Each faculty, organization, or group is assigned thier own space on the WebBoard server. Presently, each faculty member receives only one Board, as there are a limited number of boards on the system. With this URL, virtual boards are available from any computer on the Internet. Within each board, the board manager has the ability to create conferences and, if they wish, assign conference moderators. Conferences, like the chapters of a book, organize the materials in a virtual board.
Conferences contain messages.
They are generally created around a particular topic or function-for example, a virtual board might contain a set of conferences each pertaining to a particular course, or each of the primary divisions of a course syllabus. A conference can be open to all users of that board, or have limited user access, such as only the students enrolled in a particular section of a course. The number and types of conferences in a virtual board are up to the instructor. Please send comments and suggestions to the WebBoard Administrator .
