About the Virtual
Orientations:
If you are interested in getting more information about online
classes, but cannot make it to one of the campus sessions, you may
want to take part in a virtual orientation session.
The virtual sessions will be held inside
the Desire2Learn learning management system and will be conducted
using Wimba's Live Classroom (similar to instant messaging with
video and voice). A facilitator will be present at the times listed
above to answer questions and moderate the sessions. Use the steps
listed below to access the session you are interested in attending.
