Week 1: Lessons Learned

There’s always something new about teaching each semester that we learn or I have to relearn. This post summarizes e-mail note sent to class about these issues and few others from prior classes:

• SAP System ID‘s. Important for those participating online who could access the paper list I shared in class. An up to date copy of the list will remain on the ‘Roster / Schedule / Teams’ link on the course blog.

  Remember the system we’re using is GB5. Client Number: 639

  Initial password is TOwlsPAS (case sensitive). You’ll enter your own password when you logon the first time. Remember it. I can reset the password if necessary (Send me and e-mail). However if I have to reset you’ll lose a small extra credit toward your grade.
• Class VideoAs I will do every week, the class video captured from last night is now linked on the Week 1 – page in the Schedule section of the blog.

  Unfortunately, due to the technical issues we had with WebEx, the SAP exercise session was not recorded. You can watch a similar video fromWeek 1 of 2016 class sessionabout logging onto SAP. Note: the System details (e.g. client number) may be slightly different in 2017 class.

   

• WebEx I had to change the WebEx meeting details to a ‘training session’ to support on-line breakout groups that we’ll start using week 2. The WebEx link was changed on the course blog. Details of the new link are below.

• Background conversations, noise, etc. can be very distracting with many people on-line.  Please, when you first join the class – place yourself on Mute.  Remain there except when you wish to contribute or during breakout sessions.
