If you have used a
Web browser, using the class discussion forum shouldn't present a problem.
Follow the instructions below to use the board. All links in the
instructions will open in a new browser window. To toggle between
the linked page and these instructions, click on the appropriate page title
in the taskbar.
1) Link to the board.
2) You will come
to a UW Net ID login window. Log in with your Net ID and password
(the same name and password you use to access UW email). If you don't
have a UW Net ID, you can
set
one up online.
3) The discussion
board is set up by topic, with the discussion for each group on each film
in a separate topic line. Click on the appropriate topic line for
your group and film. You will find my message with the questions
for the film. Beneath my message will be all the posted responses
to the questions.
4) To respond to one
of the posted questions, hit "Reply to the Message" in the upper right-hand
corner. A reply box will pop up.
5) Type the topic
of your message and the message itself into the message box. You
have the option to preview your message before sending. You may also
choose to send the message in plain text or HTML. If you know HTML,
you may insert coding into your message and choose the "send in HTML" option.
If you would like to try inserting common HTML tags into your message,
use the following guide:
-
To italicize a title or
word: <i>The Title</i>
-
To place a word in bold
type: <b>word</b>
-
To indicate a paragraph
break: <p>
-
To direct others to a Web
page you have found useful: <a href="http://www.thepage.edu">The Page
Name</a>
6) If you want to
preview your message, click "preview message." A preview window will
appear. You can close the preview window and edit your message, or
you can send it as is. To send your message click "send message."
7) Choose "click
here to see the update," and your message will be added to the thread.
Click once more on the topic line for your group and film to view your
posted message.
8) To exit the
discussion space, go to another page or close your Web browser.
9) Please note
that the discussion board security function will time you out of the program
after two hours. If you think your composing process will take longer
than two hours, you should type your response into a word-processing program,
then paste it into the course discussion space.
