- Posting
Assignments, Discussions &
Journals
-
Assignments, discussions &
journals will all be posted on the "WebBoard." You are
automatically linked to the WebBoard when you click on the
"Conference"
tab at the top or bottom of any page in the course. Please
be sure to post the assignment, discussion, or journal in
the correct conference. A conference is like a folder set up
for a specific set of information. For each assignment I
will provide a specific conference folder where your work
can be posted (the conference folder labeled "Introduction"
is an example). This will help us all to find what we want
when we want it rather than trying to wade through dozens of
postings.
Assignments and discussions are
"public," which means that students can read each others'
materials. The journals (which we will begin in Week 2),
however, are "private" and can only be read by you and the
instructor. No one else can see them. I will create a
private conference for you as you post your Introduction.
Hear are some tips for using the
WebBoard:
- Post:
It matters where you are when you click the 'Post'
button. To post in a particular conference, click on the
conference title and that conference or folder will open.
You know a conference is open when the + sign turns to a
- sign beside the title. Now click the "Post" button on
the black bar at the top of the page on the left hand
side. When you see the blank window appear for
entering your information there will be a title box at
the top and the name of conference or folder that you are
in. When you have entered your assignment, click the
"Post " button that appears at the end of the box where
you enter the title. An edit option will appear. After
editing, click the "Post" button one more time! Your
message should appear in the correct conference.
Refresh
WebBoard: The WebBoard might not automatically
refresh the screen after you post or reply. To see your
latest message click the 'Refresh' button in the menu
bar.
Edit:
You can change messages that you create after
you post them. Open your message by clicking on it in the
left (navigation) window; then use the 'Edit' button that
appears above your message in the right (reading and
writing) window.
Delete:
You can also delete your messages. Use the
'Delete' button above your message.
Mark All Read
Messages:
WebBoard
does not automatically mark messages you read as
read. If you want to know how many new messages you have
the next time you use WebBoard, you have to manually mark
all messages as read. Click the 'Mark All Read' button in
the menu bar and click on the 'Mark All Conferences Read'
link.
Links to web pages:
WebBoard will automatically make links of URL
addresses you type into messages. Just type the full URL
including the http://. Be sure to include a space before
and after the address. Problems arise when you put
brackets or quotes around the address or type a period at
the end.
