[Foundations] A question - Online communities in Foundations programs

[Giedre Kligyte]

Dear colleagues,

We're looking at expanding the online aspects of our Foundations  
programs (with the specific interest of supporting ongoing communities  
of new academics extending beyond the formal workshops).

We'd like to build on the experience / work that is already being done  
by the Foundations community, so we would be very grateful if you  
could spend a few minutes answering these questions:

1) Does the Foundation program at your University have an online  
component?
2) What activities do participants engage in in the online environment?
3) What platform / tool do you use?
4) What is the uptake / participant feedback on online aspects of the  
Foundations program?
5) Do you use the online system to support an ongoing community after  
the formal workshops? What seems to be the nature / purpose of post- 
workshop interactions?

I will compile a summary of responses and circulate back to the list  
by mid-May.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards,
Giedre Kligyte
