How a Web
Course Works
- Each week,
click on the corresponding class link. Plan to complete the lesson
during the week.
- Begin by
viewing the objectives for the lesson.
- One of the
benefits of taking a course on-line is the opportunity to
experience a multitude of varied materials found on the Internet.
Please visit each listed site (found under learning activities) and
read or view the information. For some materials, you might need
Acrobat Reader. This can be downloaded (free) from Adobe.
- Typically the
last item listed under the learning activities will be a PowerPoint
presentation on the lesson topic. When you click the link to the
PowerPoint presentation, you will have two options. One option will be
to view each slide utilizing your WWW web viewer. The other option will
be to download the PowerPoint presentation. If you have PowerPoint on
your computer, you may want to download the presentation to your
computer, and then open and run the presentation on your computer. This
is more time efficient than viewing each slide individually on the WWW.
Also, you have the option of printing the slide show and can set your
printer to print six slides per page.
- Weekly
assignments should be e-mailed (or faxed) to the instructor of record
for the course. The e-mail address is c-mebaker@state.pa.us and the fax number is
717-527-2050. You might want to print out the worksheet early in the
lesson and then refer to it as you complete the various learning
activities. E-mailed assignments are always graded prior to other types
of submissions.
- Typical
on-campus courses require three hours of classroom time and six to nine
hours of independent work. This class will need similar time
commitments.
