Back at it! :)

Lots going on as we start the new year and the new courses! We have a new Learning Management System called Desire2Learn or D2L for short. This first week the eInstructors are taking sometime to get everyone comfortable with the basics before we jump into the course material fully. I want to encourage everyone that we will get through the change together :) We just ask for patience and that when you have trouble you ask for help from ourselves or our wonderful Tech Support staff. This week some members of Tech Support have graciously offered to stay later so that they can be of help to you. I do strongly recommend that you check out D2L and make sure you can log in BEFORE it’s time to log in for your regular class. This way if there are issues, they can be dealt with before you need to be in class.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas Holiday and New Year’s! We really enjoyed the time to just relax and hang out. We spent some time with family playing games, eating too much, and watching Christmas movies. We had plans to get the nursery set up but the furthest we got with that  was emptying out the room that used to be my office.

For those that did not know yet, I am 30 weeks pregnant and heading on Mat Leave in two months. This means that I the lucky students of the Early Learning and Child Care programs are going to be instructed by Kasey Fulton and Courtney Nicolson. Until I go on leave I will be working on courses for you and hanging out in your classes, so feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns.  I will do my best to help out :)

Looking forward to touching base with all of you and hearing about your Christmas holidays!

All the Best in 2010!
