Getting Started - START HERE-2

'''

Welcome to Nutrition 101!

This START HERE module has been designed to get you set up for a successful quarter in this fully online/hybrid/web enhanced course. 

This START HERE module looks long but please take a few minutes to browse through its contents.  Some of it will be helpful to you, and some might not be, but it's a quick overview of important information and services you need to be aware of here at Shoreline.  You must view each page in this module and complete the Practice Quiz before Week 1 Module will open for you.

The first important item is the Course Syllabus [link to yours here]  Please read through this document.  It has lots of great information about the course including which textbook to purchase from the campus store (you will need it asap), contact and office hour information for me, grading policy and much more.  Also, the Practice Quiz at the end of this module will cover information included in the syllabus.  This is a required assignment for this course so it is worth your time to read carefully and then take the quiz.  You will have 3 attempts available so if you do not score 100% on the first try, reread the syllabus and try again.

If you are new to Canvas or just have some questions, there are many opportunities to learn more about it both online and Face-to-Face.  

  • eLearning Services has created a resource classroom for students called "Ready for Online Learning"  Here you can take SmarterMeasure, a survey that helps you identify your strengths as an online learner, as well as areas that are opportunities for improvement, plus resources to help you get there.
  • You can also check out this webpage, Canvas Login Information (click here) Links to an external site.. It has a video that shows you how to login to Canvas as well as a link to more short videos on other important areas of Canvas.  (Use your browser's back button to return to this page).  
  • Need HELP! - You can access the 'Help' button found at the end of the menu on the left hand side of your Canvas screen (in the green column). Please contact "Student 24/7 Canvas Support Hotline" at 866-672-2040 or you can start a Live Chat session Links to an external site. here or by clicking on the link for "24/7 Chat with Canvas Support (Student)". 
  • Shoreline has an eLearning Services Office that has great staff ready to help you.  You can call (206) 546-6966, email to elearning@shoreline.edu or just stop by the 1200 Building during regular college business hours.

Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions that you have.  (Include best ways to reach you via canvas inbox or email plus any info about a Discussion Forum for open questions such as "Ask Me," "Ask [Jane]", etc.)

Canvas is set up so that you can move through Modules, rather like turning pages in a book.  To get to the next item in this START HERE Module, scroll down to the bottom of this page and click on the 'Next' icon. 

I'm looking forward to a great quarter!
