What's Involved?

Once registered, students receive their student access via e-mail. After logging in, they will have an opportunity to explore their online course room. Once the online course begins, classes move forward at weekly intervals, encouraging discussion about new topics each week.

Students usually can log on for a couple hours each week. They read course materials and participate in discussion boards, surveys, and live chat sessions.  Some classes may include watching online videos. Each week participants may gain access to chapters of a guide book written about memory loss.

Technical Requirements
There are minimal technical requirements for participation in Making Sense of Memory Loss Online, such as Internet access and e-mail. Special software and hardware are not needed. Plug-ins are available at no cost. Free technical assistance is available 24 hours a day via a toll-free number or by e-mail.
