This class is designed to be an essentially participatory endeavor. Collectively we know more than we do individually, and by engaging the subject matter interactively, we'll learn the material better. While somewhat challenging due to the distance and asynchronous participation in class, we expect students to be creative in their approach.

How to participate remotely
You will likely need a combination headphone/microphone to participate in our virtual classroom on Elluminate (alternatively, you may use a combination microphone/speakerphone if it has echo-cancellation). You will want to check whether your computer has both an earphone and a mic jack to know which type of equipment to get. If it does NOT have both jacks, then you will need to get a USB connection; otherwise, whatever looks comfortable should work fine.
- To get started, please go to the support page on Elluminate's site: http://www.elluminate.com/support/
- We suggest that you do Step 1, then do the Orientation in Step 3, then do you Audio in Step 2. This will ensure that you have the software, and let you practice using the audio.
If you run into problems, you should click the link for the "Self Help Support Portal" on the right - at the top of the next page is the telephone number for Technical Support. You can always go to Tech Support for any technical problems - it's staffed 24/7, though the wait times can get a bit long. Otherwise, try the Live Help button.
