On-Line Latin

The Classical Studies Program currently offers Latin 101 and 102 online. If you have enrolled in either of these classes, please do the following as soon as possible:

Arrange for proctored exams

For these online courses, students are required to take six proctored tests. If you are close to ISU and can take advantage of the Center for On-Line Learning (COLL) facility in Carver Hall, you may arrange to take your tests there. Otherwise, you will need to make arrangements for a proctor as soon as possible. The link below will take you to guidelines that should be followed when selecting a proctor. If you have any questions regarding proctors, please contact mhenry@iastate.edu.

Check your system

For these courses, you will need to use a browser that works well with WebCT, the learning management system supported by Iowa State University. The following are the oldest supported browsers (newer browsers will work as well):

For Windows:

Internet Explorer 5.0, Netscape 6.2, or AOL 7.0

For Macs:

OS 9 or higher with Internet Explorer 5.1 or Netscape 6.2

Besides making sure you have the right browser, you will need software that is usually available in most computers. However, to make sure, do the following checks:

When you click on the Test Audio button below, you should be able to listen to a presentation on the course textbook. If not, you need to get the Windows Media Player. If you are using a Mac and would prefer to use QuickTime, you may install the Windows Media Components for QuickTime. Make sure to restart your computer after installation.

One more quick check... when you click on Test Flash below, you should be able to see a brief presentation. If not, you will see a link to the site where you can get the necessary plug-in.

And o ne last check... when you click on the video icon below, you should be able to see a 5-minute video introduction to Latin Online. If it takes too long for the video to play, try the second choide (Video - Small). If you cannot see this content, make sure your machine has Windows Media Player.
