Congratulations on your decision to take an online class from Los Angeles Valley College! You are about to embark on an exciting learning experience. You will meet new people, join a community of learners, and have the opportunity to improve your technological skills, as you engage with your instructor and classmates in your online class website.
Because they are learner-centered, online classes provide an excellent learning opportunity, and because everyone in an online class must participate, you will become familiar with your classmates, often working in collaborative settings. Though you will still have deadlines for submitting assignments, online classes allow you the flexibility to do your work at whatever time you want and at your own pace.
To make all this happen, however, you need to learn how to use the Course Management Software (CMS) program that LAVC uses for all our online classes.You also may need to learn some basic computer operations, if you do not know how to do them.
This tutorial will help you learn to use the computer program you will use in your online class.
To find out what computer skills you will need to be successful in your online classes, see the campanion tutorial, Online Learning Success, available on the Student Resources Page of the Virtual Valley website.
