Starting in Spring 2001 semester, we will offer various enhancements to the course roster, including one with student pictures to help faculty match names with faces. See Using the Online Course Roster for instructions Encourage students to activate their palette accounts. All students have palette accounts which include access to standard applications, email, storage space on the college server, and web page publication space. Pick up a stack of palette brochures in one of the High Tech Centers and take them to class, or encourage students to access the same information on Gecko. Set up a course folder and use it to provide back-up copies of your class handouts.
Many faculty also place templates, sample work, or supplementary materials in their course folders.
Access can be restricted to students enrolled in a specific section or in multiple sections. Or you can collaborate with a colleague and share a course folder. Students who have an ISP can get to the course folders from off-site, at any hour of the day or night.
