1: Willkommen in der EnableMe-Community

Willkommen in der EnableMe-Community! Wir sind Dein Online-Forum rund um Behinderungen, chronische Krankheiten und psychische Probleme. Hier kannst Du in einer Gemeinschaft von Gleichgesinnten Fragen stellen und Antworten geben, die auf Deinen eigenen Erfahrungen und Deinem Wissen basieren. Unsere Gemeinschaft ist sprachbasiert, so dass Du Gleichgesinnte aus verschiedenen Ländern treffen kannst, die Deine Sprache sprechen. In diesem Video werden wir Dir die Community vorstellen!

2: Struktur der EnableMe-Community

Zuerst schauen wir uns die Struktur der Community an. Sobald Du Dich registrierst hast, kannst Du die Startseite und die Landing Page der EnableMe Community sehen. Sie sollte wie folgt aussehen.

Bearbeite Deine Profilinformationen und Dein Bild:

Wenn Du eingeloggt bist, findest Du Dein Profilsymbol in der oberen rechten Ecke der EnableMe Community Website. Klicke auf dieses Symbol, und es öffnet sich ein Dropdown-Menü. Um Deine Profilinformationen zu bearbeiten, wähle "Konto- und Datenschutzeinstellungen", die erste Option von oben. Du wirst nun auf die Seite mit den Einstellungen für Dein Konto und Deine Privatsphäre weitergeleitet. Hier kannst Du zwischen mehreren Links wählen: Du kannst Deine Profilfelder oder Dein Profilbild bearbeiten, Deine Zitateinstellungen und Deine Signatur- oder Benachrichtigungseinstellungen ändern.

Kategorien und Struktur:

Wenn Du Dich auf der Hauptseite befindest, kannst Du die allgemeinen Kategorien-Cluster der EnableMe-Community über die Registerkarte "Kategorien" im oberen Menü der Seite zwischen "Diskussionen" und "Gruppen" finden. Hier findest Du die drei Hauptkategorien "Gesundheitsthemen", "Lebensthemen" und "Community".

• In der Themengruppe "Gesundheit" kannst Du durch konkrete Fragen zu bestimmten Behinderungen und chronischen Krankheiten scrollen oder selbst welche stellen, um behinderungs- und krankheitsspezifische Communities, Beiträge und Tipps zu finden. Dabei wird zwischen körperlichen, psychischen, kognitiven und Sinnesbehinderungen, sowie chronischen Erkrankungen und Hilfsmitteln, Therapie und allgemeiner Gesundheit unterschieden.

• Die Themengruppe "Leben" umfasst eine Vielzahl von Kategorien, die die Lebensbereiche abdecken, die von Behinderung und Krankheit betroffen sein können. Hier kannst Du Fragen stellen und beantworten, z. B. zu den Themen "Bildung, Ausbildung & Studium", "Arbeit & Karriere", "Reisen & Mobilität", "Beziehungen & Sexualität" und vielen anderen.

• Die Themengruppe “Community” ist diejenige, der sich auf den gemeinschaftlichen Austausch und das soziale Miteinander konzentriert. Innerhalb des "Community"-Bereichs findest Du Kategorien wie “Willkommen & Begrüßung”, die Plauderecke, in der Du über alles Mögliche plaudern kannst, den Suche & Biete-Bereich, sowie redaktionelle Beiträge von den EnableMe Community Managern. Wenn Du Fragen oder Feedback an uns hast, ist es sehr hilfreich, diese in dieser Kategorie zu teilen.

Indem Du in der richtigen Kategorie postest, stellst Du sicher, dass Deine Frage von Gleichgesinnten gesehen wird und behälst die Übersicht im Forum.

3: Landing Page Einführung

Jetzt erklären wir die Startseite der Community. Um zu unserer Startseite zurückzukehren, klicke auf das EnableMe-Logo in der oberen linken Ecke.

Oben auf der Seite befindet sich immer die Suchleiste - eine leistungsstarke Suchfunktion, mit der Du Beiträge in der Community-Bibliothek mit Fragen und Antworten zu Deiner Frage finden kannst. Das Lupensymbol oben rechts in der Navigation ist ebenfalls für Deine Suche da. In der Suche selbst kannst Du nach Kategorie, Zeitrahmen und Autor filtern.

Unterhalb der Suchleiste siehst Du oben auf der Seite mehrere Boxen. Diese Boxen enthalten saisonale Themen und vorgestellte Artikel, sowie eine Auswahl an Community-Beiträgen der Redaktion.

Unterhalb dieser Boxen findest Du die aktuellsten Diskussionen. Hier werden die Beiträge, die in letzter Zeit verfasst oder kommentiert wurden, in der Reihenfolge der jüngsten Aktivitäten angezeigt. Es gibt auch ein Sortiermenü am oberen Rand des Diskussionsbereichs. Hier kannst Du nach den jüngsten Aktivitäten, nach aktuellen beliebten Diskussionen und nach Ankündigungen der Community-Moderatoren suchen. Diese Vorauswahl zeigt Dir nur die letzten 10 Fragen oder Diskussionen an, für weitere Themen kannst Du auf "Diskussionen" in der Navigation in der Kopfzeile klicken.

Auf der rechten Seite des Bereichs "Diskussionen" findest Du die "Quick Links", d.h. Links zu allen Kategorien, zu neuen Diskussionen, zu Deinen mit Lesezeichen versehenen Diskussionen, zu Deinen eigenen Diskussionen, Deinen Entwürfen, unbeantworteten Fragen in der Community und zu den ersten Schritten, falls Du neu in der Community bist.

Unterhalb der Quicklinks findest Du zuerst die Engagementliste. Auf der Startseite findest Du an dieser Stelle danach die beliebten Tags, die automatisch generiert werden und für alle Länder sichtbar sind. Als Mitglied der Community kannst Du aus vordefinierten Schlagwörtern auswählen und sie in jedem Deiner Beiträge hinzufügen. Die Tags helfen Dir bei der länderübergreifenden Suche zu einem bestimmten Thema.

Am Ende der Seite heben wir bestimmte Kategorien mit relevanten Fragen und Antworten hervor.

4: Fragen stellen, Diskussionen starten, Kommentare zu Diskussionen abgeben

Jetzt erklären wir, wie Du eine Frage stellen oder eine Diskussion starten kannst und wie Du kommentieren kannst.

Stelle eine Frage / beginne eine Diskussion:

Wenn Du Dich auf der Homepage der EnableMe-Community befindest, scrolle nach unten, bis Du die blaue Schaltfläche "Neuer Beitrag" auf der rechten Seite der Webseite findest, direkt über den "Quick Links". Drücke auf die Schaltfläche, um das Pop-up-Menü zu öffnen. Hier kannst Du auswählen, ob Du eine Frage stellen oder eine neue Diskussion beginnen möchtest. Du findest diese Schaltfläche auch, wenn Du die Beiträge anderer Personen liest, auf der rechten Seite der Website.

Wenn Du eine bestimmte Antwort suchst, stell eine Frage. Auf diese Weise kannst Du Deine Frage als beantwortet markieren, wenn Du einen Kommentar erhälst, den Du als Antwort auf Deine Frage betrachtest. Wenn Du die Meinungen und Ideen anderer Personen erfahren möchtest, eröffne eine neue Diskussion. Wähle die Kategorie aus, in der Du Deine Frage oder Diskussion veröffentlichen möchtest, wähle einen Titel und schreib Deine Frage oder Diskussionsaufforderung.

Kommentier eine Frage oder eine Diskussion:

Wenn Du Dich auf der Seite der Diskussion oder Frage befindest, auf die Du antworten möchtest, wirst Du auf eine Seite geleitet, die wie folgt aussieht. Scrolle bis zum Ende des Beitrags. Du kannst auf den Beitrag reagieren, indem Du ihn likest, aber Du kannst auch Deine eigenen Gedanken und Ideen einbringen. Gib dazu Deinen Kommentar in das Feld "Hinterlasse einen Kommentar" ein, das Du hier sehen kannst. Wenn viele andere Personen vor Dir einen Kommentar hinterlassen haben, musst Du möglicherweise etwas länger nach unten scrollen, bis Du dieses Feld siehst. Du kannst dann entweder Deinen Entwurf speichern oder den Kommentar direkt abschicken. Um Deinen Entwurf zu speichern, klick auf die weiße Schaltfläche "Entwurf speichern". Um Deinen Kommentar direkt zu veröffentlichen, klick auf die blaue Schaltfläche "Kommentar hinzufügen".

Akzeptieren von Antworten:

Wenn Du eine Frage gepostet und Kommentare erhalten hast, siehst Du, dass unter den Kommentaren eine Frage gestellt wird: "Hat das Deine Frage beantwortet?" und Du hast die Möglichkeit, mit "Ja" oder "Nein" zu antworten. Wenn Du "Ja" angibst, weiß die Community, dass es eine gute Antwort auf Deine Frage gab, und diese Antwort wird nach oben verschoben. Wenn Du "Nein" angibst, weiß die Community, dass Du noch keine hilfreiche Antwort auf Deine Frage gefunden hast. Diese Angabe ist für andere Community-Mitglieder und die Community-Moderatoren hilfreich.

Auf sozialen Medien teilen

Vielleicht findest Du eine bestimmte Diskussion oder einen Kommentar sehr hilfreich und möchtest dies mit Deinem persönlichen Netzwerk teilen, damit mehr Menschen davon erfahren können. Du kannst dies ganz einfach auf Facebook tun, indem Du auf das Facebook-Symbol klickst. Dafür musst Du Dein Facebook-Profil einmalig mit Deinem EnableMe-Profil verbinden. Dann kannst Du Beiträge ganz einfach über Dein Facebook-Profil teilen.

5: Private Nachrichten

Jetzt erklären wir, wie Du private Nachrichten an einzelne und mehrere Personen senden kannst.

Eine private Nachricht senden

Um private Nachrichten zu senden, klickst Du auf das Briefumschlag-Symbol neben Deiner Profilschaltfläche oben rechts auf der Gemeinschaftsseite. Rechts neben "Nachrichten" kannst Du auf das Symbol klicken, das einen Bleistift auf einem Papier zeigt, um eine private Nachricht an jemanden zu schreiben. Es öffnet sich eine Seite, auf der Du den Empfänger Deiner Nachricht und die Nachricht, die Du senden möchtest, eingeben kannst. Du musst den Benutzernamen der Person kennen, der Du eine Nachricht senden möchtest. Wenn Du mit dem Verfassen Deiner Nachricht fertig bist, kannst Du unten auf der Seite auf die blaue Schaltfläche "Nachricht schreiben" klicken oder, wenn Du Deine Meinung geändert hast, die Nachricht verwerfen.

Eine Nachricht an mehrere Personen senden

Wenn Du eine Nachricht an mehrere Personen senden möchtest, füge im Empfängerfeld mehrere Empfänger hinzu. Du musst jeden Benutzernamen der Personen, an die Du Deine Nachricht senden möchtest, einzeln eingeben.

6: Andere Gemeinschaften erkunden

EnableMe ist in einer Vielzahl von Ländern aktiv und bietet derzeit fünf Sprachen an. Wenn Du eine andere Sprachgemeinschaft erkunden möchtest, klick auf die angegebene Sprache in der Navigationsleiste und wähl die gewünschte Sprachgemeinschaft im Dropdown-Menü aus.

7: Soziale Medien

Möchtest Du EnableMe auf sozialen Medien folgen, um keine Aktualisierungen zu verpassen? Scrolle bis zum Ende der Seite und folg uns auf Instagram oder Facebook in Deinem Land, indem Du auf die entsprechenden Symbole klickst.

Wir hoffen, dass dieses kurze Video Dir eine gute Einführung in die EnableMe-Community gegeben hat! Wir freuen uns darauf, Dich online zu sehen!

1: Welcome to the EnableMe Community

Welcome to the EnableMe Community! We are your online forum around disabilities, chronic illness and mental health challenges. This space is for you to ask a question to a supportive community of peers and contribute responses based on your own experiences and knowledge. Our community is language-based, so you can meet peers from across different countries speaking your language. In this video, we will introduce the community to you!

2: Structure of the EnableMe Community

Once you have registered, you can see the home and landing page of the EnableMe Community. It should look like this.

Edit your profile information and picture:

When you are logged in, you can find your profile icon in the top right corner of the EnableMe Community website. Click this icon, and a drop-down menu will open. To edit your profile information, choose ‘Account & Privacy Settings’, the first option from the top. You will now be forwarded to your account and privacy settings page. Here you can choose between several links: you can edit your profile fields or your profile picture, change your quote settings and your signature or notification settings.

Categories and structure:

When you are on the main page, you can find the general categories of the EnableMe Community through the ‘Categories’-tab in the top menu of the page, between ‘Discussions’ and ‘Groups’. Here, you will find the three main clusters of categories ‘Community’, ‘Health’, and ‘Living’.

• The ‘Community’ cluster is the one focused on the community exchange and socializing. Within the ‘Community’ cluster you will find categories such as Welcome Posts and Introductions, the Coffee Lounge to chat about anything, the Search & Offer hub, as well as local community hubs, and editorial posts from the EnableMe Community Managers. If you have questions or feedback for us, it will be most helpful to share in this category.

• Within the ‘Health’ themes cluster, you can scroll through or pose concrete questions about specific disabilities and chronic illnesses, to find disability- and illness-specific communities, posts, and tips. This includes separations between physical, sensory, psychosocial, and intellectual disabilities, as well as chronic illnesses, and assistive technology and therapy.

• The ‘Living’ themes cluster includes a variety of categories that cover the areas of life that may be affected by disability and illness. Here you can ask and answer questions about, for example, ‘job and profession’, ‘education’, ‘travel and mobility’, ‘relationships and sexuality’, and many more.

By posting in the right category you ensure that like-minded people will see your question and will keep the neat overview of the forum.

3: Landing Page Introduction

To go back to our homepage, click on the EnableMe logo in the upper left corner.

Always on the upper side of the page you have the search bar - a powerful search through which you can find posts within the community library of Q&As on your query. The magnifying glass icon on the top right side in the navigation is also there for your search. Within the search itself you can filter by category, timeframe and author.

Below the search bar, you will see several boxes at the top of the page. These boxes contain seasonal topics and featured articles, as well as a selection of community posts of the editorial team.

Underneath these boxes, you will find the most recent discussions. Here, posts that have recently been made or commented on, will appear in order of most recent activity. There is also a sorting menu at the top of the discussions section. You can check for most recent activity, for trending or popular discussions, and announcements by the community moderators. This preselection gives you only the last 10 questions or discussions, for more threads you can click on “Discussions” in the navigation in the header.

On the right side of the discussions section you can find the ‘Quick Links’, section, which are links to the categories, to new discussions, to your bookmarked discussions, to your own discussions, your drafts, unanswered questions in the community, and to first steps if you are new to the community.

Underneath the quick links you can find the popular tags, which are automatically generated and visible for all countries. As a community member you can select from pre-defined tags and add them in each of your posts. The tags help you search on a specific topic across countries.

At the end of the page we highlight specific categories with relevant questions and answers.

4: Asking Questions, Starting Discussions, Commenting on Discussions

Ask a question / start a discussion:

When you are on the EnableMe community homepage, scroll down until you find the blue ‘Ask A Question’ button on the right side of the webpage, right above the 'Quick Links'. You can press the button to open the pop-up menu. Here you can select whether to ask a question or start a new discussion. You can also find this button when you are reading other people’s posts, on the right side of the website.

If you want to find a specific answer, ask a question. In this way, you can mark your question as answered when you receive a comment that you deem an answer to your question. If you are looking to hear about other people’s opinions and ideas, start a new discussion. Select the category in which you would like to post your question or discussion, choose a title and write down your question or your discussion prompt.

Comment on a question or discussion:

When you are on the page of the discussion or question that you would like to reply to, you will be on a page that looks like this. Scroll down to the end of the post. You can react to the post by liking it, but you can also type out your own specific thoughts and ideas. To do so, type your comment into the ‘Leave a Comment’ box, which you can see here. If many other people have left comments before you, you might have to scroll down a bit longer before you see this box. You can then either save your draft or post the comment directly. To save your draft, press the white ‘Save Draft’ button. To directly post your comment, press the blue ‘Post Comment’ button.

Accepting responses:

When you have posted a question and received comments, you will see that a question below the comments asks you: “Did this answer the question?” and your options to respond are “Yes” and “No”. Indicating “Yes” lets the community know that there was a good answer to your question, and will shift the answer upwards, whereas indicating “No” lets the community know that you have not found a helpful answer to your question yet. Indicating this is helpful for other community members and the community moderators.

Share on social media

You might find a specific discussion or comment really helpful and wish to share this with your personal network, so more people can learn about it. You can easily do so on Facebook by clicking the Facebook-icon. You will need to connect your Facebook profile to your community profile once. Then you can easily share posts through your Facebook profile.

A form will open up where you can type in the recipient of your message and the message you would like to send itself. You need to know the username of the person you would like to send a message to. Once you are done writing your message, you can click on the blue ‘Post Message’ button on the bottom of the page, or, if you’ve changed your mind, cancel the message.

Send a message to multiple persons

If you would like to send a message to several people, add several recipients in the recipient field. You need to individually type each username of the people you would like to send your message to.
