 |
| Can I still register for a class
after the "start date"? |
| All courses are independent study and self-paced.
This means you can still register for a course after the "start date" as long
as you complete the coursework by the course deadline. Registration deadlines
are posted on the Registration page. |
 |
| Do I need to be computer savvy to
take an online course? |
| If you know how to get online, send an e-mail and
word process, you'll do well in an IT4Educators course. Instructions
to get you started are e-mailed out to you before the course begins. All
enrolled participants are supplied a login and password to Atomic Learning and
Moodle. These programs give enrolled teachers access to online tutorials
and an anytime, anywhere learning environment. |
 |
| How does an online course work? |
| Online courses are great for self-motivated
learners who want to take a course without spending physical time in a
classroom. The user logs in to a website (IT4Educators uses a program called
Moodle) where the syllabus, the online weblinks, discussion board (to
communicate with other classmates) and even a gradebook await them. Users do
all work online and then submit assignments digitally in a Digital Dropbox.
(This is very similar to adding an attachment to an e-mail.) All the "how-to's"
and instructions are posted for direction and the instructor is always a phone
call or an e-mail away if you need assistance. |
 |
| Will these courses count towards a
lane change? |
| IT4Educators partners with the University of St.
Thomas, North Dakota State University and Chapman University College to bring you Graduate Continuing Education semester credit
courses that meet requirements for license renewal and may be used for lane
changes when prior approval has been obtained by the student from his or her
district/employment personnel office. |
 |
| Can I transfer these credits into a
Graduate Degree program? |
| Any student seeking to transfer graduate
continuing education credits into a graduate program at another institution is
advised to obtain prior approval from the academic adviser and dean at that
institution. |
 |
| What if I need technical assistance
during the course? |
| IT4Educators is dedicated to customer
service. We are interested in your questions and feedback, and will
respond to your inquiries within 48 hours either by providing online assistance
or by telephone. |
 |
| Who is IT4Educators? |
| We are a group of Technology Integration
Teachers interested in sharing technology through curriculum based, online
courses. If you have an idea for a course that would benefit you in your
classroom, please contact
us. |
 |
| How do I receive a transcript from
the University of St. Thomas? |
Grades are turned in weekly to the University of
St. Thomas. Once grades are turned in, St. Thomas will mail out a grade
report to your home. Once you receive this grade report, you can then
request a transcript from the University of St. Thomas. If you have a
specific deadline, please communicate your necessary completion date to
IT4Educators and we will try to accommodate requests.

| How do I receive a transcript from
Chapman University College? |
Grades are turned in weekly to Chapman University College. A grade report (not an
official transcript) will be sent to you, automatically, within approximately three
to four weeks after a grade has been submitted with Chapman University College, notifying
you that your grade has been posted. After receiving your grade report, you may
then request an official transcript that will include the graded courses for which
you have been notified.

NOTE - Do Not Order
Your Transcript Until You Have Received an Official Chapman University College Grade
Report.

| How do I sign up for a course? |
| Click on the Mail-in Registration/Payment Form
links on the Registration page. Print
out this form and mail it in with your payment. Once we receive your
registration, you will receive an e-mail receipt and welcome letter explaining
your introduction to the course. |
 |
| Can I communicate with other
participants while taking a course? |
| All enrolled participants are supplied a login
and password to Moodle. Moodle has an area where participants will
answer posted questions and they can communicate with each other if they are
interested. |
 |
| Can I turn in coursework early? |
| All work is graded in a timely fashion and
returned to participants in an online drop box or by e-mail. Participants
can complete the course in two weeks or in 14 weeks, as long as work is
submitted by the final grading deadline. |
