Welcome
Welcome to Inside the Recording
Industry. This homepage will be updated periodically with information
to help you through the course, but most of the tips and instructions
are found on other pages.
We will be using D2L for your quizzes, scavenger hunts, personal web
pages, chats, message boards and other academic purposes.
Final Exam
For
Spring 2010, your final exam is
Friday, April
30 from 10-12 in room
BAS S137E.
You must show up that day
or make arrangements through the
MTSU distance learning office for alternative times and places. Study guides will be available online 5 days before the
exam.
Getting Started
To get started,
click on the course introduction button. Once you've already been
oriented, you can go directly to the course modules button to get your
assignments. Sometimes
the system does not automatically grade your quiz or scavenger hunt
and it becomes necessary for the instructor to enter the system and
run the grade function. Do not panic if
yours happens to be one of those, but it wouldn't hurt to notify the
teacher.

Important
notice: The Inside Sessions videos are now available online
in the D2L section of this course under the content
tab. |

Using the system
Pipeline is set to timeout after 30 minutes and that has
caused some students to be kicked off the system while they are taking
a quiz. To override this, go to the Pipeline page and in the upper
left corner, click on "my account." Then change the timeout
value from 30 minutes to 90 minutes--or better yet, use this gateway:
http://elearn.mtsu.edu.
All quizzes, scavenger hunts and other interactive assignments will
be done through D2L. But you should bookmark the Course Modules page for quick
reference.
Contacting
your professor
Tips for sending me
email: Do
 not send email through the internal D2L
class . Instead, send it to my regular email address at thutchis@mtsu.edu.
The internal mail system does not notify us that we have mail unless
we click through a dozen pages to get to it. If you send it directly
to our MTSU mailbox, it shows
up on the instructor's desktop right away.
Be sure to
put something relevant in the subject line, and if we have a
discussion going back and forth, copy the thread of previous emails.
