The blackboard message function

up

We recommend that our users use the balckboard message function extensively for an exercise. Here you can write your opinions on an exercise and discuss its utility, even in a way that goes beyond the team and club itself. We particularly recommend leaving blackboard messages in the case of public exercises as other users in our portal will have the possibility to view your entry. Share your particular knowledge with other users and this way you encourage complimentary formation with other coaches. It is quick and easy to create a message on the blackboard. Just click on the "Blackboard message" tab in the reading application or the review of an exercise. Then click on the "Write message on blackboard" link and proceed to write your message. Finally click on the "Send" button to share your particular knowledge with other coaches.
