How GDP 215 works
Required Materials: Lynda.com Classroom
This semester we will be using video courses offered through the online site lynda.com. Information will be emailed regarding cost, where and how to register.

Each week you will be required to:

1. Read the WEEKLY ACTIVITIES PAGE - this is your checklist of things to complete for the week.
• READINGS from your text as well as links to relative sites for that week.

• ASSIGNMENTS will be listed but -you will find the links to those assignments in that week's block, not on this page.

• VIDEOS will also be listed and probably have links within this page.

2. EMAILS I will be using Moodle email for personal contact and not for class information.

3. Use the ASK QUESTIONS HERE link (under the class logo) to ask questions, answer other's questions, let everyone know of an interesting site you have found.

4. ANNOUNCEMENTS I will be sending class information using this forum.

5. Twitter I will also be sending information using Twitter (SMS )and I have added the Twitter widget to the class site. I am asking all of you to register for a Twitter account(if you don't have one) and participate in Twittering!
Once you have registered, on your Twitter home page, click on FOLLOWING. A page appears and says "YOU ARE FOLLOWING 0 PEOPLE add or invite more". Click on add and select the FIND ON TWITTER tab and type in liz4gd and search.

6. Active participation through Forum discussions with your classmates will support a large part of your success. Questions and curiousity are always encouraged. You will be required to comment on most discussions and your comments will be part of your grade for that assignment.

6. Use Xythos to store any school files (tab in your Pipeline account).

7. Thursday meetings will be set up where students can work independently. I will be available online via a webinar link in each Moodle unit area. At times we will meet in the campus classroom depending on the assignment.

8. Have FUN...REQUIRED
