Learn online

Taking an online course provides students with flexibility by replacing face-to-face traditional classes with engaging online instructional activities. Online courses require that you work on your own at a computer and do a lot of reading. 为了在在线课程中取得成功，您必须:

• Successfully complete the Moodle Online Orientation course prior to the class start date
• Download and install all necessary software and be willing to watch tutorials if you need help with the software
• 需要时向你的导师寻求帮助
• Regularly log in to the online course and follow the course calendar located in this syllabus
• 充分参与包括播客在内的在线学习活动, homework, discussion forums, and projects
• Ensure that you have a quiet learning space for completing your online work

如果你仍然不确定在线课程是否适合你， 下载并完成一份自我清单.

在线课程将要求学生下载和上传文件, 参与网上论坛, 讨论，参加在线测验和测试. Students should be comfortable using a computer, navigating the Internet and sending/receiving email.

您必须能够使用以下电脑(不是平板电脑):

期末考试在学期的最后一周举行. 它们可以从任何有良好互联网连接的地方拍摄. The exams have a window of time to be taken and you can choose when to take the exam in that window of time. 一旦开始，你只有150分钟的时间来完成考试. 你必须使用一台带有摄像头/麦克风和Chrome浏览器的电脑.

确保考试过程的安全性和完整性, a proctored experience is required for successful completion of a YHC online course. A proctored exam is one in which the student is monitored while taking the exam. 所有YHC在线课程都有期末考试监考. 有些课程可能会有额外的监考考试.

Young Harris College has partnered with Proctorio to provide proctored exams in all YHC online courses. Proctorio is a cloud based system that integrates with the Moodle LMS (Learning Management System). Proctorio authenticates the identity of the test taker and captures the entire exam session which is later reviewed by the instructor.

Students will need a computer with a webcam and microphone (internal or USB), their student ID, 谷歌Chrome浏览器, 和普罗克托里奥延期考试. Proctorio与Kindle Fire或iPad等平板电脑不兼容. 确保满足这些要求是学生的责任.

If you have technical problems with proctoring, check to make sure that you are using the Chrome browser 并安装Proctorio扩展. 如果您继续遇到技术问题, 普罗克托里奥为学生提供全天候技术支持，电话:866-948-2039.  This number should work 24/7 but you may have to leave a message and receive a call back.

Although online courses take a lot of time and work, the time and work can be done on your schedule. If a student has work or family commitments, an online course might be a good fit.

Note: 实时在线课程确实需要你在特定时间登录. 目前这只适用于 教育学硕士. 所有其他的在线课程都可以在你的时间表上完成.

YHC uses Moodle as its main tool for online courses and students will be required to pass a short orientation which will familiarize the student with the activities within Moodle. 在每个YHC在线课程中, the faculty member will be the guide to help the student navigate the course.

一旦注册了你的在线课程, you will receive information about your course materials and how to access the Moodle orientation. 学生应在课程开始日期前完成Moodle培训. 学生可以给老师发邮件询问具体要求.
