INCLUDE THESE THREE LINES WHEN YOU COMMUNICATE BY EMAIL: Most of your communication with the instructor will be through forms, so after the first week or so you will not use email much. However you will use email for certain privacy-protected communications. With every email you send your instructor, you need to include a copy of these three lines, and when you do you will fill in your name and a title for your message.

You will also need to include a title with the work you submit through Submit Work forms and certain other forms. These titles will appear as the names of the links on your access page, and will therefore be useful to you in locating and identifying your work.

INCLUDE THE ACCESS CODE WHEN YOU SUBMIT WORK THROUGH A FORM: When submitting work using a form (this is a simple process; directions will be provided later), you will be asked for your access code. Copy the access code and paste it into the access code box on the form. Do not type in your access code; errors in access codes cause serious problems with the posting of work.

The only way to be sure you have used the correct access information is to copy and paste it.

GIVE YOUR NAME WHEN PROMPTED AND ONLY WHEN PROMPTED: You will also be prompted to give your name. Do so in the boxes which ask you for your name, and do not otherwise include your name or any other identifying information in your document.

GIVE A TITLE, AVOIDING CHARACTERS NOT LEGAL FOR FILENAMES: Fill in the title: line with the title under which you will later locate the instructor's response.

In your title use only characters legal for the naming of files (no parentheses, commas, periods, #, &, @ symbols or anything of that sort, though dashes - and underline symbols _ are legal).

**************************************************************

You will use these access numbers as follows to access your instructor's responses to your work:

1. To avoid someone else obtaining your access code and possibly viewing instructor responses to your work, do not access your information at a time and location where another user might view the screen, and be sure to close the Internet browser window when you have finished. If it is not possible for you to view your information with an acceptable level of privacy, please inform the instructor and other arrangments will be made.

2. Go to the http://vhmthphy.vhcc.edu site.

3. Click on General Information (the first button on the page).

4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Access to Your Information. A menu file will appear with 100 choices.

5. Click on the number 20 (the first two digits of your access code). A new menu file will appear. As an extra security measure, this menu will be mislabeled 'Level I Menu' and will look exactly the same as the first. Despite its labeling, it is actually a Level II menu.

6. Click on the number 23 (the middle two digits of your access code). A third menu file, more extensive than the other two, will appear.

7. Click on the number 234 (the last three digits of your access code).

This should bring you to a file which starts with the words 'Your Menu'. Beneath the menu you will find a link to a welcome message, and possibly other links.

If you click on the Welcome message, nothing will happen. However, when you begin to submit content assignments the instructor's responses will be posted at this site, and links will appear below the Welcome message.

Follow these instructions as soon as possible, and let the instructor know if any error occurs or if you have difficulty with the instructions. If so tell the instructor, keystroke by keystroke, what you did and how your computer responded. This will give the instructor the information necessary to either correct the error or to clarify the instructions for you.

You should not include your name in any line except the 'name:' line of an email, or the name you enter into the 'name:' box of the form. This information will be visible to the instructor, but will not appear at your access page. 05-19-2007 00:26:08 Coded lines searched and replaced
