How
do I become a member of the LCB Blog Squad?

Blogmeister and explain
why you should be added to the Blog Team roster. Having made quality
comments on LCB is always helpful! The Blogmeister more than likely
will seek the advice of the Blog Team in any decision. |
| Q |
I'm
a vendor, can I talk
about my product or service? |
TOP |
|
|
----NO
COMMERCIAL PROMOTION----
LCB is meant to be a
place for the open discussion of issues concerning the elearning
community. If you are a vendor, you are welcome. Your perspective on
many of the topics we'll discuss is important, but please
don’t hawk your products and services. If you do, your
comment will be pulled from the site. Do it twice and you'll be barred
from the site. You are welcome to identify your place of employment
(i.e., Dave Lee, WebCT) when making comments.

| Q |
I'm
not a vendor, can I discuss a product's effectiveness or
non-effectiveness? |
TOP |
|
| Yes, mentioning a product in
a discussion of best practices or in explaining your particular
implementation is often necessary and a sort of short-hand amongst our
community. As long as you are not promoting the product or service,
it's fine. |
