Course Site Tour

Most of what you will need for the course will be found in four places:

  1. The  Home Page page contains basic information about the course, such as the instructors and TA contact information, links to the course orientation, syllabus, and assessment descriptions, links to student support and resources, and the list of topics you will explore over the 14 weeks. We will cover one topic per week. 
  2. The Modules tab is where you will be able to find all of the course material, including readings, fundamental concepts, quizzes, and assignments arranged into weekly modules. 
  3. The Discussions tab is a shortcut to the index of all the discussion forums including thought provoking questions in the course, with both non-graded and graded forum activities.
  4. The Assignment tab is where you will be able to find the entries for all graded activities and assignments in the course.

For most weeks, the general structure for a learning topic will be as follows:

  • Topic introduction and learning outcomes
  • Lecture videos
  • Required and optional readings
  • Topic Quiz
  • Online discussions and assignments
  • Self-review reflection 

Where to Get Started

The 'Modules' page is a great place to see where we are at and where we are headed. 

Please post any questions you may have in the general discussion board. The teaching team will reply within 24hrs, allowing others to benefit from Q&As as well. You can also use Canvas Inbox to email your Instructor(s)/TA(s) for help with anything related to this course. Find all contact information on Home page.

Kick off this course by going over the Syllabus which provide you with all the information needed to get started and post your self-introduction on the discussion board!
