It’s deceptively quiet on campus today. Some of us are still recovering from the “holiday” and others are in full prep mode for the start of term next week.

On that note, here are a couple of things to keep in mind as you head into next week:
* WebCT servers will be challenged with the start of term volume. Remind your students to log on during mid-day (rather than evening) whenever possible – they’ll be less frustrated. You may want to check for updates on the WebCT upgrade project – periodically.
* Check your class list on the Faculty Service Centre.
* Send a welcome message to your students via the Faculty Service Centre. Online instructors usually do this as soon as the term starts (Monday, Jan 8th). Print based instructors may want to wait until the close of registration (January 22nd).

Note that the Teaching and Learning with Technology series starts up again on January 30th. Watch for upcoming events on the OLT or TAG websites.

Happy start of term!
