Course Format

Q: Can you tell me when the course is slated to begin? A: The course will begin Sept 10th, 2007. You will receive an email from the instructor after you've registered.

Q: How do I access the course and what is Vista? A: All participants will access courses through http://elearning.tamu.edu, the portal for the Texas A&M Blackboard Vista course management system. Vista gives students secure access to course materials and allows them to interact with the instructor and each other using discussion boards. CEU participants will receive a username and password from the instructor prior to the course.

Q: How is the course content formatted? A: Course lectures will be presented as PowerPoint presentations with voice narration. These presentations will be available online, and can be viewed with the free Adobe Flash player, which is available at http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash. A printable version of the presentation slides will also be available in PDF format. Students will need to download the free Adobe Acrobat reader from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. Weekly readings in the textbook and various journals will also be assigned. Thus, participants can listen to the lectures at their leisure, but need to stay current with weekly progress in listening, reading and completing assignments.
