Today we logged into the blackboard site and read through what we are supposed to do for the first week. We learned how to create a blog and how to capture a screen. I also learned that each part of the assignments is worth a lot of our overall mark.
In week one‘s lecture we had an introduction to the whole course. The lecturer talks to us about our behavior during lectures and tutorials. Also during the lecture the lecturer showed few slides on how to view assignments, how to use online blackboard and other online facilities such as web mail. Also there was a brief description on the types of activities that are going to occur during the tutorial of week one such setting up the blogger and image shack.
