Lecture summary:
The lecture was based at introducing students to the general life at University, Knowing the places to go for help and the most important places at the campus such as library, student central and Labs. Students were also introduced to the course structure and the most important things such assignment due dates and the tutorials.
Tasks:
Workshop one was mainly based on an introduction to the general network of ECU and what it entailed
Firstly it was brought to my attention that logging on to SIMO and being able to check enrolment details was important. At the end of the tutorial, one was able to thoroughly use SIMO for enrolment purposes and more.
Secondly student email was an important tool of communication with lecturers, tutors and other students. At the end of the tutorial one was able to send and receive emails using the ECU address.
Finally logging on to Blackboard and exploring the units in details through unit resources is something every student needed to know. Furthermore Blackboard is also important in that one can review their assignments beforehand. At the end of tutorial all of the above were achieved.
As part of the assignment it was a task to set up a weblog at http://www.blogger.com/.
While setting up the Blogg one needed to produce a screen capture to show the steps taken to get to that point.
