In WebBoard, each class has its own space, called a virtual board. Within each virtual board there are conferences that have been set up by the instructor. Conferences can be topical, such as a discussion of the most recent lecture topic.
Conferences can be open to everyone in the class, or can have limited membership.
For example, the instructor can set up teams of students, with each team having its own private conference. Each button is listed below with a description of its function. Post creates a new topic in the current conference. A message form will appear for you to fill in. Refresh updates the displayed information from the WebBoard server.
