ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ONLINE ORIENTATION

 

1.  Is the Online Orientation required?

            Yes.  The Online Orientation is a requirement for taking Internet Courses at Arkansas Northeastern College.  There are no exceptions.

 

2.  I’m very comfortable with using computers.  Why do I have to take this Online Orientation?

            The Online Orientation familiarizes students with the WebCT course management system, which

            Arkansas Northeastern College uses to deliver its Internet Courses.  Even students with extensive computer knowledge benefit from learning some of the unique features found in WebCT.

 

3.  Do I have to complete the Online Orientation every time I enroll in an Internet Course at ANC?

            No.  Students are required to complete the Online Orientation only once.  The Online Orientation is detailed and comprehensive and is meant to cover any skills needed for any Internet course that a   student will encounter at ANC.

 

4.  How long does it take to complete the Online Orientation?

            This depends on many factors, including the student’s familiarity with WebCT and his/her own

            schedule.  The Online Orientation can be completed during one session, or a student may choose to work on it in smaller increments, as time permits.  In most cases, a student should be able to successfully complete the Online Orientation in approximately two to three total hours            (Please note:  This is only an estimate!  Your own time may be much shorter or greater than this!)     

 

5.  My instructor has scheduled an orientation session for the first night of class.  Is this the same as the Online Orientation?

            No.  Individual instructors for online courses may choose to meet with students during the first  week of the semester to go over the specific class requirements.  Students must still also        complete the Online Orientation.

 

6.  Is there help available while completing the Online Orientation?

            Yes.  You may send an email to WebCT administration through the Online Orientation website, or you may email Scott Simpson at ssimpson@anc.edu.  Please note:  For help with issues in a             specific online course, you must contact the instructor for that course.

 

7.  How will I know when I have successfully completed the Online Orientation?

             To verify that you have successfully completed the Online Orientation, click My Grades in the Online Orientation website.   The word Completed will appear for the column labeled Final Result for Online Orientation.   This will not occur until all assessments have been done, and the following results obtained and posted to My Grades.
