    Student Technologies Orientation

    Welcome! This orientation is designed to give an overview of the technologies you will need to be a successful student at BCC.  Additionally, there are introductions to the services available to you at BCC.

    To complete the orientation, start with the first section, looking at each item in order. Some of you may want to go to the computer help sites; some of you may not need to complete that section.

    This orientation contains downloadable PDF tip sheets, powerpoint presentations, and links to websites as well as several short online "books" addressing specific areas. 

    To view the books, click on the title of the desired topic, then use the left/right arrows or the page titles on the left side of the page to navigate through the material.  Some pages are long - be sure to scroll down through the material.

    The topics included are: Getting Started, Email, Moodle, Self-Service/WebAdvisor, Student Services, and a section on various Microsoft software.

    • Thinking about taking an online course? 


      Not sure if you are ready for an online course?  The two questionnaires below can help you determine if online is for you!  The Penn State assessment measures your comfort levels and personal skills which will help you succeed in the online environment. The VLC assessment looks more at specific things you will need to do to be successful.


      The responses to these questionnaires are not an "entrance exam" to take online courses.  They are designed to help you make a good decision on whether or not to enroll in an online course.
