Here is a brief set of instructions on how to use our class electronic conference.

Once you click on the Go To Discussion link, a new window will open. You will be asked to log on. You should log on using the SAME username and password that you use to log on to midd-unix.

When you've logged on, the following is a basic procedure you may want to follow:

1. Press

2. Choose the ID 013 conference by clicking on the link.

List all topics to see the thread of the discussion questions.

4. To follow a topic, click on the total at the end of each topic to see all of the messages.

5. Scroll down to see messages that have been posted to this topic.

6. To post your own message, fill in the white box at the bottom of the page with your remarks.

Press to get your message sent.

7. At this point, you can press:

View postings
to see what you've just posted.

OR

Return to this topic homepage
to read all the postings (step 5.)

OR

to leave the system.

NOTE:

If you are using a computer in a the library or a public lab, you should always press at the end of your Motet session, so that other people can not access your Motet account and make postings in your name.

It is recommended that when you first go to Motet's main page that you click on the Help button and take the 10 minute Tutorial.
