Dear Early Childhood Education
120 Student,
Welcome to ECE 120 – 73282
Online. This course covers child growth and
development from birth to adolescence. It is 100%
online and there will be no face to face meetings.
In order to take this class,
you must have access to a computer, reliable internet
services and email. All communication is done
through email and discussion boards. You can use
your own computer or you can use the computers on campus
or at local libraries. Keep in mind that you will
need to access your online course at least three to
four times per week to be successful.
If this is your first online
class, you may want to take the self-assessments that
are geared towards helping you to determine if taking a
course online is a right fit for you. You can
access those self-assessments by going to the College of
the Canyon website and clicking on the online button on
the home page. There you will find the links to
those self-assessments, along with some other helpful
information.
You may find the following
links helpful for your success in the course:

This course is using the
Blackboard course management system. You can find
the link on the College of the Canyons home page as
well. The course will be made available on
February 8, 2010 which is the official start date of the
course. You will not be able to access the
course until that date. Make sure to login and
enter the discussion board and read over the syllabus to
ensure that you are enrolled in the class.
Any student who has not logged on the first day the
class begins will be dropped as a No Show.
If you are not officially
enrolled in the class, you need to be on the waitlist
in order to be considered for the course. I will
contact you the first week to let you know if I have any
openings.
The textbook for the course is
Child Development 8th ed., by
Laura Berk. The publisher is Allyn and Bacon.
Should you have any questions,
please email me at
wendy.ruiz@canyons.edu.
I will respond to you within 48 hours.
Sincerely,
Wendy Ruiz |
