WebBoard is an easy to use, reliable,
and versatile conferencing program. WebBoard can increase
communication in on-campus courses, and it would be possible to
conduct an entire online course using nothing but WebBoard.
WebBoard is installed on the college server, and instructors can
receive WebBoard accounts by e-mailing the request to 555@ivcc.edu
or by calling extension 555.
In WebBoard, students can . . .
- join in asynchronous discussions ("not at the
same time"),
- join in synchronous discussions ("at the same
time," chat),
- read the comments of all other students in open
conference areas,
- respond to comments from the instructor and other
students,
- receive private messages in private conference
areas,
- be alerted to any new messages,
- add new topics to discussion areas,
- upload and download word-processing documents or
other files,
- send e-mail to the instructor and to other
students,
- establish their own accounts the first time they
log in,
- among other possibilities!
