Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How do LISD Online Courses work?

   You must have access to the Internet and a computer as well as have the required software needed for the course being taken.  You will access your course via your web browser during times that are convenient with your schedule (during the online session).  Our classes are designed to be self-paced, and there are definite beginning and ending times as well as specific dates that assignments must be turned in.  They are designed, however, for you to work assignments ahead of the deadline schedule.  For the most part, you will do your reading offline and online, turn in assignments, interact with other online students via a discussion board, and interact with the instructor via email.  Online courses are designed to be flexible.

2. Do I have to access my class at the same time everyday?

   No, but you will have to access your class several times a week at times that are convenient to you.  This will help you keep on top of deadlines and assignments that are due.

3. How do I receive my username and password for the course?

   Once you have registered online by filling out the registration form, then you will receive all instructions about your course via email from then on.  Your username and password will be either emailed out to you before the course session begins, or it will be in a packet of materials for you to pick up.  If there is a problem with your login/password, then you will need to email or call the Online Coordinator to get things corrected.

4. Whose email address should I use on the registration form?

   The registration form that is submitted online requires a working email address.  This will be the email address that will be replied back to with specific info concerning the online course and materials.  We suggest that the email in the form be a parent email address so that all communications can be received by the parent.  Student email addresses may be used in the form, but make sure that the email account that is used is checked frequently for info concerning the course.

5. How do I take my final exam for an online course?

   All online final exams are scheduled for the last day of the session.  Students will be asked to take their exam "online" (from a home or school computer) for their course between 9 am and 9 pm that day.  Materials and textbooks will also need to be checked into the person, place, and date specified in the course announcements.
