How long you need to be online depends on the activities for that session. Look at the schedule items to see when certain assignments are due and when projects begin and end. Different courses may offer very explicit schedules that tell you when you need to be online for different assignments. For example, you may have a class discussion for which you will need to submit an initial comment on a Monday and then respond to another student's comment on Tuesday. Requirements of this kind will be spelled out in a schedule item.
Flexibility is built into online courses.
You are responsible for getting materials from the MediaCenter. You will need to add to discussions and reply to other students' comments. You will need to hand in individual assignments on time. Your presence in the course will be apparent only if you add to discussions and do the online assignments. Copyright 2000 by Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System.
