Computer access and use

Doctoral Program in Leadership Studies
Computer Access and Use
last update 29 April 2007

All students are expected to have access to email and the Web. Students should have an email address and be able to attach a file to an email message, import a file into a message, download a file, print a message, and print a file attached to a message. Students should also be able to navigate the Web using a browser and download and print a file from the Web in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). All of this can be done either from home, work, or a computer lab at Gonzaga.

Gonzaga University provides all students with an email account where your address is "yourname@gonzaga.edu." This is the address where Gonzaga sends you information and is the email address used by Blackboard. If you do not use and regularly check this address, you will need to have your email forwarded to an address that you use. This can be done by going to https://zagmail.gonzaga.edu/imp/login.php?Horde=23eba4dbd9e66a73ad2c2ac4248d4d4c and following the link to SET UP MAIL FORWARDING.  You must be logged in to do this.

Doctoral Program Website http://www.gonzaga.edu/doctoral

Students are strongly encouraged to check the Doctoral Program Website often. Most will find it useful to save the site as a "favorite" or "bookmark" on their web browser. In response to suggestions from students, we have started working on updating the Doctoral Program Website.  All pages now have an option for printing the page. Numerous other changes including additional content and navigation shortcuts are being worked on.

Doctoral Listserver  doctoral-l

Everyone in the Doctoral Program in Leadership should subscribe to the Doctoral Listserver. A listserver allows an email message sent to an email address to be automatically forwarded to everyone else on the list. To be on the list you must subscribe (note that the address you use to subscribe to the listserver is different from the address you use to communicate with people on the list). If you receive a message that has been forwarded by the listserve and wish to respond to the sender or the message without copies going to everyone on the list, the message should be addressed to that person. Use of the "reply" function will send the message to EVERYONE on the list.

Subscribe to DOCTORAL-L by filling out the form at http://lists.gonzaga.edu/mailman/listinfo/doctoral-l. You will be sent email requesting confirmation, to prevent others from gratuitously subscribing you. This is a hidden list, which means that the list of members is available only to the list administrator. To post a message to all the list members, send email to doctoral-l@lists.gonzaga.edu

To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the DOCTORAL-L Archives.

Blackboard

All students in the Doctoral Program in Leadership Studies can expect to use Blackboard and should become familiar with it. Information on the use of Blackboard, including information on how to login can be downloaded from [http://blackboard.gonzaga.edu/login/accessingbb6courses.doc]

Blackboard "Information site for the Doctoral Program"

The Information site for the Doctoral Program has been added as a "course" under Blackboard. This is designed to facilitate communication among students in the program. In response to specific requests from students, three forums have been set up under the Discussion Board:

1. Doctoral Program in Leadership Studies, New Design 

Your comments and discussion on the new directions for the Doctoral Program. (The draft of the new conceptual framework, course requirements, etc. will soon be posted as "Course Documents.")

2.  Faculty Covenant

A copy of the draft faculty covenant and a place to share comments and suggestions. 

3. Research Interests 

A place to share your research interests and connect with others who share these interests. A place to share research resources, short-cuts, etc.

4. Book Exchange 

A place to buy, sell, exchange, borrow, or share information on deals for books associated with courses in the Doctoral Program. Please remember to remove your posting after you are successful.

Everyone who could be identified from Banner as currently enrolled in the Doctoral Program has been added. If you go to Blackboard you should find that you have been enrolled. If not, you will need to be added to the "class." Please contact Shaun Sullivan at ssulliv2@gonzaga.eduwho can add you.
