Regular Events
This article from Mobilize gives step-by-step instructions for the 3 different ways you can RSVP to regular events.
Webinars
When you RSVP to a webinar, you’re letting the moderators and other members know you’re attending.
The link to join the webinar is listed as the event’s “location”.
Step 1: Navigate to the Events Tab
Step 2: RSVP to the webinar
RSVP by selecting “Going”, “Maybe”, or “Not Going”.
Step 3: Join the webinar
You can find the “location” of the webinar in the event description. This field contains the link you will use to join the webinar.
Step 4: Access resources
After the webinar, DfN will share slides, Q&A responses, and recordings. These resources will be shared as a post within the event and you will receive a notification based on your notification settings.
You will also be able to access resources under the Webinars Files tab. Each discussion is labeled with a number, brief title, and the start date of the session.
For example, documents from our first discussion are saved under W1_New data for nutrition_Dec 18 2019
Moderated Topics
When you RSVP to a Moderated Topics discussion, you’re letting the moderators and other members know you’re following the conversation. You’ll receive updates and notifications throughout the moderated discussion based on your notification settings.
Step 1: Navigate to the Events Tab
Tip: Did you know you can see events in the Feed too? Take a look at the “highlights” or keep scrolling to “all posts” to find more content and links to events.
Step 2: RSVP to the Moderated Topics Event
RSVP by selecting “Going”, “Maybe”, or “Not Going”.
Step 3: Join the discussion
Before the Event: You can RSVP to the event and add comments to the event description to share discussion prompt ideas, questions, and other comments with moderators.
During the Event: The moderator(s) will create posts within the event to facilitate the discussion. Members can comment on these posts to share their experiences, related resources, questions, and more.
Tip: Make sure your notification settings are set to “instantly” so you can join the conversation from your email.
Step 4: Access resources
After the discussion ends, DfN will share a summary of the discussion with highlights and key messages. Resources will be shared as a post within the event and you will receive a notification based on your notification settings.
You will also be able to access resources under the Moderated Topics Files tab. Each discussion is labeled with a number, brief title, and the start date of the session.
For example, documents from our first discussion will be saved under T1_Anthro data quality_Feb 17 2020
