About FELIX
The private areas of the Fielding web site are referred to as "FELIX" which is the acronym for the Fielding Education Link and Information eXchange.  The system was named by one of our HOD Students when Fielding first established its Internet home in 1996.  FELIX is ever changing and has links to information and resources that you will need in your academic career. Further, community members make extensive use of our forum software for cluster communications, seminars and general community communications. Being able to find your way around easily and participate in group conversations will facilitate your academic work and enhance your enjoyment of the Fielding experience. Please note that "FELIX" is a concept and refers to a collection of on-line tools and does not refer to a single application. If you call for technical help please identify as specifically as you can what is not working for you - discussions, a particular web page, login - rather than simply saying "FELIX isn't working" and be sure to include your name and program and the Web address (URL) of where the difficulty is occuring so we'll have enough information to go to work on a solution.

FELIX Accounts
Accounts are created for students, faculty and staff in good standing of the schools of ELC, HOD and Psychology. Alumni may also have FELIX accounts as well as special guests such as members of Fielding's Board of Trustees and participants in special institutional projects. Two policies, Electronic Network Access and the Technology Resources Policy, and a set of "Netiquette" guidelines frame our online work.

Equipment
There is a link to general equipment recommendations on the Admissions page where there is a list of browsers that are compatible with FELIX. AOL's browser is NOT recommended. You can use AOL to connect to the Internet and then use the recommended versions of Internet Explorer or Netscape.

Need Help?
Telephone the HelpDesk, 805.898.4040, that is staffed Monday through Friday, 9 - 5, Pacific time except on holidays or email helpdesk@fielding.edu.  Please include:

• Your name
• Program/affiliation (e.g. Clinical Psych student)
• Browser + version number (e.g. Netscape 4.73)
• Computer operating system (e.g. Windows 98, Mac OS 8)
• Perhaps a Web page address (URL) where the problem is occuring

FELIX Tour
What follows is an orientation tour and a set of Tour Tasks to acquaint you with the information and discussion forums that are found on FELIX. We recommend you print this page (it's about 20 pages) or have two browser windows open so you can view this FELIX Tour Guidebook in one while exploring FELIX in the other. (Tip: If your browser is "full screen" the lines may be too long to read comfortably so size your browser to make it narrower and the text should flow so you can have the page be a comfortable width for reading.) The tasks for you to try will be found throughout the text of the Guidebook but are also listed at the end of the Tour in section #5. You can use your browser to save this page as a "personal favorite" or "bookmark" for easy return but there is a link to this Tour Guidebook on the "FELIX Help" page, which you'll find throughout the FELIX site. New students and faculty will have a link to the Tour forum that's related to this Tour Guidebook on the Workspace tab under the Teams heading. If you don't find a direct link on your Workspace tab, email helpdesk@fielding.edu and ask to be added to the FELIX Tour forum - be sure to include your name!

We recommend that you go through the tour before your OPS. At the OPS you'll have a chance to ask questions and get clarification about anything that is confusing. Then a month or two following the OPS we recommend that you go through the tour again. Much of it will be familiar and you'll be in a position to incorporate more of the tips to make your online work more efficient.

5. All the FELIX Tour Tasks

Tour task #1: Log on to FELIX.

FELIX access requires you to log in with your Login name and a Password. Your FELIX login provides access to YOUR acadmic records and other personal information so be sure to keep your login confidential and do not share it with anyone else.

On Fielding's home page click on "FELIX" (under the photo, in the gray bar - right side). You'll get a Login screen similar to the one below.

Figure 1.

Enter your FELIX Id or Login name and Password (use the TAB key or a mouse-click to move to the 'Password' field).

The first time, use the FELIX Login name and password that was sent or told to you by Fielding staff. Your FELIX Login name will always be the same but later you can change your password.

Press your keyboard's  ENTER or RETURN key or use your mouse to click on "Login".

You will be asked to log in to FELIX once per browser session. If you access FELIX from a computer in a public place be sure to log out and close your browser so you don't inadvertently give someone else access to your academic record or other personal information.

Fielding's home page Web address: www.fielding.edu

Troubleshooting: Can't log in? Be sure you are using lowercase letters for your FELIX Id. Also, be sure that "cookies" are enabled on your browser.

Also, verify that your browser is one of the recommended versions. With other browsers you may see overlapping sections or other peculiarities. Here are the browsers recommended by our forum software provider:

Non-MacIntosh computers - desktop, laptop, or wireless PDA running one of the following browsers:
· Netscape Navigator Versions 4.7 and 6.2
· Microsoft Internet Explorer Versions 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0
· Mozilla 1.1 (Mozilla 1.0 is not supported)

MacIntosh computers running one of the following:
· Netscape Navigator Version 4.7 on OS 9
· Netscape Navigator Version 6.2 and 7.0 on OS X
· Mozilla Version 1.1 on OS X
· Internet Explorer Version 5.2 on OS X

After logging in you'll see the FELIX Summit Workspace.

Tour Index

FELIX Summit

Below is a view of the top level of FELIX, the FELIX Summit Workspace. Within it are other Workspaces, one for each program. And in each Workspace is a number of forums relevant to that Workspace. In the FELIX Summit Workspace, for example, is the Academic Policy forum and others of interest to to the entire Fielding community.

Forum software: Tabs, Workspaces, Forums, Teams

SiteScape Forum software provides a number of particular features, which are described below.

"Folder tabs" for navigation

"Folder tabs" appear at the top of every forum software page so you can easily move to a listing of Workspaces, My Summary, Discussions, and Calendars.

Workspaces and forums

Workspaces are listed on the left hand side of the page and on the right side is a list of forums. This is much like a computer's file explorer where there is a list of folders -- select a folder and on the other side will appear a list of the files that are in it.

• There is a Workspace for each Fielding school, one for each program, and one for Fielding as a whole (FELIX Summit).
• Each Workspace has different forums within it although a forum (e.g. Fielding Research Community) can appear in more than one Workspace.
• A small arrow at the left edge indicates which Workspace is being viewed.
• Click on a Workspace name to move from one to another.
• On the right side of the page under the heading "Current Workspace" is listed all the forums viewable within that Workspace.
• Forums provide discussion space (asynchronous) for large and small groups and those listed within school and program Workspaces are generally open to all Fielding community members.
• There are also calendar forums and each doctoral Workspace has a calendar where faculty indicate days they will not be available as usual because of attending professional conferences, sabbatical, vacation, or other reasons.
• Only the workspaces that you have access to will appear on your FELIX page although others may exist for special purposes.

The Workspace tab

All the Workspaces and Teams (small group Workspaces, which are covered in more detail in a section below) to which you have access or are a member of are listed on the left side of the Workspace page. Get back to this list at any time by clicking on the Workspace tab. The folder tabs appear at the top of forum pages but do not appear at this time on other FELIX non-forum Web pages but those non-forum pages will have a link to FELIX or Summit that will also bring you back to this view. (Remember "FELIX" is a collection of online tools and there are some differences among them.)

Workspaces have links to other Web pages

All the Workspaces will have a link to Fielding's home page as well as links to useful Institute pages and resources such as the Library pages, Administrative Services, and more.

See your program Workspace for links to program-specific information (Study Guides, Faculty vitae and more)

Program Workspaces have links to program-related Web pages. In the figure below the green arrow at the left edge indicates we are viewing the HOD Doctoral Programs Workspace and the black arrow on the right is pointing to program-related links such as "Academic" where one will find academic component information such as Study Guides. The next link, Research, is a link to dissertation and research ethics information. On FELIX be sure that the green arrow at the left is pointing to YOUR program in order to access program-specific information and Web pages.

Tour task #2: Find faculty vitae

1. Under Workspaces, click on the link to a program.
2. Click on a "Faculty" link and locate faculty vitae, look at one, and return to this page.

Example: Clinical Ph.D. and RCP (Respecialization) Workspace
The green arrow will move to point to the Workspace you've selected. On the right hand side of the screen is a list of forums associated with the Workspace. These will change when you move to a different Workspace and the selection of links just above the listing of Workspaces will change, too. In this case, the Clinical Ph.D. and RCP workspace, there are maroon links to Fielding resources (FELIX Help, Administrative Services, etc.) and green links to pages specifically for the Clinical Psychology community (Academic, Clinical, Research, etc.). Click on Faculty for Clinical faculty vitae. In another program Workspace "Faculty" will take you to the vitae for faculty in that program.

Tour stop #3 for ELC, HOD, and PSY doctoral programs: Find Study Guides and Faculty Assessment guidelines

Go to your program's Workspace and explore the links in the area above the lists of "Workspaces" and the forums in the "Current Workspace".

Tour task #4: Directories - Look up someone in a roster.

You will meet Fielding community members at sessions and will hear of others that you would like to contact. Rosters are available by clicking on the Directories link in any of the Workspaces. Scroll down the Directories page to find links to rosters for students, alumni/ae, and faculty in all programs as well as one for Santa Barbara personnel. 

Remember that on all the Workspace pages you'll find links to useful pages: Directories, Administrative Services, Library Services, etc.

Tour task #5: Click on the Library Services link.

Notice that there is a link to Library Services pages as well as one to a Fielding Library Services discussion forum; both are useful in different ways. Take a look at both. Note: Students will not have access to the library databases or to document delivery services until after attending an orientation event (OPS).

Tour task #6: Click on the FELIX Help link.

Note the links to documents regarding use of attachments, email address information.
There is also a "Practice" forum where experiments and mistakes are welcome and a forum of Frequently Asked Questions..

Be sure to look at the other links, too: Research Community, Administrative Services, etc.

Tour Index

Links To Discussion Forums

In the sections above you've had a chance to see how the Workspaces are organized, how you can navigate among them by clicking on their names and how you can use links within Workspaces to access non-forum Web pages. Now let's look again at discussion forums. There are two kinds of FELIX forums. One type is for small group discussions for about 10 to 30 people and is referred to as a "Team". The other type is for large groups - all the members of an academic school or program, for example. You'll have links to both types as well as to calendars.

Within a particular Workspace you can click on the Discussions folder tab and get the same list of all the dicsussion forums in that space and easily move from one discussion forum to another. This folder tab is available while you are in a discussion forum reading entries, too, which facilitates going from one forum to another.

 

Tour Index

Teams

A team will have a "Discussion and Documents" forum and may have a calendar.  Most teams will have a moderator or someone to contact for membership changes listed in a description on the right hand side of the page. The "Team Properties"  is for the Moderator's use; please do not make changes to any Team's Properties UNLESS you are the named moderator. Contact the moderator if you would like more information about a particular team.

When the Workspace arrow points to a Team, the team tools appear in the blue bar just under the folder tabs. Anyone can see the list of Team members or Send mail to Team members. You must be a member of the Team to enter the discussion or other forums by using the forum link on the right side of the window. The forum owner can use Team Properties to change membership.

Tour Index

Email in the Fielding community is used primarily for one-to-one communications. The FELIX discussion forums are for one-to-many or group communications.  And discussion forums, whether for a small groups (Teams) or a large group (forums in the program Workspaces), all work the same way. If you've been added to the team "FELIX Tour forum" you will have a link to it on your Workspace page under the Teams heading.

Tour task #7: From the Workspace tab go to a Team discussion - just a visit

1. Click on the Workspace tab in FELIX
2. Under Teams click on the link to the FELIX Tour forum or any other Team name. (If you don't have a link to the Tour forum and would like to visit it, send a message to helpdesk@fielding.edu with the following message, "Please add me to the FELIX Tour team." Be sure to provide your first and last name, too.)
3. On the right hand side of the page click on the link to FELIX Tour forum Discussions and Documents.
4. Click on the tab "Workspace" to return to the list of all Workspaces you have access to.

The point of this task is simply to visit a Team discussion forum. Subsequent tasks will give you an opportunity to participate in a discussion.

Below is an example of a discussion forum.

Tour Index

Anatomy of a Discussion Forum

Toolbar items, Column headings and more. The links in the blue bar such as Add, Modify/Delete and others will change at different levels of the discussion so that you'll always have the most useful set of options to choose from. The arrows in the image below point to places where one can change the forum display as well as other items of interest. For example, click on one of the column headings such as Number, Title, Author to reorder the entries. Click on the heading a second time to return to the initial order. Clicking changes the order JUST for you. Other users won't be affected by changes you make in this way.

Tour Index

Tour task #8: Enter the discussion area for the Team and follow the directions in Entry #1.

1. Click on the Workspace tab (if you are not already there)
2. Under Teams click on the link to the FELIX Tour forum
3. Click on the link to Discussions and Documents on the right hand side of the page
4. Once in the discussion area, find Entry #1 and click on the linked title.
5. Follow the directions in Entry #1

Important note: Please do not use the Send Mail option in any practice OR large group forums. Most Fielding community members get more email than they want, prefer that group communication take place by posting message in the forums, and do not want to also get a copy of a message you post to a forum via email!  See more about Email and Fielding. 

Outline Structure, Legal Numbering of Entries and Replies

A forum can be conceptualized as a "folder", to use an office metaphor.  And within that folder are Entries of various kinds.  You may find folders within the folder to help organize a seminar or a committee's work. Here is a view of a discussion forum from a "deeper" level where entry # 3is being read.

 

If you are looking at a Reply, a relative lower level in this nested structure, you can move to any of the upper levels by using one of the linked entry titles above and slightly to the left of the item you are viewing. Get back to the top level where all the Entries are listed by clicking on the linked name of the forum to the right of the little folder image. 

You can contract the text of all the replies into a table of contents by clicking on the "-" sign in the little balloon OR expand the replies into full text by clicking on the "+" sign.

All Discussion Forums Work Identically Whether Large Group or Small

Discussions forums in Workspaces and Team discussion forums look and work the same way. You've been looking at a Team discussion forum for members of the FELIX Tour forum. Next, let's look at a large group forum.

Tour task #9: Look at a large community forum.   

1. Click on the Workspace tab (or on Summit anywhere you find it) and choose your program Workspace. It will be under one of the school Workspaces.
2. Look at the listing of forums on the right hand side of the page and visit one by clicking on its name.
3. Visit another by clicking on the Discussions folder tab near the top of the screen and selecting another forum..
4. Return to this Tour Guidebook.

Use Your word Processor To Create Messages and Papers That You'll Post To FELIX Forums

In your academic work you will often create documents with your word processor. We recommend that you use your word processor or other editing program as a sort of "scratch pad" even for composing shorter messages that you intend to post to FELIX rather than typing "online."  It's easy to lose text that you've typed into your browser if your Internet connection is lost for some reason.  Since you can conveniently place any text created in your word processor into the text window of a forum entry by using the Copy/Paste function of your word processor's "Edit" menu, we recommend using a text editor or word processor for writing. 

 

Tour task #10: Copy and paste from your word processor into a forum discussion.

1. Open your word processor, compose some text and use your mouse to highlight or select it (or use the Edit Menu, Select All)
2. Use the Edit Menu, Copy to copy it - it will be stored in your computer's memory
3. Use your browser to go to the FELIX Tour forum
4. Enter the Tour discussion and documents forum
5. Select Entry  #2, and
6. Follow the instructions posted there

Note: If your browser is Internet Exporer you can copy and paste from your word processor and formatting such as bolding and underlining will be retained. If you are using Netscape, formatting will not be preserved so use CAPITAL letters for emphasis or rows of ******** to divide sections in this environment.

Document Formatting and Attachments 

Word processors have conditioned us to use and expect to see bolding, underlining and other kinds of formatting.  Each word processor does this in brand-specific ways; MSWord does it differently from Word Perfect, etc., and even one version of the same word processor may supply formatting in a way that is different from previous versions.  This is not an issue when we are writing and printing hardcopy BUT as soon as we want to share our writing electronically with others who use different word processors and programs it becomes a HUGE issue. 

You can share attachments with others reliably if you first save your word processed document in Rich Text Format (RTF). You must change the "document type" in addition to the file name. Your file name should end with the file extension .rtf so you could, for example, name your document mypaper.rtf and it's also best to use a short file name and avoid using spaces or any characters other than letters and numbers.

Mac users: be sure to use file extensions (.rtf) when you name your documents so that PC software will be able to open the file). Click on attachments for further information on attachments, formatting and "sharability."

Tour Index

Sharing URLs In Forums

You can put the address of  a Web site or page into a discussion forum so that the address is an active hyperlink or is  "clickable."  

Tour task #11: Share the address (URL) of  a favorite web site with colleagues.

1. Choose a Web address (URL)
2. Copy it and paste it into a Reply to Topic 3 in the FELIX Tour forum
Be sure that you include the "http://" at the beginning of the address as that is what tells the software that it should be hyperlinked.

Tour task #12: Doctoral students - visit your faculty availability calendar

1. Go to your program Workspace
2. Locate the faculty calendar (right side, bottom)
3. Notice that there are multiple views: day, week, month, year
4. Click on a faculty name/entry -- there may be more details

Your "Business Card" and User profile (Change Password or Email Address and set preferred Workspace)

Someone searching for your name using Forum List users will be able to retrieve your FELIX Business card. You can see your own Business card by clicking on your underlined name in the upper left of the screen. You can see more information on your own Business card than you can on others' and you can use Modify profile to make some useful changes:

• Change your password to one of your own choosing
• Update the email address that appears throughout Forum and that discussion forum email notifications are sent to
• Display dates on Forum in the format you prefer
• Chose a display designed for accessibility as mandated by U.S. and Canadian governments
• Choose a preferred workspace
• Add a personal introduction that will be visible on your FELIX Business card

Here is how:

1. Click on your linked name in the upper left of Forum screens
2. Click Modify profile
3. Type your new password in the "Password" and "Once more" fields

Please do not change the information in the "Organization" area as this is used in  searching.

You can change your password near the top of the Modify form.

New students: With your permission, the Student Advisors will take your picture at an OPS for a student ID card and will also upload it to your Profile so that it will appear on your FELIX "Business card."

Note: There are specific instructions for preparing a photo to post. The resolution MUST BE 72 pixels per inch and the size should be small or it will distort Team lists. Details are posted in the Frequently Asked Questions forum.

Important - DO change your Preferred Workspace. Each time you log on to FELIX you will go directly to your program Workspace rather than to the default top Workspace: FELIX Summit. In your program workspace you have links to relevant program documents such as Study Guides, faculty vitae, and more. You'll find the Preferred workspace option near the bottom of the User profile form. Click on the dropdown arrow to get the list of all workspaces and select the one you want. Click on OK at the bottom of the form.

Tour Index

Set up "My summary" tab

Use this tab to get a list of forums you are interested in along with the number of new entries in each one. The "My summary" tab is always visible on forum pages. Click on it to see how many new entries there are in forums of interest to you. You'll want to "set it up" so it shows only forums of interest to you. Without set-up it will show you EVERYTHING to which you have access, which includes many forums from other programs.

To set it up, click on Preferences in the blue bar just under the tab.

Uncheck forums you don't care to see and be sure that items you do want to appear are checked. Forums are grouped by workspace and since a forum may appear in more than one workspace you'll see names listed more than once. Check and uncheck as desired. Click OK at the bottom of the form. Repeat the process at any time to change or add to your tracked forums as your needs and interests change.

The Task Tab

Use this one to set up a reminder for yourself or to manage project assignments. The Task Tab is always visible on Forum pages.

Discussion Forum Display Options

Within a discussion forum: On the Menu bar choose Tools, Display Options.

How many entries are displayed at once?  You can choose to have only 10 show in the contents list or 25, 50, 100!   If there are lots of entries, choosing a number larger than 10 means that you won't have to click repeatedly to see the whole list.  You have to balance that, however, against the amount of time it takes to load a very long list.  Individuals working on high-speed connections won't mind loading long lists; those with slower dial-up connections may prefer a shorter list.

Show "Reply" titles?  The titles of Replies you haven't seen show in the main entry listing by default.  You can turn this feature off so that you see only the top level entry titles. Most people prefer the default of having the Reply titles display.

Show contents of entries at the listing level?  If the entries are very short and there are not a lot of them,  this view might be useful. Longer entries are truncated so not all the text displays.

**Try out some of the different Display options; you can have a different set for each forum! You can choose different settings depending upon the type of work being done.  Each forum will "remember" the options you select until you select different ones -- next time you log into a forum it will use the same display options that were in effect when you exited the forum last.

Replies as a Table of Contents (TOC) or full text. Another display option is available when you look at a Topic in a forum that has Replies.  You can have the Replies show as a Table of Contents where each title is a link to the content OR you can have the full text of all replies display along with the Topic.  Look at an entry that has Replies.  Notice the little "balloon" just before the Replies begin -- it looks like this when any replies show as a TOC or like thiswhen the full text of any replies is showing.  Click on the balloon to change to the alternate view.  It can take a long time for a page to load when you are in a forum where there are many replies with lots of text.  Selecting the TOC display by clicking on the will allow the Topic to load quickly without all the Reply text.

Tour Index

Menu items To Try Along With Some Brief Descriptions Of What They Do

The navigation bar menu items change depending upon whether you are viewing a Workspace, a Team, a Discussion forum, or an Entry. Below are items found in the Discussion forum menus.

Next Unseen link. Visit one or more of the discussion forums and click on  the Next Unseen link.  Messages that you haven't looked at will have an ! in front of the Entry Number.  After you have looked at a message that ! will go away.   After looking at a message, click on Next Unseen to move to the next unread message.  If you've already looked at every item in the forum you are in,  move to another forum to try this out.   On the Summit you may have another Team that you are a member of, perhaps an OPS Team, or you can go to one of the community forums.

List Unseen. The List Unseen link will give you a list of all the Unseen messages in a forum.  Once you have the list you can use the title link to see the text of any of them.  You can also "Mark everything 'seen'" by clicking on an OK button at the bottom of the page.  This can be very handy, as you may not want to read every message. You can mark everything as 'Seen' and start with a fresh slate of new Unseen messages next time you visit  the forum.   As an entry creator, provide enough information in the Title so others  can decide whether the message is relevant to them. You can List Unseen in a particular forum AND you can List Unseen on the Summit and get a listing of Unseen messages in ALL Teams you are a member of as well as all Summit forums! 

Search.  This is a very powerful forum feature. The SiteScape search function is powered by the AltaVista search engine and lets you search within SiteScape forum discussions and documents.  The search  will include only forum pages and documents within forums. Web pages that are on the Fielding site but not in forums, such as the acadmic pages, will not be included. You can search on a word or other "text string" in a single forum or even on all the Summit forums and teams of which you are a member simultaneously!  For example, we recently searched on APA and found a number of entries that ranged from information regarding Fielding's APA accreditation to questions on APA formatting for papers.  There are actually two Search forms, one simple and one more advanced.  The advanced form allows you to limit your search by date or author.  With the two search options you can toggle back and forth depending upon which is most appropriate for your search.

Another Team tool: Send Mail to Team

In this tour we've focused on using FELIX discussion forums for group communication. Obviously, email is another tool and it is incorporated into the forum software via the email address in your FELIX. And one of the Team tools you see on any Team Menu bar is "Send Mail" to Team members. But this is a tool to be used with discretion and we've asked you not to use it in the context of this tour where you are trying things out for two reasons: 1) Many people get more email than they want and we don't want to contribute to what might be considered "junk" mail, and 2) And perhaps even more important, when the Send Mail to Team feature is used, the email message your recipients receive will contain NO CONTEXT information - they will not know it was sent to all the members of a particular Team NOR who sent it UNLESS you actually type that information into the message. In your future FELIX work you may have occasion to send email to members of a seminar or other forum and want to use this feature - PLEASE remember to indicate to whom the message is being sent (e.g, "This message is going to all the members of the KA703 seminar forum.") and be sure to include your name and your email address in the message since it will not appear otherwise.

WEBER

WEBER is not part of the forums but access to it is through FELIX. WEBER is access to reports run on Fielding's Institutional database where academic records and contact information are kept. There is a link to it in each workspace. Community members can up-date contact information. Students and faculty can get academic tracking sheets and other reports. New Students: You will not have access to this until after the Admissions/Student processing has been completed, which usually occurs after the OPS or other orientation event. WEBER will be more important to you later in your academic career when you want to see what credits you've accumulated.

End of the Tour  

Thanks for taking the Tour!  We hope you've learned a bit about  FELIX and  enjoyed the process.  By no means is this all there is on FELIX but now you have the basics. You have some FELIX skills and should feel comfortable exploring and participating in forums. Be sure to use the Practice using FELIX forum to try out forum tools we didn't cover. Send requests for FELIX help to helpdesk@fielding.edu. Your feedback is always welcome; please send comments about this Tour to Shelley Hughes, skhughes@fielding.edu.
