Hi Bob,
I too am using Blackboard for these two classes. I was confused before
about the options to either log in at their site or have my email forwarded
to my regular email account which I use OE for. I think I have it straight
now. I prefer to log in each time and go to their webmail site so I do not
have to look through my regular email each time. At first I had it set up
to be forwarded and did not like it and I had my outgoing smtp set up wrong
in my OE. I was getting errors all the time. We also are using an
electronic filebox I had to set up and am hoping I did it right allowing
access for them to see my files. I have not uploaded anything yet there but
intend to later today. I am now trying to configure Webdrive and am
confused about that. They gave me instructions but I am a little confused
one one thing on that too.
What do you teach btw?
christine
