I plan to use eForum regularly to discuss our class reading and writing assignments. eForum is also how I will transmit any last minute changes to our course. When the course begins, I will log-on to eForum nearly everyday to answer your questions and to make suggestions.

Besides being able to read and post messages to eForum 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, eForum has a chat room in which I will hold my "virtual office hours" (see your syllabus for my current schedule of office hours). To use the chat room, simply enter your name in the space at the bottom left of the eForum screen and press the Log In button (see Figure 2). When you do, a new window will open with the eForum chat room in view. If people are in the chat room, you will see their names and chat in progress. You can communicate with them by adding your message in the space provided at the bottom of the chat screen and pressing the Send button (see Figure 3 below).

You can find more online information about using eForum by reading the eForum directions.
