Student Guide - Introduction
The course assumes that your professor has confirmed that you have at least a basic knowledge of how to use a computer including using input devices like a mouse and a keyboard. In addition, it is assumed that you are familiar with your web browser and navigating between pages on the Internet.

In this guide you will be introduced to the basics of participating in an online course. This part of the course is on paper, as you will need to refer to it at the same time as taking notice of what is displayed on screen.

As the course progresses, the emphasis will move from this guide to solely online activity. The actual appearance on screen is governed by settings on your own computer and as a result what you see may be slightly different than that shown in the examples. Please follow the steps in the order shown until you have completed the section on basic navigation.

Introduction
In this guide you will be introduced to the basics of participating in an online course. It will take you step-by-step through registration, entering the Moodle environment and working within Moodle. What is Moodle? Moodle is a program that allows the classroom to extend onto the web. Your instructor has many options in setting up the Moodle environment so you may access your assignments, interact with the students in your course, upload assignments, access resources and much more. This guide is your map to the electronic classroom.

Access for York Faculty
Access to Moodle requires a Passport York account. In order to request an account, you must send an email to accounts@yorku.ca from your own yorku.ca email address. The request must include your full name and employee number.

If you do not have a yorku.ca email address, you must obtain this before requesting a Passport York account. Have your faculty/department administrator or computer coordinator send an email to accounts@yorku.ca to request a yorku.ca email account on your behalf. The request must include your full name and employee number. CNS Client Services will send you your new username and a temporary password, which you can then change. Once your have a yorku.ca email address, you can follow the previous set of instructions to obtain a Passport York account.

If you have a Passport York account but have forgotten your username or password, see:

The Player
Six players are listed on the lineup sheet in the floor position they occupy at the start of the game. A team may also list one specialized defensive player called the “libero” on the lineup sheet for each game. If a libero is not designated on the lineup sheet for a game, that team may not use a libero in that game. A player designated as the libero can play as a non-libero player in that game. (Exception: Rule 10-3-6 - Exceptional Substitution)

A. Playing actions:

• The libero is restricted to perform as a back-row player, and is not allowed to complete an attack from anywhere (on or off the court) if, at the moment of contact, the ball is entirely above the height of the net.
• The libero may not block or attempt to block.
