A Note About email Such as Hotmail, Yahoo, GMail, etc.
Many students have their own email addresses. If you regularly check your email (every single day because you work at a computer or are on every night at home) and prefer to only have one account, then use that as your email address in an OLC Moodle class.
However, if your primary email address is a free email account with Hotmail or Yahoo or some other free provider, you will need to use your assigned OLC email account in order to communicate with your instructor. This is because these free email services impose limits on the quantity of email you can receive and will “return” message if you do not clean up your inbox. They also limit the size of incoming messages and attachments. This can severely limit your ability to communicate with your instructor.
This is why OLC provides an OLC email address to every student who registers. Please plan on using your OLC email address for your classes unless you have an email address that is not a “free” email address (i.e. a work email address such as jdoe@shannon.ws or jdoe@bia.gov, or an ISP address like jdoe@gwtc.com) and you check it EVERY DAY.
A Note About E-mail and Moodle User Codes and Passwords
The first time you enter Moodle, you will need to set up a new Moodle password and input your personal information into the system. Instructors use this information to contact you for the duration of the course, so it is vital that you keep your information up to date. If you change your email address during the semester and your instructor sends out a notice changing the due date for an assignment, you will not receive that notice.
Virus, Junk, Spam, Bulk Mail Filters
OLC's email system does filter for viruses, junk, spam and bulk mails. E-mails that are suspect of one of these types of e-mail are filtered and placed in in a virus, spam or junk folder. Please be sure that you dump these folders from time to time.
