House Keeping Please review the Important Dates for this class -- we will all meet in our classroom only once more before our final exam. This schedule shows the importance of Information Networks in the Curricula, we will not succeed without using Information Networks! Not everyone is sending attendance eMail. This is my only record of who attended which class. I am now very disappointed in the lack of participation in our class Journal. Keeping weekly journal entries is an important class activity. It's not too late to catch up. Please, include serious comments about what is happening in class. I depend on these comments to make judgments on the success of our class. Assignment for next week: vClass II Our second virtual class meeting. I expect that some of the technical problems we experineced during our last vClass will be solved. We will use only 2 chat tables this time, so unnecessary swapping in and our of chat tables will be minimal. If you experenced problems last time, I expect you will find a solution so you will not be prevented from participating this time. going to UNO is an option, but my preference is for you to use computers at remote locations ... i.e. your home or school. A discussion board is setup for us to use to exchange info about this vClass meeting. A description of the topics, who is responsible for what topic, and a timed schedule is included. A chat table is set up with 3 chats, a Group Table, a Book Review Table, and a Chat with George table. Don't forget that redCap (our eMail list) can also be used to make sure everyone understands what will happen next week. vClasses & Information Networks in the Curricula?
