Your moderators for this discussion forum want to connect members with similar challenges quickly, and encourage free and open discussion. We aim to be as un-intrusive as possible. You can read more about our personal visions for the forum in our individual posts. Here is how we will manage the forum.

Posted on 5/1/2020

1. This forum is open for the general public to read, but only members of ABLE can create topics or post replies.

2. Please keep topics and discussion focused on ONLINE biology and biology-related teaching laboratories for colleges and universities. Posts on other topics may be removed by the moderators.

3. As topics and interest areas appear, the moderators may reorganize posts to bring together and highlight related information.

4. All intellectual property remains with the original authors or creators. ABLE does not claim copyright on any materials posted, nor does a post imply an endorsement by ABLE.

5. We have limited storage capacity for file attachments. Please provide a LINK to an online resource you want to share with the community instead of uploading an attachment. If you cannot provide a separate link, contact one of the moderators for help.

6. ABLE maintains a separate YouTube channel for videos. If you want to share a video through the discussion forum, please either provide a link to the video, or ask one of the moderators for assistance in uploading the video to the ABLE YouTube channel.

7. Post authors can refer to specific vendors if they have personal experience using that vendor's products in a teaching setting. Members who post or provide information as representatives of commercial vendors should CLEARLY indicate that they represent that vendor.

8. Anyone who posts inappropriate content that is not directly related to biology lab teaching will be warned once by the moderators. Repeat offenders will be blocked permanently from posting again.

9. Other policies and rules of the forum will be added as appropriate, with a date indicating when they were first posted.
