The COURSENUMBER course website will be your "classroom" for this online course. Take a few minutes to explore the website to familiarize yourself with the layout of the "classroom."

Navigation: Top Row

Directly below the logo on every webpage in the course, you will notice four links that will:

home: return you to the course homepage

instructor: open a page with the instructor's e-mail address. You will want to add this address to your e-mail software's address book. You will use your regular e-mail software to send e-mail messages to the instructor.

web discussion board: open a new web browser window with the course web discussion board. You will use the web discussion board to submit many of your course assignments and read messages from the instructor and from your fellow course participants. The web discussion board has an excellent on-screen tutorial that you can read by clicking on "Getting Started". You can print a reference copy of the tutorial by clicking here. When the new screen opens, click on the Print icon in your web browser toolbar or select Print from the browser File menu.

reference links: open a new browser window that contains every hypertext link contained in the course modules. This webpage will be useful when you want to return to a link your explored earlier in the course and do not want to burrow down into the modules to find the link. You may want to print a copy of this page for future reference.

Navigation: Second Row

The second row of website navigation links will take you to the ten course modules. You will notice that the top navigation row remains the same but that the second row changes to reflect the module organization scheme. The second row now displays links that will:

introduction: open a browser window with the module introduction and content.

assignments: open the webpages with instructions for the module assignments. Click on the number (1 | 2 | 3) to open the specific assignment.

links: open a webpage that contains all of the links for the module. This differs from the top row reference links in that it only has links for the current module.

You will notice that the color of one of the second row links will change to red to indicate your location in the module. Links to the other webpages in the module remain active to allow you to easily navigate the module.

The third navigation row contains the title of the module or the specific section of the module.

Note: If you haven't already done so, print a copy of the course logsheet. You will need this to record your assignment completion date and will need to return the logsheet to your instructor upon completion of the course. Click here to open an online copy of the logsheet.
