There are two or three separate activities for each session. Use the "emanipulatives" (found on the pages) to explore a problem or concept. 2 Respond to the activities as indicated. The Moderator will respond to postings by the end of the week by e-mail or bulliten board postings. 3 Your moderator may arrange for synchronous meetings, or 'live' on the web. These will schedule at times most convient to the class members. Each meeting will be a place to share insights and questions regarding the current session.

The assessment will be delivered by email and/or webpage, will include problems to solve and explain, and will be "open book, open web, open resource." Feedback will include Pass or Fail, as well as responses to your work. You may redo the assessment, if needed, in order to get a Pass.
