Before you start the demonstration course, there are a few things you should know and think about. After you have read this page, you can
or (as many students do) bypass the login page and go directly to the course index page,
Using These Pages Effectively | Browser Issues | Email & HyperNews | Workshop Presentation |
If you have not registered for this course (obtained a student ID), please go to the workshop cover page or directly to the COURSE REGISTRATION PAGE. The alternative is to use the generic student ID "edmedia" with password "edmedia".
The Conditional Link. There are two "conditional links" in the demonstration course. These illustrate the adaptive potential of web courses. The first is in the student part. The page "in the limit" will not be loaded until you have taken the recorded quiz for the course. Try it before and after! The second one is in the second part of the course and is explained there. It shows how to sort the class into interest groups at the beginning of a course.
The Second Half. The "Explore QuestWriter" portion of the course is less structured, but the instructions should suffice to take you through many of the features. Go ahead and author a quiz, play with the gradebook, and so on. Just remember that you should not mess with the original material or with other participant's work (unless you know them and have permission.)
Go to the HyperNews page. |
When you registered for the course, you were signed up for the course mailing list. To post mail to the mailing list, just send a message to
edmedia@iq.orst.edu
Note that this will get sent to everyone in the class. If you want to remove yourself from the list, send the following message. The lack of a "Subject" is intentional:
To: majordomo@iq.orst.edu Subject: ------------------------- unsubscribe edmedia <email address>
Where <email address> is the email address you gave at registration. If you would like to see who is on the list, send the same message replacing the command unsubscribe edmedia <email address> with the command who edmedia. You can also send a message with the single word help in the body to get more information. Note that the address for commands is majordomo@iq.orst.edu whereas mail to the list goes to the "user" edmedia@iq.orst.edu.
"Kiosk" Mode: To create more space on your screen, we recommend that you turn off the Toolbar, Location, and Directory Buttons at the top of your browser. This can be done using the OPTIONS menu in the recommended browsers.
