Online Orientation

Greetings KINE 1304 Class:

Welcome to Personal Health on-line. Hope you enjoy learning about personal health issues through the use of your computer.

This is information sent by the distance learning department to help students decide if they are enrolled in the right class for them found at http://dl.austincc.edu/students/Step2DistanceLearning.htm Check out this information to see if it will help you.

Email me your personal information to help us stay in contact if there are any technical problems. Keeping me informed up front will help both me and you. I need your complete name, course section number, home phone, cell phone, or any other number where you know you can be reached. Take care of this right away.

Another detail you need to attend to is to get a text book located at the Austin Community College Rio Grande campus bookstore, unless you make specific arrangements with them. The text title is Decisions for Healthy Living by Pruitt & Stein, ISBN number: 0321106717. you can learn about textbook and purchasing once you login to Blackboard where you will be completing your on-line work. Take care of purchasing your text immediately; you cannot complete the work successfully without it.

Please make a reference to this this course number and section you are enrolled in when emailing me outside of blackboard. Please do not send attachments, I will not open them.

Go directly to Blackboard to begin this course. http://itdl.austincc.edu/blackboard
You must follow all the directions for "getting started" on blackboard to change your password and to log-in with your personal email address. This will save you days of frustration later on. This will allow you to receive all the course notices and emails from me.

The first week of school you should go to the Blackboard to access the 1st Week Orientation tab to complete the survey: this is due the first week of school. You can take it as many times as you want to familiarize yourself with the Blackboard course. It is due the first week of school. You will not be considered fully enrolled in this course until you complete this Blackboard course orientation.
