Application,
Registration, and Getting Started Information
Application:
To become involved in the program, you need to --
- Contact the Program Coordinator -- Joni Dunlap Joni.Dunlap@cudenver.edu
-- and ask her to add you to the up-coming program list (a limited
number
of
people can join the program, so getting on Joni's list is very
important).
- Submit a non-degree seeking
student application
with $25 -- you can download a pdf version of the application from
http://www.cudenver.edu/Admissions/Non-Degree+Admissions/default.htm.
Registration:
Joni
will forward to you the call number for each course (when it is time to
register
for each course) once you notify her of your intention to start the
program.
Getting Started -- What you will need to participate:
- Commitment. This is a challenging, intensive program.
You will need to manage your time and stay on task. People who
are
new to learning online should expect to find the first few weeks
somewhat
challenging, as they are simultaneously learning content and how to be
a
successful online learner. These skills will quickly become
intertwined
and invaluable.
- Initiative and responsibility. Student-centered
learning places more responsibility on your shoulders. You are
going to be able to tie your work into projects -- but that means you
have to come up with those ideas.
- Willingness to collaborate and participate regularly. This
is not a correspondence program. Students are online
communicating
and collaborating with others in the program on a daily basis.
Although there is room for some flexibility (for those who travel, for
example), students are expected to engage in learner-to-instructor and
learner-to-learner interaction frequently and consistently.
- Software and books. We will not be providing software
or books -- you will be responsible for acquiring these materials for
yourself.
- All of the courses in the WLE certificate program are
conducted online. Therefore, good computer equipment and an Internet
Service Provider (ISP) with access to the Web, preferably at home and
at work, is required for participation. We recommend that you
have the following minimum requirements:
For Windows --
- 600 MHz Intel Pentium III processor or equivalent
- Windows 98 SE (4.10.2222 A), Windows 2000, or Windows XP
- 256 MB RAM (512 MB recommended)
- 800 MB available disk space
- 500 MHz PowerPC G3 processor
- Mac OS X 10.2.6 and later, 10.3
- 256 MB RAM (512 MB recommended)
- 500 MB available disk space
