Title: Introductions
Course: IN 2001 Principle of Information Assurance > Section: Introductory Module - Begin Here Week One

Hello, my name is Mr Smith.  I am your instructor for IN2001 this semester.  I am excited to have you aboard and look forward to working with you as you journey towards your educational goals.  Please don't hesitate to ever ask a question in this class.  I encourage healthy discussion and ask you to log on frequently to participate.

Our new platform CANVAS is a fantastic learning environment and will provide you with the opportunity to access your online material from a desktop, laptop or mobile device.  I have done much of the preparation for this class using an Apple IPAD.  I have accessed content via IPHONE and both of those platforms are very user friendly.  Typing of course is much easier on a keyboard but I have actually answered questions and sent responses using the on-board keyboard on the mobile devices.  I will caution you that when you are responding to discussion questions and assignments, detail is the key to the best grade.  With that in mind, a well thought out discussion question might not be one hammered out from your mobile device!

Please take a few moments and introduce yourself to the class.  I'm interested in why you are taking the class, and whether or not you are new to the online environment. Please share some bits of personal information so that we may get to know you.  Add a picture so I can put a face to the name.  If you are on campus and wish to visit with me I am located in Office xxxx.

Your success is my goal so let's get started!
