  2. The E 4 ME technologyGail supportPeters person will post a welcome message on the Discussion Board. The posting will be listed under a topic titled Technical Support. The following is an example of the e-mail message.
  3. Students will receive an automated Welcome Letter the day before the course begins. The following is a copy of the automated letter.
  4. Students should be encouraged to view the orientation video discussing course navigation prior to beginning the course. The remaining orientation videos: use of mail, the discussion board, quizzes and surveys, and browser settings can be viewed optionally if students feel the videos are needed.

  5. Those who complete the entire course successfully will receive a certificate of completion.
