Overview
Within the "Start Here!" Module, students are presented with essential information. This includes details about significant campus resources available to support their educational pursuits, a discussion of ethical considerations in their studies, and an introduction to the technological tools that will be integral to their success in the course. An introduction to the course that is dedicated to course technology not only provides a list of necessary tools but also delves into the "why" behind their usage. This contextual understanding helps students appreciate the relevance of these technologies to their learning experience. Alongside this, there are clear and accessible how-to guides, complete with relevant links, to ensure that students can easily navigate and utilize the required technology. Resources like this help accommodate students who may be new to UHD or college life.
