Distance Learning Considerations:
Is Distance Learning for you? Click the following
blue link to help you find out.
http://www.ccri.edu/distance/about.html
To succeed
in a Web-based course, you should be motivated, self-directed, and willing to work on your
own and be able to navigate the web. This type of course is not for everyone. If you like to interact
regularly in person with a professor and classmates, this is probably not the course for
you. If you can solve computer problems on your own without asking for much help,
this type of instruction is right down your alley. Good time management skills,
self-discipline, and motivation are required to complete the course at a distance.

Course Description: These are introductory
courses designed to help students develop a basic knowledge and understanding of
Computers, Windows or Web Site Development. To take a course in the on-line format, however, you must
have basic computer skills such as using e-mail, navigating the Web, and using the
keyboard and mouse. Quizzes will be administered on-line. Assignments will be
submitted via online course message. One on campus visit may be required for a final exam.
Late work - assignments, quiz or exam - will be graded lower.

On-line Course management is controlled
by the WebCT (Blackboard) system.
(Blackboard) is a
course management program where much of the course resides. Student tracking,
lessons, messaging, chat, quizzing and exams will take place within the WebCT environment.
You cannot actually enter the course on the site until the semester begins and
an account for you is build into WebCT. You will need an LOGIN and Password to enter the
course. Account information is made available via your Pipeline course
account. Your login ID and password will be e-mailed to you at the beginning of the
semester.

Hardware and Software Requirements: You
are required to have use of a computer with Internet access and an e-mail.
These courses require Windows operating
system, a word processor such as Word or
WordPad. For Web Site Development you need
a current version of a web editor. For
Introduction to
Computers you need Office . You must be familiar with using
e-mail and the Internet. Other online courses may
require specific software. For best results use Internet
Explorer 6
or newer
browser.
A modem of at least 56k is recommended. You must have everything in
place the first day of class. This entire course will be conducted on-line.
You will receive an email message via your Pipeline account
and US mail one week before the class start date with
book information. I look forward to working with you in this course.
