Distance Learning Orientation Fall 2008

If you are a student who has never taken a distance learning course, you must either attend an orientation session on the VWCC campus or complete the online general distance learning orientation session. You will find a link named Orientation in your Blackboard course to complete the online course orientation for your instructor. Each instructor determines how the completed online orientation will be recorded and evaluated but the requirement must be met either by attending the campus orientation or completing the online orientation

Note: For detailed information about the Distance Learning Orientation please review the Distance Learning Student letter.
