Discussion Board You can use the EPost board to facilitate discussion outside of class with the members of your class presentation group. The archive of your discussion will also provide other students with a way to further reflect on the readings for that day. 1) Link to the EPost Board 2) You will come to a UW Net ID login window. Log in with your Net ID and password (the same name and password you use to access UW email). If you don't have a UW Net ID, you can set one up online. 3) When you log in for the first time, a window will appear asking you enter a pseudonym. Instead of choosing a pseudonym, enter your real name, so that other students will know who you are. 4) The discussion board is set up by topic, with each topical thread in a separate line. Click on "post new message" at the top of the page to create a new topical thread. 5) If there is more than one message in the topical thread, a "+" will appear next to the first message. Click on the plus to show all of the messages. 6) To read a message, click on the message title. The message will appear on the right-hand side of the page with a reply box beneath it. 6) To reply to an existing message, use the reply box. A message box will pop up. 7) Type the topic of your message and the message itself into the message box. You may choose to preview your message before sending. You may also choose to send the message in plain text or HTML. If you know HTML, you may insert coding into your message and choose the "send in HTML" option. If you would like to try inserting common HTML tags into your message, use the following guide: To italicize a title or word: <i>The Title</i> To place a word in bold type: <b>word</b> To indicate a paragraph break: <p> To direct others to a Web page you have found useful in thinking about issues of race and film: <a href="http://www.thepage.edu">The Page Name</a> 8) After you're through typing your message, click "send my message." If you have chosen to preview your message, you will see a preview window. If you would like to post the message, click "save." If you would like to edit your message, click "edit." 9) Click "view current" in the upper left corner to see your message appear. 10) To exit the discussion space, go to another page or close your Web browser.
