Announcements: 

 

All announcements to the class will be made through the announcement page (the first page that comes up after you log into myClassroom and choose your course). Please check this page at least every day as FREQUENT announcements will be posted that will assist you with your learning and in completion of your assignments.

 

Discussion forums, chat, email are found under the tab titled “communication.”

 

Communications: 

 

All correspondence between the instructor and student should be done via email.  Unless notified otherwise, I will check my email at least twice a day.  You can expect a reply to any email you send me within a 24-48 hour period, unless otherwise notified.  If you don’t get a reply from me within that time, chances are I didn’t receive the message, and you should send the message again.  Other methods of communication with this course could include telephone at the listed number or office hours if suitable for the student’s convenience.  In addition to private email, the discussion board titled “Ask the Instructor Discussion Forum” will also be used to allow other students to see questions asked by classmates, as well as responses from the instructor.

The Online Orientation course is made up of 13 assignments and 1 online survey. You must complete ALL the assignments and the survey in order to pass this orientation.
