> We use two major sites for the conflict resolution course.
>
> The first is our web site where links and readings are.  You find this by
> going to http://www.wpunj.edu/cohss/sociology/soc399/
> You should visit this site and check out all that is there.  If you have
> suggestions, please let me know.  You will also find there a syllabus from
> last year (I'll update that soon).  This syllabus gives you an idea of how
> we teach that course here.  Naturally, you will use some or none of it,
> depending on what your own course.
>
> Later today I'll post the schools (as I know them) participating in Spring
> 2001.  If yours is not there, please let me know.
>
> We will be using a software package called Blackboard for our conflict
> resolution course.  Some of you may be familiar with this program.  If so,
> you know it has a great many capabilities (chat room, discussion board,
> announcements, e-mail, ways for instructors to store course documents,
> etc.)
> My university (William Paterson University) will host this program and all
> of you, no matter where you are, can use this program for your students
> and
> course. This site is available at bb.wpunj.edu.
>
> Here's how you sign yourself and your students up for Blackboard.
>
> 1.  Send NOW an e-mail to Robert Harris ([log in to unmask]).  Identify
> yourself as an instructor at what school, give your e-mail address, and
> ask
> him to register you on Blackboard as an instructor for the Internet
> conflict
> resolution course.  He will confirm to you when he has done so.  This will
> give you instructor access in the system.
>
> 2.  To register your students, you send him the list of student names
> (first
> and last names) and their e-mail addresses.  He will then register them
> and
> confirm those registrations.
>
> 3.  You and your students will be given a user name and password (you can
> change your password after logging in, if you wish).
>
> At the moment I do not have the files set up for the course, the reports,
> the postings, or your course files.  That will occur within the next
> month.
>
> If you have any special needs, suggestions for improving the course, or
> new
> links, or anything, drop me a line.
