I am unable to check my e-mail everyday. How else can I be informed?
The HERN project is providing a complex, year-long training program for 200+ persons/year. Although we realize that each individual participant has individual and unique circumstances, it is not possible for the small HERN staff to tailor its communications and services to the needs of 200 individuals.
In order to save time and money and to engage as many of the HERN participants as soon as possible in the process and habit of daily E-mail interaction, the HERN team decided to conduct all of its communications with participants (after the intitial mailings) via E-mail. We realize that this will be an inconvenience for some and that some persons will not be able to keep up with what is going on because they do not have access to E-mail from home or an office on a regular basis. If it is too great of an inconvenience, perhaps it might be best to re-evaluate your participation in the HERN project.
There are a variety of ways of finding out what is going on if you do not have access to E-mail, the most obvious being to find someone on your team who does have access and ask them to keep you informed via phone or fax. The HERN staff cannot provide these special services. It is also an option just to show up on the first day of the HERN Summer Workshop and know that you will be unprepared and need to devote extra time the first few days to catch up on what you have missed. Success in the HERN project requires almost daily E-mail access. We trust that those who make a point of it can find a way to make that access available.
If there are questions about this policy, please contact Dr. Bossert directly at: bossert@hawaii.edu
Additional Training: I missed all or one of the workshops on E-Mail, ListServs, and the World-Wide Web. Will there be any more?
Some workshops on the basics may be added during the first week of the Summer Workshop; however, it is expected that all attendants have the basic skills requested by the HERN.
