00:14.250 –> 00:19.720
It’s really important to use all the tools
that are available to you from both our web
00:19.720 –> 00:22.040
course and also other resources.
00:22.040 –> 00:26.200
Number one that I have found is the Âé¶¹Ó³»´«Ã½ Library
system.
00:26.200 –> 00:30.050
The online resources that they have available
are immense.
00:30.050 –> 00:34.980
And the librarians are really really helpful
and can direct you to materials that you need.
00:34.980 –> 00:41.210
Besides the library resources, there are several
other tools available to you in Webcourses.
00:41.210 –> 00:46.170
We have the discussions and there’s also chats
where you can talk to your classmates and
00:46.170 –> 00:49.390
exchange ideas and work out problems together.
00:49.390 –> 00:54.210
But also, do not forget the email tools that
are there to get in touch with your instructor.
00:54.210 –> 01:00.180
I myself, when you send me a message, I get
an email immediately notifying me that you
01:00.180 –> 01:04.879
have sent me a message so I can respond to
you in real-time to help you solve your problems.
01:04.879 –> 01:09.080
I urge students to look into the writing center
on campus.
01:09.080 –> 01:13.490
Now, they’re mainly for face-to-face, however,
they do have an online component that students
01:13.490 –> 01:16.880
are able to participate in, in order to get
some assistance.
01:16.880 –> 01:21.890
Another source for students is Webcourses@Âé¶¹Ó³»´«Ã½
Support and I encourage students to reach
01:21.890 –> 01:26.530
out to them if they have any technical questions
or issues that perhaps I might not be able
01:26.530 –> 01:27.890
to help them with.
01:27.890 –> 01:34.170
I find that students are habituated to going
to Google first and I go to Google a lot so
01:34.170 –> 01:35.479
I understand that.
01:35.479 –> 01:41.000
But, our library has a lot of specialized
resources that are available to them and the
01:41.000 –> 01:42.960
library has its own help desk.
01:42.960 –> 01:48.030
Another thing I’ve done for my students is
set up Materia widgets that they can use for
01:48.030 –> 01:52.840
study skills and I think because you don’t
always have them in your classes sometimes
01:52.840 –> 01:55.500
students don’t realize how helpful they can
be.
01:55.500 –> 02:00.930
But I’ve set up numerous flashcard decks so
students can practice looking at Old English
02:00.930 –> 02:06.799
phonology or morphing types or clause types
or any of those things.
02:06.799 –> 02:12.110
I’ve also set up some games so I have a hangman
game that helps them learn the international
02:12.110 –> 02:13.810
phonetic alphabet.
02:13.810 –> 02:15.450
I have a crossword.
02:15.450 –> 02:17.299
I have a bunch of stuff there.
02:17.299 –> 02:23.530
So, I link to that from my class and I can’t
always tell if students have been there but
02:23.530 –> 02:28.430
I can tell if they have learned the material
and the students who have learned the material
02:28.430 –> 02:31.270
often say, “wow, those flashcards were a big
help.”
02:31.270 –> 02:36.610
So, there are two resources I would recommend
my students to be able to utilize to be successful
02:36.610 –> 02:38.360
in my online courses.
02:38.360 –> 02:42.220
The first would be the Student Tour that is
produced by the university to guide them through
02:42.220 –> 02:44.060
the online process.
02:44.060 –> 02:49.140
The second would be support for Webcourses,
which is also an online tool that you can
02:49.140 –> 02:52.340
easily click to and get the assistance you
need.
02:52.340 –> 02:56.440
Bottom line though, the best resource that
you can have is your professor.
02:56.440 –> 02:59.230
We’re here to help you, all you have to do
is reach out.
02:59.230 –> 03:06.750
Âé¶¹Ó³»´«Ã½ has a variety of online resources that
can be accessed at any time, anywhere, within
03:06.750 –> 03:08.209
any context.
03:08.209 –> 03:13.579
All these resources are geared at ensuring
that you are successful in your online course.
