Course: 1 Better Word Processing

Topic outline

Collapse all Expand all
- This “Topic 0” area appears above the first week or first topic. Known as the zero topic in Moodle, the zero topic sits on top of the current course topic so students must scroll downward to view their activities and resources. Therefore, the zero topic should be very short and only contain initial instructions for new students. This content was created by clicking on Add an activity or resource. Then selecting Text and Media area. Then pasting this text into the Text into the text editor. Then increasing the font size to 14. You can change this content by turning on editing, then click the three dots and click Edit Settings, then edit the text in the text box.
Welcome to Better Word Processing!
- The course home page is the main page of any Moodle course. It's where the weekly and daily topics and activities are displayed. This template uses a special course format called Flexible Sections which allows you to add as many sections and sub sections as you want. Our Course Template divides the course into three parts. Each part is covers four weeks which includes three weeks of new activities followed by one week of review. Thus, it is intended for a 12 week five credit college level course. To learn more about how this template was created, visit our course website: https://createyourownonlinecourse.org/

  Online Office Hours
  Our online office hours are Thursdays and Fridays from 10 am to 4 pm with appointments limited to 30 minutes per student. The purpose of these one to one appointments is to help students individually with complex tasks such as converting their computer to Linux or setting their BIOS to boot from a USB Computer on a Stick or setting up a Virtual Private Server. If you would like to schedule a one to one appointment during one of these times, send me an email indicating the course(s) you are registered for, the day, date and time options that work for you and the topic(s) you would like to discuss. My email address is davidspring at proton mail dot com. I will email you back with a confirmation email.
  
  Small Group Lab Sessions are intended to help students complete their project assignments and prepare for quizzes. Lab sessions are limited to 6 students. Students can choose and sign up for one of two lab sessions by going to the Course Home Page and clicking on the Weekly Topic.
  
  Weekly Activities Checklist
  Each week begins with a checklist of activities placed in the order that the activities should be completed and including the dates and times when homework assignments need to be submitted. Please refer to this checklist to help you complete your course activities each week.
