Re: Techno Aid for poster presentation
By searching the Help database in Internet Explorer 5.5 for the term 'offline" I came up with this: Making pages available for offline viewing When you make a Web page available offline, you can read its content when your computer is not connected to the Internet. For example, you can view Web pages on your laptop computer when you don't have a network or Internet connection. Or you might want to read Web pages at home but do not want to tie up a phone line. You can specify how much content you want available, such as just a page or a page and all its links, and choose how you want to update that content on your computer. If you just want to view a Web page offline, and you don't need to update the content, you can save the page on your computer. There are several ways you can save the Web page, from just saving the text to saving all of the images and text needed to display that page as it appears on the Web. = Harvey G.

Re: Techno Aid for poster presentation
You should be able to save individual pages and load them later on - I have saved pages from WebCT and have even been able to call them up in Word. Think about it this way - has the school server ever gone down and the web site has been accessed from your cache file?

Re: Techno Aid for poster presentation
Nancy - you can launch any browser without being connected to the web and it will still work. Obviously, you won't be able to access any web pages via the internet, and you'll get a message that your browser cannot find whatever home page you use. Nonetheless, you will still will be able to display pages located on your own hard drive. Simple go to file, click on "Open Page," and navigate to the location on your hard drive where your web pages are stored. Hope this helps. t 08:28 AM 2/23/01 -0500, you wrote: Dear Listmates, I was sketching out some preliminary ideas for one of my posters for WPA.

Techno Aid for poster presentation
Dear Listmates, I was sketching out some preliminary ideas for one of my posters for WPA. The presentation concerns my web-based option for a term project in Intro Psychology, and it relies heavily on my privately-owned and operated Blackboard site. I am techno-knowledgeable, but not overly so. I was thinking that it might be really neat and effective to set my laptop computer up near the poster with some sample pages from the site that folks could look at. I doubt that I can hook the modem up in the middle of the poster floor, but was trying to remember if "caching" some pages of my website would allow me to accomplish the same thing without necessarily being connected to the web. Am I correct? Do you know how I would go about setting this up? I would like some instructions for how to do this, if it is possible, and would appreciate your help. Thanks and have a great weekend.
