4. You can also create COMMUNITIES, which are online working groups 4. You can also create COMMUNITIES, which are online working groups. These can be open to all RCE members or can be private groups. Here you can share ideas on a particular topic or theme – people can post photos, files, comments or questions and all group members will be able to read and respond.

The key to the portal is the SEARCH tool. If you want to find information on a particular topic, just search for it in the SEARCH box.

Once you search, results from all the various areas of the portal will show up on your screen – you can see files that have been uploaded on that topic, comments that have been written in the online forums or various pages that have been created around it.

To make sure that it is easy to organize and access the information, we have created a TAGGING TAXONOMY – essentially a list of key words that you should use whenever you want to upload a file or write a comment. That way, anyone who is interested in that particular topic can easily find the information you’ve uploaded to the portal.
