questions, weʼve added 2 live webcasts.

Additionally , you will be supported throughout
your tenure personally by a great team of people.

(Chad) [Slide 5] You will receive continuing communications
from Florida Tech University and University Alliance over the
next several weeks. Included will be your an email from Florida
Tech containing your TRACKS ID and an email from University
Alliance containing your user name and password for accessing
Florida Tech University Online. We endeavor to open all
courses, all sections, approximately 2 weeks before the start of
the term.
To begin, simply log in to “floridatechonline.com” and select
“Classroom Login”.
(Landing page)
Select your program from the dropdown and enter your
username and password.
Notice that from this login page, there is an option to recover
your password should you need to. Again, select your
applicable program and enter you email address. Your
password will be reset and an email with that new password will be sent to that email address.

 Orientation1Outline7-29
(Chad) [Slide 6] Once logged in to the system, youʼll land
on the User Home page. Itʼs here that youʼll find helpful
support to get you started and access the courses you are
teaching. First, notice the 3 Welcome Steps. Step One is
our online guide.
Step Two is an online browser checker. Clicking the link will
launch an internal program that verifies you have the
necessary tools to participate in our online courses. As you
can see, the page is very user-friendly. Green suggests
pass while red alerts you to a possible issue and resolution.
Click User Home to return to the main page. Step 3
prompts your to select your current course(s). Weʼll look at
a demo course to give you an idea of the look and feel in
just a minute.
Faculty Orientation I “High Tech With A Human Touch”
Page 6/19
 Orientation1Outline7-29
(Chad) [Slide 7] Letʼs take a moment to explore other User
options. Under the User Home option you find Account
Information. Here you can change your password, enter your
biography to be shared to your students through your
courses, and hide the Welcome steps we just looked at.
Additionally, the last box enables you to receive an email
notification to your floridatech.edu account for new
messages received here in the course email system.
Course History is your access to those classes youʼve
already taught. Your entire virtual classroom is available
here to refer to after the course ends.
Webliography – Allows you to enter new URL addresses for
personal collections of useful websites while connected
through the site.
Archives – will soon be removed from view but the closed
course information will still be available through Course
History.
Weʼll look at the Resources tab from our Course Home page
in just a moment.
Finally, watch for important alerts and reminders in School News. School News is used to communicate important
messages to all students and faculty members.

LMS - designed and established
Weekly class outline
Outcomes
Reading assignments
Quiz/tests
Lectures - CD, streaming, mp3
To enter your virtual classroom, click the hyperlinked
course name. Notice that student access is highlighted
in red. Itʼs important to note that accessing your
classrooms in this manner is only available through the
date and time posted here. After that expiration,
professors may access the course through Course
History but students will not have access to the
classroom. Both professors and students will have
email access for 1 week after the end of the current
term.
Once logged into your course, youʼll see the Weekly
Class Outline has been completed and posted, highlighting the outcomes on a week by week basis. This has been
designed as a ʻflexibleʼ instructor-led program – understanding that our students are often involved in work, family, and
life in general and donʼt necessarily have a fixed study time.
Use the dropdown box to toggle between all 8 weeks.
Class News – is an area that you can use to highlight special announcements or messages to your students specific to
the current week. This is the first area that students see upon logging into your courses. Announcements are most
effective here, also guidance and directions to your students.
Each weekʼs ʻClass Newsʼ is a separate area – and within each ʻClass Newsʼ you may change font color, size, or use
different fonts to separate items.
Now Chad will cover the all important course communication tools. chat, messages (discussion), e-mail
Faculty Orientation I “High Tech With A Human Touch”
Page 8/19
 Orientation1Outline7-29
(Chad) [Slide 9] In addition to Class News, there are 3
additional methods for communicating to your students –
Message Boards, Online Chat, and Class Roster/Email.
Message Boards - are standard discussion boards with
basic functionality.
Online Chat – is a basic chat room available to professors
and students 24/7. Itʼs also the forum to host office
hours. We encourage class chat to build community in a
timely communicative setting.
Class Roster/Course Email – are tied together – is an
internal messaging application. Thatʼs great news for you
because it means NO SPAM!
Florida Tech encourages you to keep abreast of
communications going on within your course. If you are
going to be unavailable for a period of time greater than
48 hours, be sure to contact your program chair for other
arrangements.

Course Admin - collection of major course tools
•Course Calendar
•Syllabi
•Testing & Grading
•Office hours - by request
•Login Report - original student external e-mail (smtp)
Select on the heading – “Course Admin” and you will see
displayed the whole set of instructor tools and content
areas in the LMS.
(read slide… at Chat/Office Hour Reminders add this:
Again, we encourage the use of the Online Chat Room
to communicate with your students in real time, to
include hosting your office hours. Florida Tech specifies
for most courses 2 hours per week of chat availability
with your students.
I urge you to utilize full class chats when possible in
order to further promote community and class peer group
as more immediate form of communication. You may indicate a particular time or simply note “by appointment”.

Outcomes expected
Smarthinking link
(G) [Slide 11] Testing and Grading –
Grade Book - The first option for entering grades in through
the Grade Book, an online version of a very traditional grade
book. More great news - your Grade Book will be completed
in accordance of your course syllabus – graded assignments
requiring manual entry will be highlighted blue and non-
essay and automatically scored online exams and quizzes
will be shown in marigold!
The Grade Book allows you to provide immediate feedback
to your students on their specific graded assignments t
through the Feedback feature. The feedback is viewable
between yourself and the student for the gradable item.
Assignment List – allows you to review an individual
assignment and then enter all corresponding student grades
for that assignment.
Enter Final Grades – Florida Tech University requires you to
instead enter the studentsʼ official letter grades into the
schoolʼs system, what is referred to as the PAWS.
Review/Grade Online Tests – is the administrative tool for the courseʼs online tests. Itʼs here that you will have the ability
to extend time to a student to complete a test, to reset tests, and to view components of the test and statistics of the
ones completed. Thereʼs a further explanation and demonstration of these features in the Orientation CD and Faculty
Lounge resources.

Notice that student access is highlighted in red. Itʼs important to note that accessing your classrooms in this manner is only available through the date and time posted here. After that expiration, professors may access the course through Course History but students will not have access to the classroom. Both professors and students will have email access for 1 week after the end of the current term. Once logged into your course, youʼll see the Weekly Class Outline has been completed and posted, highlighting the outcomes on a week by week basis. This has been designed as a ʻflexibleʼ instructor-led program – understanding that our students are often involved in work, family, and life in general and donʼt necessarily have a fixed study time. Use the dropdown box to toggle between all 8 weeks. Class News – is an area that you can use to highlight special announcements or messages to your students specific to the current week. This is the first area that students see upon logging into your courses. Announcements are most effective here, also guidance and directions to your students. Each weekʼs ʻClass Newsʼ is a separate area – and within each ʻClass Newsʼ you may change font color, size, or use different fonts to separate items. Now Chad will cover the all important course communication tools. chat, messages (discussion), e-mail Faculty Orientation I “High Tech With A Human Touch” Page 8/19 Orientation1Outline7-29

Message Boards - are standard discussion boards with basic functionality. Online Chat – is a basic chat room available to professors and students 24/7. Itʼs also the forum to host office hours. We encourage class chat to build community in a timely communicative setting. Class Roster/Course Email – are tied together – is an internal messaging application.
