Contingency Plan

Dear Web Master Students,

During the progress of any online course, it may be necessary to find alternative ways of communicating with the instructor or classmates. For the past several years Texas has had Katrina and Ike to contend with along with power outages, communication failures, and online course disruptions. This is always a possibility. As an online course provider, it is my plan to keep you informed and up to speed in the progress of your course. I have provided for you alternative routes to communicate with mes in case of an unforeseen event. You will be asked to supply your alternative contact information during orientation to this course. Please follow this hierarchy of steps:

(1) Send your alternative contact information to the instructor via a Bb message.

(2) Please print out this contact information for your records

Your instructor's

*        Office phone:  903 859-2408

*        Home phone: 903 839-2793

*        Cell phone: 903 530-0108

*        FAX: 903 859-1671

*        Home Address: 17966 W. Lakeview Dr, Troup  TX 75790

*        Alternative Email: jrousseau875@hotmail.com

*        Alternative Instruction and Assignment Posting Area at Google Docs:  http://docs.google.com/#documents    Refer to the How-Tos on how to set up a Google Docs account. After you have set up an account you will login with your email address to see the documents shared for your access. The How-Tos sections will provide for you step-by-step instructions on how to submit your assignments through Google Docs.

If these methods fail us, it is probably appropriate to take a hiatus from the class while taking care of more important matters. It is times like this that we need not worry about online course deadlines. Please be assured that this course will remain flexible to provide time for you to regain communication, access, and participation to the course. This is one advantage of online courses, we can be flexible and we can readjust deadlines!
