instructor and classmates.
This course will meet entirely online.
Where:
Online in a web classroom environment called MOODLE.
We will be working inside the Gavilan iLearn
online class management system, which has a list of modules. Under each
module, there will be references or links to a video or PowerPoint
presentation (or instructions to view these resources on a CD that you
will receive from me), to an assignment, sometimes to a short quiz, and
sometimes to a forum discussion. In the assignment link, there will be
a place where you upload your completed assignments for me to evaluate.
I will grade these exercises and give you feedback on them.
Under the administration block on the left side of the screen, there is a link to view your grades.
Many times, especially if you did not get the entire full points on an
assignment, I will leave comments in that grade area. So please be sure
to check those comments. You'll need to scroll down, past your
submission, to see my comments.
The link to People
under the participants block will give you a list of everyone in the
class. You can click someone's name to send them a private message.

Important Course Information:
Students
will be required to complete assigned readings and exercises, view
video tutorials or PowerPoint presentations, submit completed exercises
for evaluation points, participate in online forum discussions, and
answer questions about the material on a weekly basis.
Students
are expected to know how to save files, copy and paste text, change
file formats, send and receive email and attachments, and navigate the
internet.
Students are responsible for
their computer use and accessibility. Should your computer fail, you
are required to seek alternative computer use through a library,
Gavilan College computer lab, or other viable source. Computer problems
are not a legitimate reason for not getting work turned in on time.
Allow yourself plenty of time to get the work done well ahead of any
deadline.
There will be weekly due dates,
but students may log on to complete work at any time during the
day/week. Students may also work ahead through the assignments, however
they must also participate each week in a discussion forum pertaining
to that week's assignment.
Required Textbook:
Benchmark Series: Microsoft Word 2007 Level 2 - Windows Vista Version,
by Rutkosky/Rutkosky ISBN 978-0-76383-063-2
The text is available in the Gavilan Bookstore or you may wish to order it online from Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, or another online book store.
Warning!
If
you have any questions or problems, contact me right away. As an online
student, the responsiblity for keeping up and getting help when you
need it sits squarely on your shoulders.
I can't see you, so I won't know when you're having problems.
It's up to you to let me know.
You can always reach me through email at jconrey@gavilan.edu
