Course Plan Instructions
For this first activity, you will create a Course Plan. The Course Plan is designed to help you work through the syllabus and create a strategy for approaching the group project in IST 620.
Course Plan Worksheet
Please download the following worksheet to begin your Course Plan. To be sure your browser downloads the file instead of trying to open it, right-click the following link and choose “Save As,” “Save Link As,” or similar language from the menu. (Each browser is a little different in what wording it uses.)
Editing the Worksheet
To the edit the Course Plan Worksheet, you need to use a word processor that can handle Microsoft Word files. I recommend LibreOffice, as it is free, open source, and does not contain invasive tracking features. However, you can also use Word Online in Office365, which the University has licensed. Be aware that Microsoft is likely collecting information about you when you use Word Online.
Select the editing instructions for the word processor program that you’re using:
Note that you can skip the “Adding a Screenshot” section of the above instructions for this course.
Submitting the Course Plan Worksheet
After you’ve finished editing the Course Plan Worksheet, save your work, and then export the completed worksheet to a PDF file. Instructions for exporting to PDF are provided under Editing the Worksheet, above. Upload the PDF file as the submission to the Moodle assignment activity for the Course Plan.
