You will be asked to provide a steady flow of Internet based sources and to study their content. I may not be able to help you sort out problems as quickly with other software, but I suspect together we can find an answer to most of your questions. I use a Macintosh and have PageMaker available. If you have access to a UMUC computer lab in Europe, you will find Publisher 2000 in the basic load of software programs. We use WebTycho as our virtual classroom.
Discussions take place there and documents are posted for exchange there as well.
We will use email as our back-up mode of contact. I will look at three things - individual and small group work as well as a journal that I ask you to keep that is to reflect on your process of learning and sharing during the course. You will have 48 hours for each of these tests. This is not a correspondence course. Your presence in our virtual classroom is a vital part of the learning experience for everyone in this course.
