Using the Newsgroups

  • Newsgroup access is via the Blackboard site: browser mode.
  • The advantage of the browser mode is that it is simple to use, can be easily accessed from any web browser, and supports images (either as attachments or embedded in the body of a posting with the help of some HTML code). The disadvantage of the browser mode is that you need to be connected to the internet the entire time.
