Participation - World Wide Web Protocols
By registering for a Web-based course, you have made a commitment to participate
in your course conferences as well as other online activities. To contact
your instructor, use the conferencing software or e-mail links provided,

in a virtual classroom 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please plan to participate

participation counts towards your final grade.
You are expected to adhere to the
