Getting Started

Picture

As a novice to an online learning environment, you may have some or all of the following questions:
  • What can I expect as a student in this environment? What can I expect from my instructor?
  • Am I ready for this?
  • How can I narrow down some of the key information I need to obtain?
  • How will I be evaluated in this course?
  • How do I effectively participate in this course?

 You probably have many others and you will have them answered in due time.  But let me help you in getting some of those questions answered through the pages that are available under the Getting Started section.
