Nicenet contains features that are similiar to Blackboard and other online courses. We'll be using the Conferencing Topics, Link Sharing, Documents, Class Schedule, and Class Members sections of the system.
Conferencing Topics. The page provides an area for threaded discussions. You can read a discussion, add to a discussion or add a new topic.
Link Sharing. This page provides a list of Internet resources. It also allows you to enter a webpage name, the web address, and a description.
Documents. This page provides a way to post a document. You simply copy and paste from your word processor. You can even include HTML tags if you want to provide web links. These documents can also become topics for the conferencing area.
Class Schedule. This page lists special events and assignment due dates.
Class Members. This page shows the name and email address of the instructor and each student registered for the course.
