Practice Class Session

One week before your first scheduled session/course meeting (at same time and on the same evening - unless otherwise directed), you will be required to attend a practice (Elluminate) synchronous session. We will utilize the same technology for this practice session as we do for all synchronous class sessions. You will receive an email message with the time that you should log in so that you can test your computer’s configuration and learn about important system features. This practice time will also provide us with the opportunity to meet each other. Refer to Section 4 (Course Overview) for the practice session schedule.

The technical support team will be available to help you during the online orientation:

Should you experience technical difficulties while trying to access the practice class, contact the LDL Tech Support Team immediately.
