The Interaction Center is where your online classrooms are located. Your lecturer may ask you to participate in forums, use a reflective journal or upload certain files. You will find links to these on the left-hand side of the relevant subject area.
The forums
are public discussion areas for each subject. They will have topics - and
you are expected to contribute a reply/replies to the question being asked.
They
are like a notice board at the school cafeteria where people put up something
and someone adds a note down the bottom and on it goes. You log on, read the
comments that are there, then add your own. The other person does not have
to be there at the time, they will log on later and reply to you.
The whole class can read the forum and so it becomes a place for Christian
discussion and debate (in a spirit of mutual edification). Personal attacks
('flames") are not allowed.
The reflective journals are for your personal reflection on the course material. Only you and the lecturer get to see what is written there. You can freely express yourself.
The files area is where you can share relevant files for the class.Some lecturers may ask you to do research and upload the results for the whole class to use. In that case use the files area. Please virus check all files before uploading. NB: Copyright material, music files and potentially dangerous files such as exe files and pif files are not allowed to be uploaded to the files area.
The Drop-Box is where you upload the assessment for that subject.
