Welcome to Class!

Welcome to JG-01 “History, Polity and Ethos of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) taught by Dr. Jerry Gladson.

This is the first day of the new class. Your Virtual Classroom is open and ready for use. You may access the class by clicking here. Or, you will see it displayed in the "My Registered Spaces" menu in the primary navigation in the masthead of each page in the site.

There are a few housekeeping details you should complete as soon as you can in order to get of to a good start in this class. If you haven’t, please do these things as soon as possible:

• Review the Class Syllabus page.
• Review the How To Take This Course page to know what is expected of you in this class.
• Post your information in the Class Roster. Be sure to add a photo of yourself. Be sure to update any of your information if it changes during the class. Your contact information and photo will be private and will only be seen by members of the class. Note also that there may be students from academic institutions other than your own; indeed, there may be students from anywhere in the world.  Keep this in mind as you make decisions about the information you wish to include in your visible profile. You are always at liberty to make direct connections with any other student(s) in your cohort by contacting them directly.
• From time to time, we will send various notices and updates to you via e-mail. Be sure that e-mail from "transformingthechurch.org" is whitelisted and allowed so our e-mail to you isn't caught in your SPAM filter.

If you need any help, please contact me through the Class Forum. Or, if you wish, my email at bill@apptra.com.
