Instructions for entering the Classroom Conference Area

Spring (II) Semester - 2002

****************************************************************

The virtual classroom may not be open for you before the first official day of class this term. When you are able to enter the classroom, introduce yourself in the Introduction Thread and advise your instructor you have done this.

  • Click here to access the Park College Virtual Campus page:

  • When entering the Park College Virtual Campus page click "Enter Course / Exams"

  • Login your "Username" and "Password".

  • After the login is accepted, click "Login".

  • You should be in the "Virtual Campus" area with the courses you registered for listed. At the top of the page, you should see these headings, "Registrar", "Classrooms," "Faculty," "Commons" and "Info." You should see a button labeled "Enter" to the right of each of your courses. Click this button. Next the introduction page for the course should appear. At the left of the page, you should see the headings, "Syllabus," , "Conference," and "Exit".

  • Click on "Syllabus" to preview the course and course requirements.

    SUGGESTION:

  • Print a copy of the syllabus.

  • Next click on "Conference" to enter the course discussion area.

    NOTE:

  • After you have clicked on "Conference," follow the instructions until you enter the "Thread" area. The "Thread" is usually highlighted in blue (if used previously, it will be highlighted in red).

  • Click on one of the blue highlighted "Thread." Here you will see your assignment the instructor has entered in the "Thread."

  • To enter a discussion in a "Thread," click on the "Reply" button located on top of the page.

  • After clicking the "Reply" button, enter your name (Author), e-mail address, and subject (what the topic of discussion is). The subject is optional but I suggest using this area. Now enter your message.

  • After your message is complete, click on "Post" to embed your message in the "Thread" area.

    NOTE:

  • You can click on "Preview" to view your message or click "Cancel" to omit your message.

  • To post a new "Thread," click "Post new message in this thread." This is your own personal area to post your homework or discuss an assignment.

  • Click on the "Xs" to close all frames.

    NOTE:

  • Some frames will be behind other frames when loading.

  • Error messages may occur from time to time because of updates or other problems beyond the instructor's controls. Please try again at a later time.

  • Avoid "high traffic" times. Usually 5pm-8pm EST.
