Re: Unable to access the Discussion Board for Information Literacy. Someone have the same problem?

Dear Michela,

Here is an explanation of the course and the discussion boards (please note: the course MAY NOT work on a mobile device, a tablet or i-pad; it was designed to work on a desktop or a laptop).

ALSO the course is BEST viewed in the browser Google Chrome.

If you have issues with the discussion boards please check the following:

The discussion board does pop up in a window. It could be in a separate tab on the browser and you may need to look for it. Please check other tabs on the browser where the discussion board appears. Also, you should allow the popups on the browser, if this is disabled, the user doesn't see the discussion board.

Here is the direct course link:

Please be sure you are reading the Digital Study Guide for the course that is found on your My Courses Page.

Please follow these directions for the best results:

Note: You will be unable to see other students’ posts until after you post yourself.

IF YOU MAKE UP YOUR OWN QUESTIONS THEY WILL BE MARKED AS RTN OR F AND YOU WILL NEED TO REPOST FOR A P GRADE.

The first two discussion boards are your opinion. The last 4 WILL come from work you must complete in the Study Guide and post your responses and answers to the discussion boards. Here is an example of what an answer for discussion board #1 may look like:

"We need information in our lives on a daily basis. We need it to find news, recipes, weather and even traffic problems. I use Google, Facebook and sometimes the Weather Channel app. to get updated information on various things on a daily basis."

Please be sure to click on the discussion board you wish to respond to ( you are answering the question that is asked, you are NOT creating a question) by clicking "create new message." Once the box opens you will see the subject line, please type in the title of your posts on that line. The title/subject can be anything related to the post such as: Why do we need information or DB1, 2, etc. In the reply text box you will type the content of your post (which must be 3-6 well written sentences that actually answer the questions). Once you have typed in that box you then click “the create new message” button.

All discussion boards are initially marked as P for being received. Please note though, instructors do read them and can change the P to an RTN or an F if posts are not appropriate or do not follow the guidelines. If an RTN or an F is received the student has 30 day in which to repost to change the grade.

Please let me know if I can assist you further and best of luck and success as you move forward in your courses.
