You also need to know how to contact and ask for help from the people involved in your online learning.

What kind of support will you have?

Technology Staff— people who oversee the computer labs and learning technology and may be able to help with any technology questions or problems you have.
Help Desk— including a contact email or phone number in case you have issues with the course that can’t resolve.
