My Personal Welcome
Howdy you all! Welcome to Canvas—I’m delighted that you have chosen to use EagleOnline in your courses!

The fastest way to reach me is by my HCC email.

My goal is for you to walk out of the course with a better understanding of interactive online student engagement.

Instructor’s Practices and Procedures

Instructional Methods
As facilitators, we feel that it is our responsibility to provide you with knowledge concerning the use of pediatrics growth and development that allows you to connect the information that you learn in this course to the real world.

It is your responsibility to read the notes and handouts or watch the videos, submit assignments in a timely manner, review for the assessments, participate in online discussions, collegially complete online activities, login and check announcements each week, and enjoy yourself while experiencing the new LMS.

As we believe that engaging in hands-on learning is essential for teaching online to be effective, you will spend the majority of class time involved in performance activities. Each module will become available upon completion of the prerequisites and requirements. You will be given instructions and opportunities to try hands-on activities as well as be involved in discussions with your fellow faculty and your facilitators. As you will want to contribute to discussions, you will need to enter discussions and activities prepared to discuss, analyze, and evaluate information from your course materials and other faculty’s discussions posts.
