| When you register for a conferenced course with voicemail component, your enrollment
means you have made a commitment to participate in your course conference online. The
online system allows you to communicate with your faculty member and with your coursemates
in a virtual classroom, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Plan to participate online in
the conference on a regular basis. Weekly online discussion topics will be found under
Conference Discussions in each week of the Readings and Assignments section in the
syllabus. Refer to the Grading Policy in the online syllabus to see how your conference
participation will count toward your final grade.
To prepare to use the online conference, you should read the documents -- WebTycho
Etiquette and WebTycho Participation. You may prefer to print these documents out; you may
need to refer to them frequently during the semester. You may obtain assistance with
computer-related problems through the Tycho Help Desk, 800-807-4862, or by sending email
to tychosupport@polaris.umuc.edu.
To use voicemail you need a standard touch-tone telephone. Instructions and your
personal voicemail identification number will be sent to you directly by our voicemail
provider. Please contact TeleMemo, Inc., immediately if you do not receive the voicemail
information within the first week of the semester. However, if you register a day or two
before the start of the semester, please understand that is will be five to seven days
before you receive your voicemail packet.
Access to the system for the upcoming semester will be available three days prior to
the start of the semester. For further assistance with the voicemail system, call
TeleMemo, Inc. Customer Service at 703-548-6950 or 800-747-8673. |
