If you're a student at IECC registered for an online or hybrid course, you'll benefit greatly from the required Getting Started tutorial. This free online tutorial course teaches students how to navigate the IECC Entrata Portal, Canvas (the IECC Learning Management System), and Microsoft Office 365 and takes approximately 30-60 minutes to complete.. By completing the tutorial, you'll learn to use web-based tools, access your IECC email account, receive emergency alerts, find online resources and programs, see your course schedules and grades, and discover Canvas features.
To access online, or hybrid courses, students must complete the tutorial before the first day of classes. The tutorial is available on the MyIECC Entrata portal for registered students only.
More on Microsoft Word
As mentioned, Microsoft Word is the word processing software program recommended for online learning classes. Students should use this program when preparing documents to be emailed to instructors. Instructors on IECC campuses utilize this program and may not be able to open documents prepared in software programs such as Word Perfect. Microsoft Office 365 is available for download at no charge via the student's Entrata account.
