HRN is a set of group workspaces for projects sponsored by the Stanford Humanities Center. These are unstructured workspaces that allow you, as a member of a sponsored project team, to add, edit, and organize the content for your workspace. Each workspace includes a wiki, a blog, a calendar, and a mail archive. Additional features that are aides to organizing content are filtered search and tagging.
Workspace Features
- WIKI: What is a wiki? A wiki is server software that allows individuals to edit and create web pages on the fly.
- BLOG: The group blog provides another
means for communication that is archived chronological order like a discussion forum.
- CALENDAR: Use the group calendar to plan meetings or notify others in your group about relevant activities. Upcoming events will be displayed on the front page of your group workspace.
- MAIL LIST AND ARCHIVE: Your group has its own email address, mailing list and archive of group email. From your own email client, write to [group short name]@humanitiesnetwork.org. That will deliver the message to each member of you group and a copy will appear under the "mail" tab in your workspace.
Additional Resources for Project Teams
