Palo Alto College
If you are going to register for a World Wide Web Internet Distance Learning Course, please read and follow the directions found on each page, below. Our goal is have you successfully complete online courses which we offer at Palo Alto College. Respond to the assessment tools as honestly as possible. While we offer many tutorials to help you review your skills, we do not teach technology per-se; you are required and expected to have the computer skills necessary to navigate through the inter-active, information retrieval, uploading, downloading, and cooperative learning required by most professors who teach on line. The first assessment tool evaluates your student study skills. The second assessment tool evaluates your computer skills. Remember, once the course begins, your professor will NOT be teaching these skills per-se; you will get instructions but no, formal lessons.

Tutorials
These tutorials are provided for you to review the basic skills which the Internet Course Developers expect you to have before you take a course in Distance Education on the Internet. The first tutorial directs your attention to the computer skills assessed in number two, above; the second tutorial directs you to the WebCT tutorials (our course-management software); the third tutorial moves you directly to the ACCD WebCT site.
