The purpose of the course
listserv available for cafe regulars is to disseminate course announcements,
changes to the schedule, and other information
which needs to be received in a timely
manner. You will also be assured that you
receive the information at the same approximate
time as everyone else and do not have to worry if
you did not have time to check the web site for
such information.
If individual students have
questions that need to be directed to an
instructor or mentor, he or she should email the
instructor directly. If a particular
question is asked by several students,
clarification will be posted on the listserv for
the benefit of all. Other questions some
of you may have can be answered by emailing
another student individually rather than posting
a message on the listserv and receiving too many
replies. The purpose in utilizing this listserv
is for important announcements and sharing
course-related information amongst class members
rather than to junk up your email inbox. Before
you post a message to the listserv please make
sure it is appropriate for this purpose.
To begin receiving postings
from the listserv you should read and follow the
instructions for subscribing and posting to the
listserv below. Please remember that posting
messages to the course listserv and participating
in threaded discussions are two different things.
Joining the
listserv:
Login to
your email account. (Make sure you log-in to the
account that you plan to use for sending any and all
messages to the listserv.)
Create a
new message like the one shown below. In the to
box, enter:
listserv@mailer.uwf.edu
Leave the subject box blank.
In the message body, delete anything
that is already typed there. Enter these four words
(but substitute your own first and last name
for firstname and lastname):
subscribe
itseminar firstname lastname
Make sure that
the address is correct, the subject line is blank, and that
there is absolutely nothing else typed in the body of the
message other than the four words shown above (where your
first and last name replace melissa kelly).
Send the message.
Usually
within 24 hours of sending the above message to the listserv,
you will receive a confirmation
message similar to the one shown below.
YOU SHOULD READ THIS EMAIL COMPLETELY AND
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR CONFIRMING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION!!!
If you do not follow the instructions, you will NOT be
subscribed to the listserv.
When you
click the link provided in the email message, a browser window
similar to the one shown below will open.
You will know you have
successfully subscribed to the list when you
receive a message (like the one shown below) from the list manager welcoming
you to the list.
You should save this email
message because it provides you with information
you will need about posting messages to the
listserv and unsubscribing (taking your email off
the list).
After successfully
subscribing to the listserv you can send messages
to the listserv using the following email
address:
itseminar@mailer.uwf.edu
Note:
The email account that you use to sign up for the listserv is
the only account that you can subsequently use to send messages
to or reply to messages from the listserv. For example, suppose
that you have a Hotmail account in addition to your ArgoNet
account. If you send a message from your ArgoNet account to sign
up for the listserv, then you have been subscribed with that
email address. If you try to send a message to the listserv from
another account (such as Hotmail), then you will get a
notification message that your posting has been rejected.
If you have problems subscribing to the
listserv or sending messages to the listserv, click this coffee
mug. The mug links to a printable Word document that you
can use to troubleshoot the problem. (The link will
open in a new browser window.)
If you do not want the coffee, send a
message to
Melissa for assistance. Please include a copy of the error message so
that she can assist you more
effectively.
