Accessing Your Course |
Canvas (by Instructure)
Your course is using Canvas. If you are new to Canvas, please visit the
Canvas Basics course space
to become familiar with Canvas prior to the start of your course. No login is required to
access this space.
You will be able to login to Canvas about two weeks prior to the start of your class.
However, your course becomes available as of 1 AM on the official course
start date.
Logging In
Log in to your Canvas course space at
bucks.instructure.com
- Username: Your username is the same for every system at Bucks.
- Password: your Bucks Network password (used to log into any Bucks campus computer or to access any Bucks Library online database from off campus.)
If you do not know your Bucks Username, you can retrieve it by using the Find Your Username Form. Enter your Name, Birthday (mm/dd/yyyy) and either your 7 digit student ID number OR your social security number, then click Submit. Your Bucks username will display on the screen.
Note: Students are uploaded to Canvas several times a day. If you registered late, you won't be
able to access Canvas until the next upload takes place.

Purchasing Your Books and Other Course Materials |
While you may purchase your books and other course materials from the provider of your choice (using the
ISBN number available through the course's academic department
where applicable to ensure the correct version), both the campus bookstore
and our online bookstore,
guarantee that they stock the correct version for your course.
Approximately 3 weeks prior to the start of the session you can use the link
below to see the list of books that have been selected by your instructor. If you have
any questions about the course materials listed, please contact your instructor or the academic
department directly.

Other Information about the Course |
Students must have access to a digital video camera for this class. Use of a webcam for this class is not allowed. The library at BCCC has digital cameras that are available for loan, just like a book. MInDSpace personnel can also help you with uploading your video to Canvas!
Students must organize an audience of at least FIVE ADULTS. The audience must be shown prior to the speech. You must record your speeches in a professional environment where you will not be interrupted, either in your home, school or work environment.
Late assignments (speeches, online assignments, discussion postings, etc.) are not accepted unless appropriate documentation is provided.
Class work for the course will be computer intensive and will require students to have access to the Internet. Using our Canvas "Virtual Classroom," you may be required to complete assignments, address weekly topics on the electronic discussion board and possibly participate in chats. If you are unfamiliar with Canvas, please sign up for an orientation class. Contact online learning for more information.
Online Learning requires that you are a mature and organized individual who will be dedicated to completing course work on your own. I will be available by email or telephone, to help you with your work, but the major responsibility for completing work is yours.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me via email at victoria.mahmoud@bucks.edu.
I look forward to a great semester!
