For this project, we are using the Claroline courseware and discussion board, courtesy of Chalmers University of Technology. First, review all the directions on this page. After you have read these directions, return to the top of this Web page and click on the word Claroline in the Enter Claroline box. A new web browser window will open behind or in front of the current screen. You can adjust your browser windows so you can see both these directions and Claroline on your computer screen (you may also print these directions).

This page of directions may be slow to load because of the screen shots. Throughout the directions here, Chris Smart is the default (fake) student.
