using sarcasm and humor. Without face-to-face
  communications your joke may be viewed as criticism.
