Frequently Asked Questions
Q: If I have trouble with the recording, can I come to class?

A: In short, No. Except for exams (mentioned above) online students are not allowed to come to class. In many cases classrooms are full and extra online students would displace students registered for the in-class section. If you are able to attend class you should register for the in-class section. Note that students in the in-class section of an COL-enabled course have access to the same recordings and materials as online students.

Page Summary
The VIEW DOCUMENTS page displays all documents your instructor has uploaded for your course and allows you to DOWNLOAD THE FILE when you right-click on the FILE ICON. The DOCUMENT OVERVIEW box on top displays the number of documents that have been posted since your last login and the total number of documents posted so far.

Viewing Types
Students may change the way documents are viewed by selecting FLAT LIST or GROUPED BY TOPIC. Flat List simply displays all documents in chronological order. If Grouped by Topic is selected, you will see documents grouped together that have the same topic. Each topic will be grouped in an expandable and collapsible list. Topic groups with a single item will appear expanded by default.  Items with no topic assigned will also be grouped together.

Detailed description of document list columns:

  • Document: This is where the title of a given document is displayed along with a short description if your instructor choose to input one. Sometimes you will view the following STAR ICON  prior to the document title. The star symbol indicates that the related document has been posted since your last login.

  • File: Most documents will have a file or weblink attached to it. Click on the FILE ICON to view or download the attached file or open the weblink. 

  • Last Updated: This column displays the date and time the specific document was last updated by your instructor.

Note: Only course instructors may post documents, not students. If there are no documents listed, it is likely that your instructor has not yet posted any documents.
