Can I still register for a class after the "start date"?
All courses are independent study and self-paced. This means you can still register
for a course after the "start date" as long as you complete the coursework by the
course deadline. Registration deadlines are posted on the
Registration
page.
Do I need to be computer savvy to take an online course?
If you know how to get online, send an e-mail and word process, you'll do well in
an IT4Educators course. Instructions to get you started are e-mailed
out to you before the course begins. All enrolled participants are supplied
a login and password to Atomic Learning and Moodle. These programs give enrolled
teachers access to online tutorials and an anytime, anywhere learning environment.
How does an online course work?
Online courses are great for self-motivated learners who want to take a course without
spending physical time in a classroom. The user logs in to a website (IT4Educators
uses a program called
Moodle)
where the syllabus, the online weblinks, discussion board (to communicate with other
classmates) and even a gradebook await them. Users do all work online and then submit
assignments digitally in a Digital Dropbox. (This is very similar to adding an attachment
to an e-mail.) All the "how-to's" and instructions are posted for direction and
the instructor is always a phone call or an e-mail away if you need assistance.
Will these courses count towards a lane change?
IT4Educators partners with the University of St. Thomas, North Dakota State University
and Chapman University College to bring you Graduate Continuing Education semester
credit courses that meet requirements for license renewal and may be used for lane
changes when prior approval has been obtained by the student from his or her district/employment
personnel office.
Can I transfer these credits into a Graduate Degree program?
Any student seeking to transfer graduate continuing education credits into a graduate
program at another institution is advised to obtain prior approval from the academic
adviser and dean at that institution.
What if I need technical assistance during the course?
IT4Educators is dedicated to customer service. We are interested in your questions
and feedback, and will respond to your inquiries within 48 hours either by providing
online assistance or by telephone.
Who is IT4Educators?
We are a group of Technology Integration Teachers interested in sharing technology
through curriculum based, online courses. If you have an idea for a course that
would benefit you in your classroom, please
contact us.
How do I receive a transcript from the University of St. Thomas?
Grades are turned in weekly to the University of St. Thomas. Once grades are
turned in, St. Thomas will mail out a grade report to your home. Once you
receive this grade report, you can then request a transcript from the University
of St. Thomas. If you have a specific deadline, please communicate your necessary
completion date to IT4Educators and we will try to accommodate requests.

How do I receive a transcript from Chapman University College?
Grades are turned in weekly to Chapman University College. A grade report (not an
official transcript) will be sent to you, automatically, within approximately three
to four weeks after a grade has been submitted with Chapman University College,
notifying you that your grade has been posted. After receiving your grade report,
you may then request an official transcript that will include the graded courses
for which you have been notified.

Can I communicate with other participants while taking a course?
All enrolled participants are supplied a login and password to Moodle. Moodle
has an area where participants will answer posted questions and they can communicate
with each other if they are interested.
Can I turn in coursework early?
All work is graded in a timely fashion and returned to participants in an online
drop box or by e-mail. Participants can complete the course in two weeks or
in 14 weeks, as long as work is submitted by the final grading deadline.
