(Before you start, you might wish to try the "I'm A Genius" test to see if you already have all the essential skills for learning online at UCF.)

Pay particular attention to the following sections:

  • Polaris
  • Copyright

UCF Online Course Experience
The two tutorials that focus specifically on how to access and participate in online courses at UCF are:
  • Online Course Basics
  • WebCT Basics

In addition to the tutorials on this CD-ROM, "UCF Info" contains a lot of useful information you can refer to often. The Software Page contains free links to the most useful software for online learning. (There is not a long download time because the software is installed directly from the CD-ROM to your computer.) The Library section is also very useful.

Personal Learning Style
You will probably be most satisfied by focusing on the tutorials that prepare you to perform specific tasks.

Choose one of the tutorials listed above and follow this process:

  1. Start from the Learning Online page.
  2. Select the tutorial in which you are interested.
  3. Complete the tutorial topics.
  4. Use the "You Try It" section to practice the skills taught in the tutorial.

When you have completed all of your tutorials, take a few minutes to complete the "I'm A Genius" test. (If you're in an online course, your instructor may require you to print your results page and turn it in.)
