I have not yet tried linking to another class elsewhere, but I have have various sorts of electronic meetings for my own classes. The simplest way seems to be a mailing list, as opposed to a listserve. A listserve allows anyone to subscribe from anywhere and requires considerable maintenance. A mailing list is simply an ascii file with the names of everyone you want to have on the list. At U of C, the procedure is to make the list and then tell the system administrator that you want it regonginsed as a mailing list. It usually needs a name of eight characters or less ending in -m. This is the system I used for ink12-m and it worked quite well. The only drawback is that you have to add all the names manually. If you are adding students from another institution you would have to add their full e-mail addresses. But it woorks just like a listserve--everyone on the list gets every message sent by anyone. Could be a problem with a big class and lots of activity, so you might consider one master list for things of universal interest and some smaller lists for, say, group projects.
