After you’ve registered for your courses, log into your online classroom as soon as your able. Try to familiarize yourself with the technology and how the available resources are organized. The last thing you want is to be caught off guard when you’re trying to upload your assignment against a tight deadline.
The best way to get the lay of the land is by touring the primary page which comes up after logging in. In most learning management systems, the first page, or homepage, contains access to the live online classrooms, course assignments, asynchronous lectures, library resources, learning materials (such as electronic readings), and learning classroom support services (such as academic advising).

Discussion boards, direct e-mail between students and professor, and web-enabled “student lounges” are important tools in learning online. Other tools include access to deep research through online libraries, and software developed for online learning, or created for just one school.
