 You must not:

 • Submit work that has been written or revised in part or in whole by
  another person.
 • Submit work that you have submitted for another class.
Answer: NO
• Most online classes are NOT self-paced.

• Usually homework, other activities, and
  online class participation must be
  completed by deadline.

• Many Instructors set the deadline for
  midnight on Saturday to assist those who
  work Monday-Friday.

• Use a calendar for deadlines.

• Set aside time each week to login.
Answer: That it is up to you.
                     • You should plan to spend at least the
                       same amount of time you would spend
                       on a face-to-face class.

                     • For a one unit class - you'll spend a
                       minimum of one hour a week looking at
                       some of the class resources, checking
                       on assignments, contributing to
                       discussions, and posting homework.

                     • You’ll probably spend another 3 hours
                       on reading, practice activities and
                        homework.
Answer: Usually not
• You will have deadlines by which to submit
  your homework, but WHEN you complete
  that work is usually up to you.

• Your instructor MAY require chat sessions or
  other real time activities.

• It’s important NOT to leave it to the last
  minute to do your work or to submit it.

• If you have trouble connecting to your ISP
  or the course website, then your
  assignments will be late.
Answer: Online, not in a classroom.

                      • Other than the orientation meeting,
                        most online courses don't really "meet"
                        in a physical face to face sense.

                      • We'll interact regularly through the
                        Internet.

                      • We'll be using some software called
                        Desire2Learn and using the Los Rios
                        eLearning web server.

                      • Course materials are available on the
                        course web pages, the bulletin boards,
                        announcements and email.
Answer: In many ways.

• We'll communicate with each other
  using web-based bulletin boards, chat
  rooms and email.

• The instructor is available to you
  through email, voicemail and virtual
  office hours.

• On-campus office hours are also
  available by appointment.

• These same tools will be used for
  student-to-student communication
  also.
Answer: No

• Some students think an online class is
  even more demanding than a face-to-
  face class.

• You have to stay motivated and stay
  on top of your work for the class.

• The workload in an online class is
  usually identical to an on-site class on
  the same topic.
Answer: No
             • Access to a computer at home makes it
                 easier, but you do NOT have to own a
                 computer for an online class.


             •    Students can access computers on the
                 campus in several locations (the
                 Learning Resource Center, and the
                 Business Computer lab, for example) or
                 at other district colleges.


             • Some students complete online classes
                 from work (with permission from their
                 employer, of course).
Answer:
• Know how to use a web browser.
• Know how to use an email program.
• Know how to make and organize bookmarks in your
 browser software.
• Some familiarity with web-based interactions
 bulletin boards, chat and mailing lists will also be
 useful.
• Some familiarity with word processing.
• Experience in successful Internet searches using a
 variety of search engines.
Answer:   • As in a regular face-to-face class, your
           instructor expects that you will adhere to
           standards of:
              Courtesy
              Professionalism
              Academic honesty

          • Participate with appropriate consideration
           for each other and for the instructor.

          • Your emails and web postings should:
              On the topic at hand
              Be appropriate
              Should reflect a professional demeanor
