Welcome Course Registration Class Modules Glossary Welcome We are excited to offer a new online course at Kolel! Being an online course, of course, you are welcome to study at your own pace, but we do recommend that you sign in at least once a week, to read other participants' comments and questions. Each week you should plan on covering one module (each module will probably take one hour to complete). (The course has seven modules with a bibliography in module 8). Course Registration IMPORTANT: Please read carefully (and bookmark this page for future reference) You may have already registered with Kolel, but in order to participate in the online forum, you must 'register' by choosing a user ID and password. You must sign into the forum in order to ask or answer questions, and make comments in our closed, moderated forum. Only registered participants have access to this forum. We encourage participants to first introduce themselves, and use the private forum in Kolel's lounge we have created for this purpose. In order to post messages in this class discussion forum, you must (first) simply sign in. Signing in is simple. Just follow these three easy steps: Choose an (easily remembered) User ID and Password Click on the 'register link' to register Enter the Zohar Forum in the Lounge and enter the Forum password; (if you've forgotten it, contact our webmaster: bsienna@kolel.org.) That's it! Once you've registered in the Class Forum, you can access the class discussion (or any of the Kolel forums) at any time by clicking on the 'Class Discussion' link at the top of every page. After you register, click on the course outline and visit the first module to get started! Good luck. If you have any problems, contact bsienna@kolel.org. Class Modules Each course is divided into into modules (like chapters) which are further divided into topics (pages). Each module and topic begins with a brief overview. You are welcome to explore the material provided at your own pace, and at your own convenience (2 AM is a quiet time in some households!). We estimate that you can cover one module in about one hour online. You can decide whether to do this in one sitting, or several shorter sessions. Whatever you prefer, we recommend that you plan on covering each module within one week. Each module contains a discussion question or a comment that you may respond to; you may also respond to another participant's contribution. Be sure to visit the interactive class discussion each week as well as reading the online material. You must register (it's free) in order to read participant's comments or post your own. To enter the Discussion Forum you must know the Class key (password): nogah Glossary Another form of help is the glossary. Words that are unfamiliar to you are cross-referenced to the glossary. If you don't know what a word means, and find it is not in the glossary - tell us. We'll be happy to add it to the glossary.
