Threaded Discussion Boards (UNIX)

Threaded discussion boards are a fantastic way to facilitate online discussions. With this technology, you and your students have the ability to communicate with one another online without having to coordinate your schedules. Plus, your e-mail Inbox will not become inundated by the voluminous amounts of mail that can sometime be generated through the use of an e-mail discussion list.

Threaded discussion lists may be generated in one of two ways - if you are developing a web site using your TCNJ UNIX account, simply click here to fill out a discussion list request form. You will be e-mailed with detailed instructions on how to incorporate your new discussion board into your website within 48 hours.

If you are developing your web site using either the Intrasun or Facweb systems, then you may use the internal "Discussion Board" feature of FrontPage 2000. For more instructions on how to use this feature, check out the tutorial.
