Welcome to _____, __________, a distance learning classroom course at Queensborough Community College.

You should have received a letter from _________, Coordinator for Distance Learning, outlining the steps you should follow to start your distance learning classroom course experience.

Distance learning classroom courses are those that are offered in real time, simultaneously at the three campuses in specially equipped distance learning classrooms. As your instructor, I will be teaching over live video from the __________ Campus. Students at the Campus as well as students at the other campuses will also be taking the same course.

Because of the nature of the course where students at two campuses do not have face to face (in person) contact with the instructor, please remember this very important word of advice: Keep in touch with me either by email, fax, telephone, and/or interoffice mail.

My email address is:

My fax number is:

My office telephone number :

I am also available before and after class at the home campus, and I can even meet with you over live video if you are at the other two campuses. If you ever want to stop by for a visit my office is in the__________Building, Room_____ on the __________Campus.

In addition, there will always be a college aide in the classroom to assist you with any questions or problems you may have.

Again, welcome to ______. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
