2. Discover the two web sites you will use in this course.

In this course, we will be primarily using two web sites as tools to support learning:

  1. Scholar is the course web site where we will be working together. You can work in Scholar at any time, from anywhere.
  2. GoToTraining is the software that we will use to meet once a week for the Thursday discussion groups.

3. Register for a Thursday discussion group

You are required to participate in one of the three Thursday discussion groups. Each discussion takes no more than 30 minutes. If you have a legitimate reason for absence, you will be provided with the session recording.

Use the links below to check the time in your location and to register for one of the weekly sessions.
