Suggested Daily To-do's
Online courses are continuously evolving creatures that can quickly grow overwhelming without regular attention. If you do not log in to your course for a few days, it is quite common that you will return to many unread messages, forum postings, announcements, and the like. It is recommended that you log in to your course as often as possible, preferably every day!
To make sure you don't miss anything, it is suggested that you review the following areas each time you log in:
- Announcements: This is where you will find weekly overviews and important updates.
- Calendar: This is where you will find course activities, deadlines, and events.
- Course Content: This includes the module/topic pages, text assignments, and external resources (Web sites, PDFs, etc.).
- Activity Contributions (Forums, Blogs, Wikis, Chats, etc.): This is where you will find your classmates' activities to comment on and their replies to your activities.
- General Discussion Forums (Break Room, Facilitator Forum, and Questions): This is where you will find off topic discussions, notes from your facilitator, and answers to course questions.
- Messages: This is where you will find individual messages from your classmates and/or facilitator.
