New students are encouraged to obtain an account on the student unix computer DANA. DANA gives NAU students, who agree to abide by proper ethical standards, access to the internet including electronic mail, the Cline library on-line catalog, world wide web home pages (http:), and usenet news.

Accessing these sort of Internet services requires establishing an electronic identity (essentially an electronic mail address). This can be done by acquiring a computer account on the DANA machine. Any currently enrolled student, who is willing to use these resources responsibly, is permitted an account on the DANA machine.

If you are an Arizona Resident, NAU has several local modem pools throughout the state. If these modem numbers are not local to your area, you should select a local internet service provider (ISP) to avoid long distance phone charges.

You are responsible for paying any phone charges (long distance and local) and ISP fees incurred as a result of taking this web course.

Every course at NAU has an associated newsgroup. You can post messages to the newsgroup. We will use the newsgroup to coordinate work on specific assignments.

When you are asked to pick separate topics for an activity, the instructor will post the title of that activity to the newsgroup and ask you to reply in the following way:

1. Reply to Group (this option groups your subject under the main topic for the activity)
2. Place the name of your specific topic in the subject window (this makes it possible to read the topics without first opening each message)

The address for this course's newsgroup is: news:nau.classes.s99.bio.226-02.
