Attention Moodle Users! The Moodle Online classroom is independent of the ITC Web site. If the ITC website is down, you can still log onto Moodle by going to: http://itc.mrooms2.net

Please make sure you add a book mark in your browser, so you can always reach the Moodle online classroom even when the main ITC website is unavailable.

It is important that distance education classes get off to a good start, and one of the best ways to insure a good start to the academic semester is to have the required text when classes begin. Below is a list of the required text for most of the distance education classes (the list will be updated with the remaining classes shortly). Please make sure that if you are enrolled in distance education classes that you start ordering your text books now!

The ability to enroll yourself into a distance education class on Moodle has been disabled. This is to prevent students and observers from adding themselves into areas they are not supposed to be in. If you are enrolled in a distance education course and you don’t have access to that class, send an email to Mr. Guyden, or Ms Wilson, requesting that you be added to the course and we will make sure you are added as soon as possible.
