A Course Email List is a single email address that CIS creates to email all students in a course. Instructors can use the email list to send students announcements or assignments for students to prepare before class. Instructors can also choose to make the list open to students so they can use it to communicate with each other. A Course Folder is a directory created on a central file server. It is available to students anywhere on the Brown network.
Instructors can use a handout folder to store electronic copies of the syllabus or other documents.
A handin folder can be created to allow students to turn in electronic copies of assignments. Instructions on how to read and post to a newsgroup are available online in PDF format. A Course Email List is used in the same way as any other email address. Instructors and students use their preferred email software, e.g. Eudora, to send mail to the course email address. Only Brown staff, students, and faculty can be on a course email list.
