Start Guide for Online Learning Support

How does the Start Guide work?

Virtual Backpack: The Start Guide for Online LearningThe Start Guide is composed of four (4) modules, each with several pages of content and ending with a quiz. After completing the quiz at the end of each module the next one will become available.

In the final module you will complete a readiness assessment that will open in a new window/tab. When this assessment is completed, you have the option to save or email a copy of your results to yourself.

The final step, after completing the readiness assessment, requires you to return to D2L Brightspace, and review the last page titled ‘Start Guide Completion’. You will want to read over the full page and then click the large Submit Results button at the bottom of the page to submit your completion of the Start Guide for Online Learning and acquire the prerequisite from this course.
