Communications Assignment

The communications group will be doing something a little different for the assigned readings.  We will be assigning a few web pages for you to review and fill out reading memo's on.  They are as follows: 1) WS-FTP, 2) Saving Word Documents As HTML 3) Using Outlook  4) and visit the Web CT distribution list after reviewing the notes.   Visit these sites and review the documentation.  This should generate numerous questions that you can put on your Reading Memos.  In the main points understood on the Reading Memo please have each member list how comfortable they are with computers and e-mail.  We are really looking for questions and suggestions on what to review.   We will be using the computer lab for our presentation and reviewing how to attach documents to e-mail messages, how to use the distribution list, and how to save documents as HTML.  If you don't understand the documentation, don't worry.  We will be going over the processes, but feel it is part of our responsibility to make each member more comfortable with the technical documentation they will surely have to face in their future careers.  Please make sure that everyone in your group has reviewed this announcement. 

The communications presentation will cover:

1. Saving your Memo as HTML
2. Attaching your memo to an e-mail message and sending it
3. Using the on-line memo system (if the server is up)
4. Using WebCT (if time allows)

Requirements:

1. You must bring a copy of your memo on disk in Word 97 format on Monday, February 8th.
2. You must save this memo as HTML and make the necessary formatting adjustments.
3. The file name must be your ID number as assigned on the memo page (for instance, my ID number is 52 so my file will be 52.html).
4. The memo must be attached to an e-mail message and sent to mgmt311b@cc.wwu.edu.
5. The subject line of this message must be your name, which memo it is (i.e. the first is memo #4), and your ID number.
6. A confirmation message will be sent within 48 hours if your message was received.

The following are required if the online memo system server is up:

1. Post a comment to memo ID 523.
2. Review the comments posted to memo ID 523.

Grading:

• If you forget your memo, you can use a sample memo, but it will cost you one point.   If you use the sample memo, include the word "sample" in the subject line of your e-mail message and send out your memo saved as HTML by Wednesday, February 10th.   Failure to do so will result in a grade of 0.
• If you do not finish the assignment, your grade will be 0 for the presentation evaluation, you will lose points on the use of technology grade, and you will receive a 0 for your learning report that week if it is not posted for people to review.  We are going on-line with the memo system and this is the turn in procedure.
• If we receive your memo in an e-mail message with the subject line completed like assigned, you will receive full credit.
