=Announcements for Week 1:= Greetings TIU students! Welcome to the online mini-course that is designed as a part of ED 110 to provide you with a brief experience of participating in an online distance education course. You will complete 8 assignments over the next two weeks based on the timeline given on the syllabus. Together we will learn how to utilize technology tools that can be used in the Humanities content areas. For the next two weeks you will follow the assignment schedule and work with others in our little online learning community to complete these assignments. Please contact me if you need guidance or feedback. I will be available online during my online office hours. I am also available via cell phone, text, or video conference. Enjoy the experience...
