[|A Short Guide to Netiquette] - a useful set of rules/suggestions to make online discourse flow smoothly, and the page links to a self-test. Try it out! (You are welcome to send your participants to this page or mount it on your own Web space if you retain the copyright/authorship notices.)

[|Tapped In] - a free online campus where educators may claim their own virtual office. A good place to meet students for "office hours" through live text chat. TI runs many events and is the location of regular meetings for interest groups of K-12 and adult professionals. (You must be signed in and click **//>Enable Chat//** to use the text chat. Pull down the //**>Actions**// menu to expand the chat field.)

[|Moodle] - a free, opensource course management system comparable to Blackboard/WebCT. You may run Moodle on your own server, or rent space from [|Moodle.com]. There are many help forums and visual examples at the Moodle site to get you started, as well as [|Moodle for Language Learning], which is run by volunteers to assist other teachers.
