Dear Dressmaking Student:

Good day, and welcome to the English Language Skills Training Program NC I course!

My name is Irah May M. Gaballo and I will be your trainer for the course. I want to welcome
everyone, and I would encourage you to post a short informal hello message in the "Self-
Introduction" discussion forum just to let me know you received my welcome message, to
briefly introduce yourself to the class, and to say a few words about what you hope to get out
of this course. 

Although the official start date for the course is not until Tuesday, August 18th, all students
(who have officially registered) now have access to the LSI course site, so feel free to start
exploring a little bit of your online learning environment—All details of the course can be
found within the online course site, including study guide, module overview files, recorded
lectures, readings, etc.

The flow of this online course uses a mix of asynchronous (not live/own time), and
synchronous (live/real-time) learning activities. This course will have regular  weekly
assignments due, scheduled live class sessions (via web conferencing), weekly text discussions
via the course discussion forums, as well as readings and course materials that each of
student  is required to keep on top of each week.  This is a self-paced course. Its nominal
duration is 100 hours (12.5 days). Our online sessions/web conferencing is scheduled on
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each student must manage their own time each week, to know when
assignments are due, and any other  weekly course obligations, and all students move through
the course together each week. This will involve regularly logging into the online learning
systems to check forums, communications, monitor your email address, and virtually interact
with classmates, trainer, and course materials.

At this point, I suggest the following actions:

 Begin to familiarize yourself with the Gnomio learning management system and the
LSI course site

 Please take note of the following:

Username: dressmaking1

Password: DRM1

 Make sure to read the course study guide, health measures, the scheduled live  web
conference  dates/times, as well as assignment due dates, so you can plan your
semester accordingly and get those dates in your professional calendar.

 We will have our first live  web conference  on Wednesday this week, so you’ll need to
be sure you can access our web conferencing system. Note the Web Conference link is
in the course navigation.
 Read through the Study Guide, so you know the rhythm of course, and what is
expected.  This can be found at the top of the online course site.

As you get started, I'll answer any questions as they arise, or point you to our tech support
forum for more technical questions.  Please post your questions in the appropriate Discussion
forum.  I look forward to working with you this semester!

Best,
~ Irah May
