This course is CST 2410 Introduction to Computer Security section OL20.
I am your professor, Patrick Slattery, and I look forward to working with you this semester. The reading materials are available on this OpenLab site and other materials (slides, assignments, etc.) will posted on Blackboard.
This course is offered in Online-Synchronous mode. We will meet on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays from 2:30 pm – 5:10 pm via Blackboard Collaborate Ultra. Please make sure you can access the course on Blackboard and that you are able to find the “Live Course Session”. Our first session is this Tuesday, June 1st, 2021.
You can easily access the blackboard collaborate tool by selecting the “Join Live Sessions on Collaborate Ultra” from the left-hand sidebar, right below the “Course Content.” You will be able to join the session 15 minutes before the start time (that is, 2:15 pm). You will need a browser with audio to participate. Use of video is preferred. If you do not have a microphone on the computer, please inform me in advance. If you have trouble with audio in class then please use the chat function
Below is the summary of the actions when you join the Live Course Session:Â
- When you join the room, we recommend you mute your audio so that you do not disturb other participants.
- If you want to engage in the discussion or ask a question, unmute yourself by clicking on the mic icon and talking. After you are finished, mute your audio again. If you have trouble being recognized when you are trying to speak then use the “Raise Hand” feature in the session to get the professor’s attention.
- There is a purple arrow in the bottom right corner of the screen that opens the collaboration panel, where you can write messages in chat and share your computer screen if the instructor asks you to share.Â
