Step 5 - Read
the Online Orientation Materials |

If you have not taken an Internet class with
us (or another Ivy Tech campus) before, you need to become
familiar with the eLearning
system. The best way to do this is to complete the Online
Orientation course. You'll see the Online Orientation listed
under "My Courses" in the middle or on the left of your screen.
Be sure that you select the Online Orientation from the "My
Courses" box and not from the Announcements box.
Complete the activities in the Online Orientation.
(Please note that Online Orientation is not a requirement
- it is provided to allow you an opportunity to become familiar
with the eLearning system.
You can also visit our "Frequently
Asked Questions" page for more info on using eLearning. |
