Hello Winthrop,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I am sorry that this is a bit of a frustrating experience right now. As part of the AMS transition, we will be moving away from the engagement platform “Connect". The functionality we currently have in
Connect will then be supported in Fonteva, our new AMS.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I believe this may be a good moment to put together some guidelines as to which communication tool will be used for what type of message going forward. I’ll talk to the Chapters Advisory Council Steering Committee if this is something we could
work on together. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best, </div>

<p class="">Thank you for the heads-up Rama, the objective of getting as many Chapter Leaders as possible to sign-up for the course is a
<i class="">good thing</i>. What i'm wondering then is, given that you want to encourage sign-ups, why send the links thru
<b class="">Box</b>? That is a rather roundabout way of doing it. <br class="">
</p>
<p class="">Also, if you're going for maximum reach, why not share this invitation to the Chapter Delegates on
<a href="http://elists.isoc.org" class="">elists.isoc.org</a>? Is there some policy that dictates use of
<b class="">Connect</b> in lieu of the more straightforward elists? <br class="">
</p>
<p class=""><b class="">Connect</b> has several problems, not least of which it tends to munge (mutilate!) and auto-truncate email messages (leaving out much of the thread and therefore context). Even the links you provided below are obfuscated when read in
<b class="">Connect</b>'s full HTML. Plain text links are not only simple and straightforward, they are also a safety feature (obfuscated links being a favorite tactic of spammers and scammers). I am assuming that these links need not be private or confidential
(the justification for <b class="">Box</b>), and thus need not be obfuscated by <b class="">
Connect</b> or sent via <b class="">Box</b>. <br class="">
</p>
I hope we try to Keep It Simple, as even plain-text links sent to those unfamiliar with the ISOC Learn LMS can be difficult to follow. (I was a mentor at the launch of this "new" LMS, and even with clear links and a supplementary PDF FAQ, and hand-holding follow-up
support, some of the new learners had difficulties).
<p class="">Hope this helps,<br class="">
</p>
