Please vote on the SOW we want to expand on. I was thinking we should combine Justin and mine into one. (Phillip) =Please click on the Activity 4 menu on the left.= =Welcome to EME6705 Team Wiki=

Not sure of a name yet but looking for suggestions.

It was suggested that for our SOW we would like proposals on converting a classroom course to an online one. If anyone has any other suggestions please let us know.

The discussion tab at the top of each page is the perfect place to post questions or comments. We can create a page for each group project we need to complete. Then seperate the discussions based on the project.

On the left you will find a contact info page, please go to that page then edit by adding your information.

If you can't edit it, let me know so I can change your user settings. Or if you aren't sure how to edit, call me and I will explain.

Thanks.

Phillip

I vote for Cosmic. I looked over the SOW and felt vivian made the needed changes and everything looks up to par. Wejdan Hack
