• Summary of the Tutorial week 1- Introduction to University Computing
  
  
  
  

• First week was the introduction to the class tutor Gary Chan. The tutor reflected on our main goals for the semester. For the first lab session the class learnt how to access ECU website, use the ECU web enrolment, acessing our email account and learning managment systems.

• Task 1- Log onto the ECU website and SIMO at http://www.ecu.edu.au/ and click on the current students link.

• Next our class checked if we could send and recieve emails. By doing this we had to click on the link provided under I.T. and Systems called Student E-mail and log into account.
  
  
  
  
  
  


• The next requirment for the our class was to log into BlackBoard under the Current Students Page and to explore the current unit we are studying. We acessed the unit under UPC 0004 and reviewed Unit resources and assignment 1.
  
  
  

• After completing the first tasks the class was to set up their own personal blog in the Blogger account to reflect what we had learnt in both the Tutorials and Lectures. To set up the Blog we acessed the website by going to http://www.blogger.com, and created our own account under "Create a Blog." In creating a blog we had to choose a username, password, display name, entering our email account and ticking the terms of acceptance. Step 2 was to name our blog and creating a title and confirm/choose a URL. Step 3 was to choose a template so the system could now create our blog. Step 4 we were to view our blog and check if it was working by posting.
  

Summary of the Lecture

Firstly our lecture was to intorduce the class to the course and provide information to the following weeks. The lecture reviewed the unit and provided a project-based approach to accessing knowledge through library and information & communications technologies. Our aim for this semester was to focus on using various resourses in accessing knowledge and focusing on our responsibilities for the semester.
