Meaningful interactions among students and instructors are the hallmark of an successful online class. Our courses support several kinds of communication, as described below.
The ANGEL course management system supports several modes of communication, including discussion forums, course mail, announcements.
GEOG 583 uses four general types of discussion forums:
Registered students can post comments, questions, and responses to Drupal pages. You can also request to be notified of subsequent posts by "subscribing" to Drupal pages.
You can find the latest comments on the lower left hand side of each course page in the box titled "Recent comments".
Take a moment right now to post or reply to a comment to this page.
To post a comment, scroll down to the text box under "Post new comment" and begin typing in the text box, or you can choose to reply to an existing thread. When you are finished typing, click on either the "preview" or "post" button (post will actually submit your comment). Once your comment is posted, you will be able to edit or delete it as needed. In addition, you will be able to reply to other posts at any time
What is Jing? It is a program that is always ready to instantly capture and share images and videos from your computer to wherever you want.
To begin, download Jing from http://www.jingproject.com [4]. Once you download the software, run it. You will be prompted to create a Screencast.com account, which is a website that allows you to share your images and videos. Once all installation steps are complete, there should be a “sun” at the top of your screen. This allows you to capture images or videos at any time.
Once the “sun” has been identified at the top of your computer screen, scroll over it. Three rays will come out: capture, history and settings. The first one (far left) is capture – this is how you start your capture. The one in the middle is history – this is where copies of your captures are located. The last one (far right) is more – this is where you change settings.
In this course, you can use Jing to present material for assignments.
