D.  In part D you will use the Submit Work Form to document what you have done so far.

In this course routine communication will be by form and posting to your Access Site.  Unless you submit it, confidential information such as your name and EMPLID# will not be posted at the Access Site. 

All routine communication will be by forms, with responses posted to your access site.

You will include identifying information in the places requested on the form.  This identifying information will not be posted at the access page; identifying information is used only to be sure your work is posted to the appropriate access site.   Unless you also include identifying information within the document you submit, your posting will be anonymous.  The name, code and email address you provide in response to the form's requests will not be posted.  

If the instructor's reply includes confidential information, that information will not be posted but will either be sent via email or posted in the (confidential) Blackboard Grade Center (more about the Grade Center later).

Please follow the instructions below to confirm that you understand what you have done and what you have seen so far:

1.  Using a text editor (such as Notepad or the equivalent) type a sentence or a short paragraph indicating what you have done so far, and what information you hope to find in the remainder of this introduction to the course.

If you aren't sure what a text editor is, type your response into some sort of a word processor, and add a sentence indicating what word processor you are using.

2.  Add a sentence to your document indicating what operating system(s) and what device(s) you expect to use for this course (your operating system might be Windows, and Apple product, Linux, etc.; examples of devices would be PC's, IPad's, smartPhones).

3.  Click on the link Submit Work Form .  The form is self-explanatory, so you probably don't need the explanation below, but here it is just in case:

• The form will ask you to fill out identifying information (being sure you include your correct VCCS email address; if you just filled out the Access Code Request you probably won't yet have received your code, and until you do you will leave that space blank). 

• Be sure you have filled in the 'title' box.  The document you submit will be posted to your Access Site under the title you provide.  Any title is fine, as long as you can identify the document based on the title you provide.

• At the end of the form you will find a box into which to paste a copy of your document. 

• Below that box you will see the Submit button.  Click and make sure you receive a confirmation, which should pop up within a few seconds.

• Your instructor will post a response to your Access Page, usually within 24 hours but nearly always by the end of the day following your submission.  This timetable will usually be followed throughout the course, including weekends.  If the instructor's response is not posted by the end of the following day, be sure to notify him.
