e-Activity Search the Internet for at least six signs (icons), determine
the meaning of the signs (icons), evaluate their effectiveness, and then organize
your findings in a matrix with three columns and six rows. Put the matrix in
an Excel spreadsheet. Put these headings on the columns: (A) Sign, (B)
Meaning, and (C) Effectiveness. Put the six signs (icons) in separate rows in
the first column (may title the icon or describe it if you do not have the
graphic). In the second column, state the meaning of the sign (icon). Then,
in the third column, evaluate the effectiveness of the sign (icon). (Note: Since e-Learning is available
to various places and cultures in the global community, carefully designing a
Web-based learning environment that recognizes cultural differences is
important. Because signs can be misread, the concept of signs as they relate
to different cultures could have a tremendous impact on using technology as
e-learners gain access to expanded communities of learning.) For example, a
parachute icon used in a piece of computer software as a “bail out” was
changed by the software’s creators because it was not inherently understood
as a “bail out” or “quit” by all users. Be prepared to discuss.

purpose of the course schedule is to give you, at a glance, the required
preparation, activities, and evaluation components of your course. For more
information about your course, whether on-ground or online, access your online
course shell.
The
expectations for a 4.5 credit hour course are for students to spend 13.5 hours
in weekly work. This time estimate includes preparation, activities, and
evaluation regardless of the delivery mode.
Instructional Materials
In
order to be fully prepared, obtain a copy of the required textbooks and other
instructional materials prior to the first day of class. When available,
Strayer University provides a link to the first three (3) chapters of your
textbook(s) in eBook format. Check your online course shell for availability.
Review
the online course shell or check with your professor to determine whether
Internet-based assignments and activities are used in this course.
Strayer
students are encouraged to purchase their course materials through our designated
Strayer Bookstore. http://www.strayerbookstore.com If a lab is
required for the course, the Strayer Bookstore is the only vendor that sells
the correct registration code so that Strayer students may access labs
successfully.
Discussions
To
earn full credit in an online threaded discussion, students must have one
original post and a minimum of one other post per discussion thread.
Please
note: Material in the online class will be made available on the previous
Thursday. As it is always possible that students could lose their work due to
unforeseen circumstances, it is a best practice to routinely save a working
draft in a separate file before posting in the course discussion area.
Professors hold discussions during class time for on-ground students. Check
with your professor if any additional discussion participation is required in
the online course shell outside of class hours.
Assignments
A
standardized performance grading rubric is a tool your professor will use to
evaluate your written assignments. Review the rubric before submitting
assignments that have grading rubrics associated with them to ensure you have
met the performance criteria stated on the rubric.
Grades
are based on individual effort. There is no group grading; however, working in
groups in the online or on-ground classroom is acceptable.
Assignments
for online students are always submitted through the online course shell. On-ground
professors will inform students on how to submit assignments, whether in paper
format or through the online course shell.
Resources
The
Resource Center navigation button in the online course shell contains helpful
links. Strayer University Library Resources are available here as well as other
important information. You should review this area to find resources and
answers to common questions.
