Getting to Know You

PrintPrint

Now that you've had a chance to learn about the course and the online learning environment, I'd like to get to know you...and help you get to know each other! Complete the activities below, then continue with the remainder of the Course Orientation.

Activity - What you need to do...

Introduce yourself and meet the rest of the class!

We will use "The Lounge" (a discussion forum) in ANGEL to post, and read, self-introductions. To access The Lounge:

  • Go to ANGEL (using the link in the Resources menu)
  • Click on the Lessons tab
  • Enter the "Discussion Forums" folder
  • Click on the link to the "Course Orientation - Personal Introductions" discussion forum
  • Post a new message containing your personal introduction:
    • Who are you?
    • What do you do when you are not taking this class?
    • What is your interest in this course?
  • View other students' postings to learn more about them.

Need more help using discussion forums? Review the ANGEL discussion forum directions. NOTE: The same discussion forums can also be accessed through the Communicate tab in ANGEL.

Complete the "Initial Course Survey"

This survey contains questions about you and your expectations for this course. To access the Initial Course Survey:

  • Go to ANGEL (using the link in the Resources menu)
  • Click on the Lessons tab
  • A link to the survey is located in the "Course Orientation" folder under the Lessons tab in ANGEL
