Instructors will provide contact information on the course syllabus. Primary communication will through Moodle, our Learning Management System and email.

Most interaction with your Fieldwork Mentor will be through our learning Management System (moodle), email, phone and or video conference (Skype, Facetime, Go2Meeting..ect).

Tests and exams will be provided through our Learning Management System (Moodle). A proctor (scheduled lab or location) will not be required.

During the term, instructor will provide a Moodle link that will be the vehicle through which you will submit assignments.

If there are issues between you and your Fieldwork Mentor, NWEEI needs to be advised so we can immediately address the problem.

If you miss a course, you will need to wait until the course is offered again the following year. If you fail a course, you'll need to retake the class.

If issues arise between you and your Fieldwork Mentor, NWEEI needs to be advised so we can immediately work on the problem. If there is no resolution, NWEEI will find you another Fieldwork Mentor.

Taking an online class first and foremost means having a consistently reliable internet access. A home connection isn't required but is encouraged since many courses will use materials that will not be able to be downloaded for offline playback. Much of the content presented in our Learning Management System (LMS) will be designed with mobile users (cellphone & tablet) in mind.

However, it is highly recommended students own or have regular use of a desktop or laptop that's no more then 5 years old.

Our reasoning is:

\r\n
1. You will need to run a modern web browser
\r\n
2. You will be asked to create spreadsheets and documents that will require the use of a keyboard and mouse
\r\n
3. In working with multiple documents, it may be beneficial to do so with devices that can accommodate larger screen resolutions
\r\n
4. Our LMS (Moodle) operates most efficiently on desktops & laptops.
\r\n
5. You may be asked to install a software tool. Most efficiency tools are still being developed for traditional operating systems.

By enrolling in a class at Lane Community College, all students are protected by the College's liability insurance. However, because this program is a unique combination of online and fieldwork outside a physical campus, it's a bit more complicated to explain. Rest assured, we have worked with both legal council and our Fieldwork Mentors to construct documentation that provides the assurance that student safety is considered. Proof of coverage is available upon request.

We want to see our students succeed – Period! We fully expect that you will make every effort to work with your Fieldwork Mentor such that you'll be able to complete the assignment by the end of the due date and or Term. However, we realize that final projects and unforeseen life events can derail those efforts. It will be up to you (the student) to communicate and make arrangements with your online instructor to extend any due date especially if the new due date expands beyond the end of the term.
