Five Ways to Increase Your Technology Comfort Level by Shawn Beattie Public Folders In Outlook. By Mark Vincent General Information and Phone Numbers. By Brian Boyd Introducing the new, improved Notice Board. By Shawn Beattie and Collette Hoven General Information and Phone Numbers. The Psychology department has been developing the use of public folders in Outlook, both as a way of enhancing communication within our department as well as a tool to enhance our classes.
Public folders are electronic lists that can have many different functions.
One can easily create a folder and determine who will take part in the discussion. Those with permission can then post messages for the whole group to see. We have discussion lists for psychology faculty as well as lists for several of our classes. Instructors can use the lists to make assignments or distribute electronic copies of articles to be read as well as monitor or respond to the online class discussion. If you would like to try using Outlook public folders, contact Shawn Beattie , x7647.
