Here's a list of things you need to do to prepare for your Computers and Writing 2000 Online session, including important deadlines.

Dates in red are absolute deadlines.
If you don't meet these deadlines, you will not be included in the CW2K Online program.

We've prepared a personalized checklist for presenters you can use to see what information we still need from you. (You can also use the checklist to submit that information to us rapidly.)


October 31, 1999
  • Start working on your CW2K Online proposals! Remember, if you propose early, we can respond early, and if your proposal is accepted, you'll get a wider choice of presentation dates and times, and you'll have more time to get any help you might need for meeting presenters' deadlines!
January 31, 2000
February 1-15, 2000
  • We'll send you a MOO presentation helper, and you should begin corresponding with him or her about the kinds of help you need to prepare for your presentation. (For those who are giving presentations to show off other virtual spaces, we will offer to help you find someone who can be on hand during your presentation to answer newcomers' questions and so forth.)

  • Agree with your presentation helper about the time(s) and date(s) you will do your presentation (if you wish, you may do your presentation more than once, which will allow you to attract a wider audience).

  • Make sure that you have a character for the MOO Connections so that you can begin practicing and preparing.

  • New MOOer sessions for presenters will be scheduled during this time.
February 18, 2000
  • Today is the last day to send us your choices for your presentation time(s) and date(s). Send your choices to Tari Fanderclai at tari@nwe.ufl.edu.
February 25, 2000
    If you need help with your web pages, we need to have your materials by today. See HTML help for presenters for information on getting our assistance--if we don't have your materials by today, you'll have to prepare them on your own!
February 27, 2000
  • Your web site must be ready for attendees to view, and you must send us the URL today. It's fine if your website represents a project in progress--for example, if your presentation is about work your class is doing, and they will continue to add to the site between now and your presentation, that's okay. But the website must be open and you need to have materials there that your attendees can begin reading. Send your URL to Tari Fanderclai at tari@nwe.ufl.edu.
March 1, 2000
  • The complete schedule will be posted today, and you should check the information about your session to make certain we got everything correct!

  • CW2K Online registration opens today--be sure to register yourself and invite your colleagues to do the same!
March 1-10, 2000
  • We will hold several tours of the CW2K Online conference center on Connections. These tours will be for conference presenters only, and the purpose will be to give you a chance to view the possibilities and choose a location for your presentation. You may also create a room within the conference center or elsewhere on Connections and hold your session there. You may, of course, explore the conference center on your own or with your presentation helper.

  • If your presentation is demonstrating a different virtual space than Connections, remember to prepare instructions for attendees to log into your space!
March 13, 2000
  • You must let us know by today the name of the room on Connections where you want to hold your session. Send your choice to Tari Fanderclai at tari@nwe.ufl.edu.

  • If your session is not being held on Connections, you must let us know by today where the instructions are for attendees to use to get to your session. Send that information to Tari Fanderclai at tari@nwe.ufl.edu.
March 15, 2000
  • Opening day for CW2K Online! Details will be posted.
HOME Computers and Writing 2000 Online is a companion conference to Computers and Writing 2000, to be held May 25-28, 2000, in Fort Worth, Texas.
