*PAGES: ScheduleThis page has the course schedule.

*SCHEDULEYour calendar-schedule lists readingsassignmentsdue dates Whats due and when its due.Therefore, this is an extremely important document.I have used a content module format.DUE TIME for everything = 11am.

*SCHEDULEScreen shot:In this last column, you will find whats due and on what day its due for each week

*SCHEDULEScreen shot:In this last column, you will find whats due and on what day its due for each week(1/19/10)

REMEMBER:

Assignments & Assessments have due DATES and due TIMES. The due DATES are listed here on the Schedule. The due TIMES are usually 11:00 AM on the due DATEBUT always double-check so you wont lose points.

*LIST PAGESThese pages contain lists of material as their titles suggest. This material will also be found in other places, such as the weekly pages & the menu bar.

*GRAMMARThis page has the following:the link to a text books companion siteon which are the SELF-GRADING EXERCISES you will complete throughout the coursea week-by-week schedule of those READINGS and EXERCISESsupplementary handouts and exercisesYoull have Monday through Friday to work on this material; have it completed by Friday so you can take the related QUIZ by midnight Sunday.

*PAGES: Weeks 2+The remaining pages take you through each week of the course, as the labels show.

*WEEKS #2+ NO, I do NOT expect you to be able to read this.

BUT, I do want you to see how the page is arranged.

This page is a good example of how the rest of the pages are designed.

*WEEKS #2+ On the top are listed links to readings, handouts, and exercises mentioned on the SCHEDULE.

Those with an (*) after them are the required readings mentioned on the SCHEDULE.

When you click on the title, you will be linked directly to that document.

*WEEKS #2+ However, since Learn has certain design limitations, I could not create direct links to Discussion Groups on the list as I was able to do with the readings and exercises. So I placed a list of due DG posts here. (I have tried to link to the DG posts on the bottom of the page, but the directions would not appear.)

So click on the DISCUSSIONS tab in the Course menu. Quizzes & Essays are linked below.

*WEEKS #2+ On the bottom of each page, Ive placed a screen shot from the Class Schedule for the relevant week or weeks.

*QUIZZES & ESSAYSOn the Course Tools (course menu) bar, ASSESSMENTS leads to the quizzes & ASSIGNMENTS leads to the essays.

*ESSAYS: UploadingPlease attach the file (rather than cut/paste).Please use WORD (2003, 2007) or Rich Text Format file types.Handouts on uploading files to the Drop Box & Tii.com are under the Commencement & Course Documents pages.

*DISCUSSION GROUPSAll Discussion Group topics are listed here, with directions for each.

*DISCUSSION GROUPSThink of these DG as your HOMEWORK:assignments (journals, activities, exercises) will be posted hereDG posts = a TEST gradeAgain, as Learn will not create a link with directions on the weekly pages, I merely list the DG that are due during that period.simply use the DISCUSSIONS link in the Course Menu (at left)

*DISCUSSION GROUPS This is a screenshot of the DG page:topicdirections

*EMAILThis is the link to Learns EMAIL. Use this to contact me & to check messages from me (last semester I sent out hundreds!)

*EMAILThe Learn email works just as most email sites. Compose a message through this.Typical email folders.

*EMAILIF a problem occurs with the Learn site, you can email me through my LCCC account at shousenick@luzerne.edu.

PLEASE, identify your course & section when you write so Ill know what youre talking about I have several sections, in Learn & not.
