What's Next? Checklist

After students register for courses:

  1. Your school's DLD Registrar will give students login information for their DLD email accounts (hosted by www.gaggle.net). You can access your email within 24 hours of registration. Students should check their DLD email account on the course start date for a "welcome" email and other important information.
  2. The DLD Registrar will let students know who their Teacher/Mentor will be. The Registrar will also inform students about how and when to access their online courses during the school day. Students should make note of when their online courses begin.
  3. Any textbooks or materials ordered for courses in the registration process will be sent to the attention of the Teacher/Mentors. Students should keep in touch with their Teacher/Mentors during the first few days of the course to make sure they receive everything they need.
  4. Some course providers require students to complete an orientation before starting the course; others have orientation information available. The DLD highly recommends that students take the time to orient themselves to their courses as soon as possible so that nothing important is missed.

While students are waiting for their courses to start, have them take a tour of the Start-Up Demo Accounts. They'll get practice accessing online courses. And you know what they say: Practice makes perfect!
