Welcome to ENG102 Online

August 22, 2007

Welcome to the ENG102 Online. I designed this site to work with Blackboard to help you be successful in this course. This site is not designed to give you more work or more things to do. It is designed as a tool to assist you. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to use it. You can get everything you need right in Blackboard. With that said, let me introduce you to some of the features of this site.

First, if you need constant reminders to keep you motivated to get your work completed, you’ll find several ways to get those friendly reminders here. You can subscribe to the blog in an RSS reader and get updates delivered to your reader daily. If you don’t know what RSS is or have never even heard of a feed reader, don’t worry; I can either teach you or you can skip it all together.

How about email updates? You have email. You can subscribe to the blog via email, and when ever I update with important information, you’ll automatically get an email with all the information in it. Sign up once and you’re set for the whole semester. If you’re not good about checking your email, you can always subscribe for mini-updates on your cell phone. Subscribe and you’ll get daily updates in a text. Remember, text messages cost money, so make sure you have a good plan. You’ll only get at most, one text a day from me. So that is three ways to keep you up to date with all the important news for ENG102.

Later, I’ll be explaining some of the other features of this blog, like podcasts, screencasts, chat. ______________________________________________________________________
