Once you are rostered into your class, you'll receive a user login and password. In the Class Area you will find the class Syllabus, a Course Content area, and a Conference area. The Conference area serves as your online classroom. Class discussions are posted by Topic. Class members read and reply to each other's postings within each Topic.
All interaction is asynchronous.
No real time chat is required though some instructors hold optional chat sessions. In the Study Group Area , small subgroups can work collaboratively online, discuss assignments, create and edit common documents. The Personal Area is where you turn in Assignments to your instructor, send e-mail to your classmates, or change your password. For students in Europe and Asia, this will NOT work. Once you're in you're own WebTycho class, we're sure you'll like the ease of use WebTycho provides.
