Welcome to Targeted Investigations in Environmental Science! T.I.E.S is designed primarily to be used online. The initial set-up and communication may be done through a list-serve or a course management program such as WebCT. In T.I.E.S, WebCT is used because it offers a simple course management program with a range of features like a class calendar, an online discussion for asynchronous conversation among participants, and real-time chat rooms. Discussions may be easily catalogued. Instructors may post assignments and students can submit them online. See Ramapo College of New Jersey's TEC support for further information Once participants are familiar with a course management program, the real fun begins! T.I.E.S. participants are first introduced to one another online. This Welcome Activity allows students to become comfortable with using the course management program, do some online research, and get to know one another. Each participant is assigned to a specific team within an Environmental Consulting Company. In your welcome letter you were given a Company name and Team name. Team members have specific expertise that they will share with their Company. Then your Company will decide, as a group, what information will be presented. For the Welcome Activity, introduce yourself to the whole Company. If you have any questions, at any time, please email your Company CEO and/or President. First log on to WebCT and join your Consulting Company. In the Company Directory you will see your company. Please click on your company and read the Participant Package and Newsletter #1. Second, you may go to the T.I.E.S. website http://www.rst2.edu/ties and begin learning about your webquest. Logging into WebCT and adding your Consulting company:
Your CEO and President will give you another key combination, a login and password to open the door to a particular class - TIES. When you Add courses, you enter the login and password your instructor assigned, and you will be admitted to the course within WebCT. You use this key only once--the first time you add a course and log into it. LOG INTO WEBCT THE
