I think as the bulk of the lists are no longer supported by the VCAA, they are not being moderated, and they will eventually stop working. We know it's really important for teachers to have a space to ask questions and share ideas, so we are trying to look at alternative forums. If you know of any other online communities that work well - perhaps a colleague from your school is involved in one for their subject area - please let me know and I'll look into it.
In the meantime, there are fantastic networking groups on Facebook that have been set up by practising teachers, so I'd encourage you to use them - they are proving to be really successful communities of practice.

There's also a DATTA Vic Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/570551930347080
By all means continue to use the Edulist forums for now but be aware that they are not working as well as they should, and are unlikely to be around in the longer term.
