Welcome to CD 105, CD 105H, CD 185

I look forward to an exciting semester learning about child development and working with you in an online format.

For CD 105 & CD 105H, we will use a free OER Textbook. You will not be required to purchase a textbook.

For CD 185, there is a free textbook option. You will not be required to purchase a textbook.

I open up the Canvas shells a few days before class begins and send out an email welcoming you to the class. Read the home page & go to the button which says, "Start here" which will take you to the Module Link.

You can begin to read the Orientation Module in order to be prepared for your online class. After you log in, you will have access to the syllabus with expectations for the course and textbook information. If this is your first semester using Canvas, I encourage to take advantage of all the resources in the Orientation Module & watch the introductory video about Canvas Navigation.

I will send you an introduction announcement about 2-3 days before class begins.

It is helpful if you begin to read the syllabus before the first class to make sure you are interested in taking the section of the class I teach.

The best way to reach me is through the Canvas Inbox or through email kadams@valleycollege.edu. I check my email frequently.

Thanks you! Kathy Adams
