Frequently Asked Questions

Please click on a question to see the answer.

How Do I Post Meeting Minutes?

The 'Minutes' content type allows the attachments of minutes to events. You cannot add minutes through the 'Create content' page, but must add them through the actual event.

To add Minutes, open the Event and use the command link listed at the bottom of the post. Look for 'Post minutes to this event'. If you see 'View minutes', this means minutes have already been posted. View them and edit if you wish.

If you are using the 'Board Meeting Minutes' Book page method, please make sure you select the eLerning term 'board' to make sure the post appears in the main 'Minutes' listing.

To restrict visibility to Board members only, be sure to set the 'Grants' permissions appropriately. There's a 'Grant' FAQ entry for this as well.

How Do I Become a 'Vendor' and post Jobs?

Companies are encouraged to post their jobs at this web site.

Directions:

  1. If you haven't yet, login using the Login/Register link at the top page right.
  2. If your job posting has a deadline, please use the directions for submitting an RFP.
  3. In order to post a Job, you must have 'Vendor' permissions. After completing the above, please send an email to GAZeL Tech Support using the Contact form from the link on the upper right. After your web account is upgraded, you can continue with the steps below. There is no charge for the upgrade, we just have to be sure that only real vendors get access to the features of the site. Spammers will abuse an open system. We would like to make this a one step affair, but security comes first.
  4. Click on "Create content' on the upper right.
  5. Click on 'Job'.
  6. Fill out the fields, attaching a file if you wish.
  7. Click the 'Preview' button (page bottom), to review the job posting.
  8. After review, click the 'Submit' buttom (page bottom).

If you need help, contact us. Postings will be reviewed before publication.

Giving Access Rights - 'Grant'

You can assign the rights in the access control to one user only, i.e., limit to 'author', and assign the post to that user. You can also leave the authorship and assign to any number of additional individual users. See the 'Grant' tab when editing or creating the node.

The real power and convenience comes when using the user 'Roles' feature to assign rights. 'Roles' are like groups or types of users that automatically get to do whatever that type of user can do when assigned the role. Users can have multiple roles. The role with the highest permissions takes precedence, when multiple roles apply to an action under consideration.

What Is eLearning?

What Is eLearning?
eLearning is the use of digital media such as the Internet, CDs, Cable TV and streaming media to facilitate education, training, lifelong learning, communication and online meetings. eLearning includes Web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual classrooms, simulations, games, audio, video and web conferencing, and more.

Technology Enables New Learning Opportunities
New technologies are complementing learning in the classrom and workplace settings, and it is enabling eLearning opportunities that can provide access to meetings, events education and workforce development opportunities accessible from the convenience of the home or workplace. Technologies such as audio and video conferencing; webcasting, podcasting and streaming media; web conferencing; CD Rom; and Cable TV enable realtime or on demand delivery of audio, full motion video, animation, and multimedia content. These technologies enable the near realtime transmission of events as they happen or make it possible to conveniently distribute pre-recorded/pre-edited media on demand. In other words, media that is stored can be made available for access at any time.
