4: Course Overview
Course Structure
Courses offered by Education Online are composed of asynchronous sessions (Moodle) and synchronous sessions (Elluminate). Education Online courses are 100% online; there are no face-to-face sessions.
Classes meet synchronously once, or occasionally twice a week during the term.
Live practice sessions are held one week before your first scheduled session (unless otherwise specified, see details below), in the Elluminate synchronous space.
Please refer to the following information for your course schedule and contact your instructor if you need detailed information about your course.

Practice Class Session
One week before your first scheduled session/course meeting (at same time and on the same evening), 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.
The technical support team will be available to help you during the online orientation:
- Use AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Our screen name is: LDL Tech Help .
- Dial our toll free number: 1-800-252-1360 extension 4-3368
- Our tech help email: educationonline@education.illinois.edu
Should you experience technical difficulties while trying to access the practice class, contact the LDL Tech Support Team immediately. During the session, you will have the opportunity to test the software used for your course. You will also get a chance to meet fellow students and some of the LDL Staff. Access is gained through the "Elluminate" link from within your online (Moodle) course.
Note: The technical support team is here to help you with any technical problems you may encounter with the programs and software we recommend on our Student Software Site. We cannot support software that is not listed on our site.
