On the first day of an in-person class, the instructor usually passes out papers, explains the class, reviews grading, and talks a little about what the class entails. In online learning, the same kinds of resources are available, but you receive them in a different fashion. After you register for one or more online classes (see Chapter 7), you’re ready to log in and find your way around the virtual learning environment, which is where learners and faculty gather together. The beauty of this virtual classroom is that you don’t have to dress up, you don’t have to fight for parking, and most of the time you can attend school whenever it’s convenient.
This chapter walks you through a typical login experience and helps you become familiar with some of the materials and activities your instructor may distribute.
