can someone find me a non-mums discussion forum type thingy?

[hatwoman]

I need to ask some questions about lecturing/academia. I have googled and googled but can't find anything. surely msn or google itself have a whole load of talk board type thingies that I can search through or something like that....I can;t believe it doesn;t exist. some lecturers somewhere must like talking on-line...how do I find them?

Do you mean a higher ed board or a university board?

Why don't you join the school (college) network for Oxford on FB?

How about a university forum?

On my university website it shows who is online at the same time & asks if you would like to invite them for a chat.... something like this you are after?

What about the TES website? They have lots of different forums, don't know if there is anything suitable though.

I just mean somewhere I can ask some academics/lecturers some questions. any academics/lecturers. the questions are general ones - not topic-specific ones. sort of teaching advice type ones.

maybe their minds are all on higher things

I think the TES one might be worth a look. I tried the Guardian education one but not a lot going on.
