getting used to the 'new'  conferencing system using Google.
Good point - it's easily accessible and can use RSS feeds. But, I miss the friendliness and ease of use of the FirstClass system.
Seems fragmented and repetitive as folk can 'meet up' thro' the Student Home page, and someone has set up a Facebook page as well.
People have yet to learn how to follow the threads, posting has become muddled with the 'Hello everyone' posts in amongst Block 1.
Hope the moderators untangle everything before it becomes too confusing.
There are the usual problems with people having different tech backgrounds. Some had never come across Netiquette!
With some folk on Windoze, others attempting to use Mac there's problems because of different browsers.
Documents that can be accessed using Internet Explorer, won't work on Chrome. At least with Firefox there's plenty of useful add ons and work rounds to choose from. Also, web links which work for some, won't work for others!
Add on to that the use of different word processing programmes and the likelihood of 'conflicts' and errors abounds.
