 Course Compass:
 
Several online and hybrid courses use the Course Management System, CourseCompass. At this time College of the Canyons does not support CourseCompass with tech support. If you have a problem with the program or your activation code, please contact your instructor directly. The distance learning department cannot help you.

Music Course Information
 
Music 105 and Music 112 do not use the Blackboard Course Management System.
These courses use a product by iCubed. You need the CD-ROM called On Music Appreciation, by Connect for Education, for the on-line class. The ISBN Number for the 2nd Edition is: 007 721271-1.   Make sure you buy the 2nd Edition. 

The CD-ROM includes all the material you will need and it contains the equivalent of thirty CDs worth of music from the Naxos Catalogue, 188 graphics and 10 Quick time movies.  Do not buy a second hand CD-ROM because each one gets assigned a unique number that links up with your grades.  You can get this CD-ROM at the COC bookstore.   Please try to buy it by the time your class begins. 

Inside the CD-ROM box that you buy there should be a printed page with detailed instructions on how to login and register your CD-ROM.   Read the instructions and follow them carefully.  Logging in and getting your computer to play the music extracts is frequently the biggest hurdle of the course.    (Note: make sure you register for the correct course (OMA) and no other. 

Here is a link that might help you if you need more information than the one provided by the printed sheet inside the CD-ROM box:
