When you do this, each time you sign into Caucus, you will not only see the list of your conferences but it will also show you which have added discussions since you last looked at them. Participating in a discussion Now that you have joined your conference, you are at the Conference Home Page . It lists your conference's organizer, along with the discussion items and options for viewing them. Each time you enter the conference you will have a list of anything that you have not read before. Checking new items Items, like the one on the left, are individual discussion topics that an instructor or conference member starts.
Participants can add their questions, comments, or thoughts by responding to any topic.
Items and responses are ordered by when they are submitted by the participant. In each, the author is identified and the response is time stamped. This allows for conversation even when all participants can't be present at the same time or place. Each time you sign in to the conference, new items and responses will be highlighted. When you finish reading an item and responses, you can click on Pass to go to the next new item.
