FEATURED SITE

The Moderator's Home Page

It's a dirty job. The people who manage and moderate on-line discussion lists can spend hours each week sorting messages and leading threads of conversation. On top of that, they must deal with the technical minutiae of transmitting files, correcting errors in e-mail addressing, and handling subscription requests. But somebody has to do it.

Two scholars in instructional technology, Zane L. Berge, of the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and Marie Collins, of Northern Arizona University, have created a World-Wide Web site that could take some of the stress out of the job. Their Web page contains dozens of articles, how-to guides, and examples of list-management problems to help moderators start and maintain on-line discussions.
