Assignment #1


Using my self-introduction as a model, your first assignment will be to visit the course Web Discussion Board to post your self-introduction.

Please copy the items below and include all of the items your introduction:

Hint: You should be able to copy and paste the prompts from this webpage into the "Add A Message" box on the web discussion board. Scroll down the page to "begin copy here". Hold down the mouse button while you drag across the text, stopping when you reach the "end copy here". Now, select Copy from the Edit menu on your web browser to copy the selected text into your computer's clipboard (temporary memory).

*********** begin copy here**********

 


********** end copy here**********

Hint: You should be able to copy and paste the prompts from this webpage into the Add A Message box on the web discussion board. Scroll down the page to "begin copy here" Hold down the mouse button while you drag across the text. When you reach the "end copy here" let go. Now, select Copy from the Edit menu on your web browser to copy the selected text into your computer's temporary memory.

Next, click on the web discussion board link at the top of the page to open the course web discussion board in a new web browser window.

Click on the Module 1 link and then on the Self Introductions message thread. Scroll through the postings until you see the Add A Message text box.

Position your cursor in the Add a Message text box and click once. Navigate to the web browser Edit menu and select Paste. If the edit menu paste option doesn't work, try using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl - v on a PC and command - v on a Mac - hint: the command key is the little open apple key next to the shift bar).

The text that you copied should appear in the text box. If your web browser inserts extra spaces into the text, you can edit them out using the backspace key.

  • Enter your own full name in the Username: box (not the course website username)
  • Leave the Password box empty
  • Enter your e-mail address in the E-Mail box

Note: contrary to what the on-screen note next to the box says, your e-mail address is required. This will allow the instructor and other course participants to respond to your web board postings.

Click on the Preview/Post Message button. Review what you have posted, making changes if necessary. Click on the Post this Message button to save your posting to the web discussion board.

Be sure to revisit this corner of the course website as new participants will be joining on a regular basis. Reading the other postings on the web board will allow you to become acquainted with your "virtual classmates." Throughout the course, you will have opportunities to participate in a variety of collaborative projects with other members of the class.

Proceed to Assignment #2
