Welcome to the Introduction to Robotics online community. Here students can communicate and interact with each other and the instructor. This site gives students a common place to congregate and interact outside of the classroom. This project is part of the larger on-going Virtual ATDP project. The site is divided into a few main sections.
-
The Bulletin Board: A weblog for major announcements and headlines.
-
The Forums: The forums are a discussion area where students can post questions and engage in discussion about the class. They are further sub-divided into more specific sub-forums. For a guide on how to post in these forums, please consult these guides: Forum Code I, Forum Code II
-
The Chat Room: Students can partake in live chat sessions much like in AIM. To help coordinate meeting times, there is a Schedule Forum. Post times to meet in the chat room there.
-
Group Files: Students can upload files related to robotics for group access.
Be sure to check out the Awards section for an explanation of awards given out for active participation in this online community.
The Activity Tracker allows you to find where the activity is and jump right to it. It lists the most recent activities such as changes to the site, posts on forums or comments on blogs, etc...
