In order to take full advantage of certain WebBoard features, Netscape Navigator 2.0+ or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0+ is required. The instructions that follow in this guide assume that the WebBoard "frames" option (this option is the default) is on.

All WebBoard virtual boards can be accessed from the main WebBoard page. Individual boards have links to them on each class page.

If you know the URL of your course, access WebBoard by following these steps:

2. Open the Netscape File menu and choose Open Location...

You will be asked to enter the location into a window as shown in the example below:



3. Type the URL for your WebBoard conference into the window and click the Open button.
4. Next, you'll be prompted to log in.
