Welcome
Welcome to Inside the Recording
Industry. This homepage will be updated periodically with information
to help you through the course, but most of the tips and instructions
are found on other pages.
We will be using CourseSites for your quizzes, scavenger hunts, personal web
pages, chats, message boards and other academic purposes.
This is a self-paced course but we will have occasional webinars
with the instructor and industry insiders.
Final Exam
For
Spring 2012, your final exam is on ________________.
You must show up that day
or make arrangements through your instructor for alternative times and places. Study guides will be available online
7 days before the
exam.
Getting Started
To get started,
click on the course introduction button. Once you've already been
oriented, you can go directly to the course modules button to get your
assignments. Sometimes
the system does not automatically grade your quiz or scavenger hunt
and it becomes necessary for the instructor to enter the system and
run the grade function. Do not panic if
yours happens to be one of those, but it wouldn't hurt to notify the
teacher.

Using the system
We are using CourseSites, a system developed by
Blackboard. You will be sent an email message with instructions for
setting up a student account. Once you set up your account, browse
through the CourseSites.
|
All quizzes, scavenger hunts and other interactive assignments will
be done through Course Sites. But you should bookmark the
Course Modules page for quick
reference. You will also find other content on CourseSites,
including the Inside Sessions videos, study guides and other
teaching tools.
|
Important
notice: The Inside Sessions videos are available online
in the content section of this course on
CourseSites. |
