Check this if your technology works other places. Wind may also interfere with satellite signals. Instructors will make every effort to record synchronous, Adobe Connect meetings for your convenience. It is recommended you use an Ethernet cable if you have wireless Internet service. A high-speed Internet connection is necessary for you to have a positive experience in your courses and is required for some software programs we use. You should also have a back-up plan if you have trouble with your primary high-speed Internet source. In most cases, you will be required to submit assignments using the Dropbox feature of the Brightspace course software. Most professors will not accept assignments sent through other sources such as email. Microsoft Office.
All files must be submitted in Microsoft Office Word 2010 or 2013, rft, or in Adobe PDF format. Previous Word versions may be used if a Word 2013 patch (www.microsoft.com) is downloaded to your computer. Brightspace (formerly called Desire 2 Learn): All courses will be taught using Brightspace course software. Here you will find information such as course information, assignment information, grades, a drop box to submit assignments, and a class list. You can access Brightspace by going to the SMSU homepage and selecting Brightspace from the Quick Links section. Log in using your SMSU student ID and password. Scroll down to your current Coaching Program courses and open the course you want to explore. First time you log into Brightspace, use your Mustang ID (must include leading zeros) and your birthdate in the specific format shown: year, month, day-two digits for each (example: 850926 for 1985, September, day 26) Livetext: LiveText will be used to develop your electronic portfolio for the Coaching Program. You will use LiveText in every course and will complete and submit your portfolio in the Capstone course, the last course you take. You will learn to use LiveText in your first semester Philosophy and Ethics in Coaching course. LiveText costs $98.00 for a subscription of five years and is included in your textbook and software requirements. These are covered by financial aid if you qualify. You may care to remain subscribed to this service after your initial five years subscription as it has portfolio and other helpful applications. Skype: Skype is a free membership and is used worldwide by its members. Skype is used in the online course environment as a tool to personally speak with another student, a group member during group projects, the professor, the Director of the Program, or others. It is essentially a free phone call with video. You may only call a single person with the free membership to Skype. You may use Google s HangOut if you care to speak with more than one person at a time. http://www.skype.com Adobe Connect: Adobe Connect may be used in the Coaching Program by some professors. Adobe Connect is a synchronous video environment similar to interactive television. The professors can lead class discussions, answer questions, and interact with students in a live video format. You do not need to purchase anything; the course instructor will send you a link you can select and you will be led to the live course. If you are unable to attend these sessions, instructors will make every effort to record (audio and video) them, allowing you to view them at your convenience. When using Adobe Connect, an updated version of Flash Player is required. To update Flash Player, go to: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
You should connect directly into your Router with an Ethernet cable when using Adobe Connect; the wireless environment is unstable with this software. A USB headset and microphone are recommended as they will enhance your Adobe Connect experience. Please mute computer speakers when participating in an Adobe Connect meeting unless you are asked/request to speak. The sounds from computer speakers can be heard by everyone participating in the meeting and are disruptive. Dartfish Dartfish is human movement analysis software, among other things, and will be required in at least three of your courses. The Sports Skills, Tactics, and Evaluation course and the Advanced Practicum in Coaching I and II courses will use Dartfish for projects and assignments. Other courses may require you to use Dartfish in assignments, and/or you may choose to use it for assignments. Dartfish costs $149.00 for a one-year subscription. Since Dartfish may be required for Advanced Practicum I and Advanced Practicum II, you may choose to take these courses during the Dartfish subscription time frame. If you enroll in Advanced Practicum II beyond your one-year subscription of Dartfish, you will need to purchase another year of this software at $149.00 to complete the Advanced Practicum II course. Once you become proficient with Dartfish, you may want to purchase the software ($750.00) rather than pay for a subscription every year. This software is useful in the coaching arena.
