How to use this website

[Mike Dillinger, PhD]

The Main page gives you pointers to what's important and what's new.
The Members page has links to all of the people who are members of this social networking site; mostly your classmates.
The Bibliography page is a place where everyone can find and post useful references.
The Forum page is for general discussions -- if you have a general question about the class.
The Tasks pages are for each of the parts of doing an experiment. We'll go through all the Tasks, in order. If you have specific questions/comments/suggestions about a given task, ask in one of the discussions on the task page.

And here are some slides with more details about how to use this site.

I find the page to be pretty easy to figure out as long as we go around play around with all of the options... It just takes some getting used to ^_^

Good to know : )

Out of curiosity, is it necessary to join each group/task/discussion in order to post a reply? Can that option be taken out somehow and still be able to post questions or replies to each section? It sends an email each time I add a task to reply to. So just wonderin...... :)

I'm not sure if you have to join each group. Maybe so.
I thought that it would be enough to sign onto the site.
Fill me one once you have it figured out : )

I'm signed in to the site but it would ask me for each task to join the group. I noticed on the side of each task or "group" it has a members section. I think that is everyone who had to join to post a reply.

Also, the follow up tab on the bottom to receive emails from the site, is it set up to receive every reply posted or just to your reply on that specific page? I thought it would send all replies but noticed it was only sent from my specific reply to someone's page when I clicked follow up.
