Dear subscribers, I am posting this because of the multilingual nature of this list. I LOVE WebBoard and it is very easy to use, but it is strict ASCII only. It doesn't even extended ASCII like Spanish and French (forget Japanese). Blackboard doesn't show Japanese anywhere at all and WebCT doesn't in chatroom. (sigh, we have a long way to go). If you can get hands on WebCrossing, I use for an online class (don't laugh with HTML Writer's Guild) and also World Without Borders who host online forum uses it. http://www.webcrossing.com I wrote a report on it for my online class, although I can't prove this is a good URL right now because my domain hosting is down :-( http://www.sabotenweb.com/classes/karen/infra.html Also don't forget RTA from UCDavis http://escher.cs.ucdavis.edu/ Sincerely yours, Keiko Schneider --------------------------------------- Keiko Schneider ([log in to unmask]) Bookmarks: http://www.sabotenweb.com/bookmarks Manager, SenseiOnline: http://www.sabotenweb.com/bookmarks/about/senseiOnline.html Online Academic Conferences Chair, WAOE http://waoe.org
