Dear students,
Dr. Tuchscherer and I are looking forward to our exciting course ADOL 576. We have designed a rich curriculum to invite you to engage in many meaningful online discussions, and will learn a lot from each other. Some reminders may be helpful for all of you:
1. Please log in UI Blackboard to read all the announcements so far. Keep in mind that you should regularly visit the class blog and UI Blackboard site. You may choose to subscribe to this class blog by emailing (on the right sidebar). In this way, you will get a new message from your email account when a posting is announced.
2. Please upload your personal picture to the profile on Blackboard. The good size for the picture is no more than 200 x 200 pixels. Your picture is very important for the members of an online learning community. When we read your postings and feedback, we can go to your profile to see you as if we were in the face-to-face classroom.
3. I will send you an "invitation email" for the e-portfolio as co-author on the third week.
4. Your responses to the online survey are very valuable for Dr. Tuchscherer and me. Please let us know your perceptions toward online courses you took in the past so we can improve our curriculum design in the future.
5. You may see the potentials for creating a web-based portfolio for your own personal and professional development. In addition to the e-portfolio for ADOL 576, you may want to create your own blog to share with your families and friends, or even for your future employer.
6. A body of research indicates that the interactions of teacher-student and student-student are the critical factors to online learners. Therefore, our good quality discussions and replies are important.
Finally, you are welcomed to post any questions or comments on the class blog.
Enjoy ADOL 576!
Best,
Hui-Wen
