Orientation Part III_b: Checking DVDs


Note:  To get your disks you must submit the Lab Materials Form as previously instructed.  If you missed that instruction it is likely you missed other instructions as well, and you should review all previous instructions.  When you do you will encounter the Lab Materials Form.  That form itself includes a link to a second form.  You will need to submit both forms.

Select the following option (you have only one choice):

Your course (e.g., Mth 151, Mth 173, Phy 121, Phy 232, etc. ):

If you have one, please provide your access code.  You may leave this part blank if you do not yet have an access code. 

If you have not already made the request, you need to immediately return to the menu heading "Part 1:  Establishing Communication" (you are currently on Part 3:  Startup and Orientation) and follow the simple instructions for submitting your request.  You should also complete the rest of Part 1.

Remember that it is crucial to enter your access code correctly.  As instructed, you need to copy the access code from another document rather than typing it.

Access Code
Confirm Access Code

Your Name:

First Name
Last Name

Your VCCS email address.  This is the address you were instructed in Step 1 to obtain.  If you were not able to obtain that address, indicate this below.

Copy the document below into your word processor or text editor.  Complete each task, and respond as indicated:

Task:  `q001.  Check out the videos.

It is possible that you have received DVD's containing the videos for the course.  However these DVD's will run out early during Spring Semester 2015, and will no longer be sold.  Instead the videos, posted to YouTube, are embedded in the online Class Notes documents.  You will have the option to purchase a USB flash memory device containing a copy of the Class Notes documents with embedded videos.

More specifically:

Course videos are embedded in the Class Notes on your Assignments Page.  There is a note to this effect just above the Module 1 heading on that page.  There is also a link to the Class Notes document at the heading of Column 8 of the assignments grid.  You should go to your Assignments Page or Brief Assignments page, click on one of the links to Class Notes (the link is simply entitled "Class Notes"), and select Class Notes Document #6 (just click on the link entitled "#06" from the list you see on the Class Notes page). 

Scroll down through the document until you get to a YouTube link (easily recognized by the fact that its address starts with "http:"  followed by "/youtu.be/" ), click on the link and view a little bit of the file.

These videos are designed for a typical computer screen and some may not be completely readable on hand-held devices.

If you do not have a fast and reliable Internet connection you may find it more convenient to have a copy of the Class Notes with embedded videos on a USB flash memory device, from which you can copy the videos to your hard drive.  This can be provided through the VHCC bookstore at a reasonable cost.

Check out the video for download time and readability.

Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):

 

 

#$&*  (Note that your response was to go into 'the next line'; your response will therefore be inserted before this line, not after.  This is obvious when you're looking at the form, but if you've copied the form into a text editor it might be less obvious.  Hence this note.)

 

Task:  `q002. 

If the videos work and you know how to access them, please indicate this below.  If they don't work, and/or you don't know how to access them, indicate specifically what you have done in your attempt to do so, and what has happened at every step.

Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):

 

 

#$&*  (your response should have gone on the line above this one)

 

Now highlight and copy your document, paste your copy into the box below. 

Double-check to be sure you have accurately filled in the information at the beginning of this form.

Then click on Submit Form. 

It is suggested that you save a copy of your document as a backup.

When you submit this document you will have complete Orientation Step 5.  Your next activity will be Orientation Step 6.
