Online Learning Tips:
- Log-in frequently. Students are responsible for participating in course activities, including required Forums (threaded discussions),and should log-in to the system multiple times per week (or as required by your courses). For clarification on individual course requirements, contact the faculty.
- Change your password. To ensure confidentiality of your grades, change your password upon logging into the system. To do so, hover over the Personal tab and click “About”. Change your password in the two password fields, then, to save your changes, click “Submit” at the bottom of the page.
- Read. Make sure to read the instructions for each activity. Follow help-manuals and tips. Note that on the WebStudy homepage there is a Success Tips link. Refer to this link and RMUoHP’s tutorial for assistance.
- Review assignment feedback from separate files. If you have been informed your faculty has provided assignment feedback in a separate document and you don’t see it under your assignment grade, find that feedback by clicking on the appropriate assignment title on the Timeline tab and then downloading the attached feedback file.
- Take tests carefully. When taking tests, do NOT close your web browser until you have submitted your test. Also, double-check your responses before submission. It is easy for laptop users to accidentally click on the sensitive touchpad and change the answer inadvertently.
