Kiva Help


Discussions

In the upper right-hand side of the home page, you should see the All Posts area. For a new Kiva, this area will be empty or will contain a few posts from the instructor about groups and assignments. If you join an on-going Kiva, you will see threads with topics, the poster, the group, the date of the last post, and the number of posts in the thread. You will see the word new next to any thread that has posts that you haven't read.

Starting a new thread

Reading posts in a thread

Replying to a post in a thread

Adding files, links and pictures

Sorting posts

Note: Once you post, you cannot delete your post. You cannot change history. If you change your mind, or find new information, post again so that everyone can understand why you changed your mind.

Occasionally, you may create a post that you think should be deleted from the Kiva. For example, your browser hiccups and you create multiple, identical posts, or you post a corrupted file that you don't want other people to open. If this occurs, click the Contact us button to send email to the Kiva administrators. Please be specific about which Kiva, which thread, and which post should be deleted.
