What can you expect from an online course website?

Usually, the portal (point of entry or doorway or "front web page") into an online learning web site will have a security password window. You need to enter your User ID and Password to get to your course. This is a way to protect your grades and that of your peers. It's important not to share your password with others.

How will you learn?

The following learning formats include possibilities for an online class. Classes will involve one or more of the following:

• You will read (downloadable lectures, students' comments, PowerPoint presentations, books, brochures, and other materials).
  
  
• You will write (papers, comments to the instructor).
  
  
• You will participate in chat rooms or threaded discussions.
