FAQs

​

Do I have to login at my scheduled meeting time?

If you are enrolled in a Live Online course, you should log into your course and join the Zoom meeting at your scheduled meeting times.

If you are taking a traditional Online course, you are not required to log into your course at any specific time, though you are still expected to meet all listed deadlines.

​

I am registered for a course, why isn't it showing up in eLearning?​

Make sure to check your schedule as courses are not available to students until the first day of a given term (however, some instructors choose to open their course early). That means you probably will not see your course listed until the start of your term.

If you just registered just be aware that there is a slight delay between registering for a course and seeing it in eLearning.

Of course if you have any other issues, please contact our eLearning Support at Gloucester or eLearning Support at Cumberland.

Tips for Learning Online

icon 

Optimize Your Computer

Have Strong Internet

Zoom, just like other videoconferencing tools, requires a high-speed internet connection to function well. Be wired when you can and minimize the number of other wireless connections when you can't be wired.

icon 

Optimize Your Setting

Find a Quiet Place

Learning is best when you have a setting where you can focus. Try finding a place that is free of distractions/excess noise, and offers privacy. You'll be able to focus more during lectures.

icon 

Dress The Part

Dress Appropriately

Even though your Live Online course might be virtual, it helps to look the part. Your instructor may ask you to have your camera on. Plus, studies suggest dressing the part makes you concentrate too!

icon 

Stay Social

Turn on your Webcam

We get it—everyone's a little camera shy sometimes, at least to start; however, having your camera on and seeing your peers is one way to help bridge the "distance" of a Live Online course.

Not Talking? Hit Mute

Don't forget to mute yourself if you're not talking. You'd be surprised how much background noise a microphone picks up—dogs barking, cars, planes, or even keyboard clicks.

Get the Best Experience

Avoid Calling In

Internet connections can act up and while you have the option to dial in, your experience is best on a computer or phone/tablet running Zoom. Plus, a discussion is often difficult because of call-in audio delays.

icon 

Stay Engaged

Be an Active Participant

Live Online mimics the classroom. Speak up by unmuting and adding to the current conversation, use chat to add something without interrupting, and raise your hand with the "Raise Hand" button in Zoom.
