419 - E-mail

In case you are only monitoring the blog, and not your Simmons e-mail - I sent a message out on the weekend regarding the things you have to do before the first time we meet - this coming Tuesday. If you did not get that e-mail, please let me know immediately, since it means that you are not registered in the course, or your Simmons e-mail is not working. I have had InfoSheets from about half of you, and half of you have filled in the "Hello my name is" entry in Moodle. I do not want to get a whole bunch of e-mail and Moodle entries on Monday, just before class. In this blended course, you will need to be doing things continually, not just once or twice a week. If that's not comfortable for you, I understand perfectly, and there is still time to switch to another course.

415 - Web stuff edited

Hi all - I have edited the 415 course Web pages so that they are now ready for the Spring semester. All that remains is to load up your first assignments, and I will try to get to that soon. Nothing is due until the second week of classes, so don't worry. And please do read the FAQ, especially about buying books.

419 - First task

I am going to be getting content ready for you from an Internet cafe in Glasgow. However, I have opened the course to enrollment, so please go ahead and log in to Moodle and enroll. The first thing I would like you to do is edit your profile (under Participants) so that you have a picture of yourself and a brief statement about why you are taking this course.

I'm back, and gone again

Hi all, and Happy New Year. I am in my office for one day, and then off to Glasgow and not back in school until February 1. I would appreciate not getting e-mail during that time, though I will be using an Internet cafe regularly while I am gone. I have put some recent photos in flickr, if you want to see what I have been up to.
