The Best Practice Network Message Board with JiscMail provides a space for members of the Best Practice Network to connect, share knowledge, seek advice, discuss ideas, and promote relevant opportunities across the arts, culture and education sectors. We encourage discussion and collaboration while maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all members.
How Does It Work?
We will be using Jiscmail for our Message Board, which is a free, email-based national academic mailing list service dedicated solely to supporting conversations and collaborations that further UK education and research.
You will be able to post messages to the whole group, which are seen by all other members. You will receive emails with all postings, to whichever email address you sign up with. You are able to choose the frequency which you receive emails (i.e. all postings separately; daily/weekly digests)
Members can choose to receive messages posted to the Message Board either as individual emails as they are sent, or as a daily digest containing multiple messages in a single email. This allows you to choose how often you hear from the network and manage communications in a way that suits you.
