About WebBoard
WebBoard will be retired on December 31, 2007. Current users, and those who are interested in using an online conferencing system, are asked to talk with a CITES Instructional Design Consultant to choose another option, such as Illinois Compass.
WebBoard is a conferencing system used in business and education for online communication. Our installation of WebBoard requires a login and password for access. Unlike email, WebBoard messages are posted in web sites that structure online conversations in ways that encourage collaborative dialogue. This structure comes from the use of distinctly titled conference areas and by "threading," a term that describes the way that a "new post" serves as the start of a new "topic" thread that includes indented "replies" beneath the new post.
