Course Information

Course Learning Management System (LMS)

The purpose of the Learning Management System, LMS, is simply to facilitate coursework during the course. Once a participant receives a final grade and certificate from the course, the course may be removed. We do not expect a participant to access his/her course after the course is completed.

It is best practice to save all assignments uploaded into the LMS to a personal computer in case resubmission is necessary.

Participant Workbook

The Hybrid Participant Workbook is different than Spalding’s onsite Participant Workbooks. Double-check before beginning assignments that your Hybrid Participant Workbook cover is GRAY and says, “Hybrid Course”.

Please review the General Information section of the Reading Foundations Participant Workbook. This section provides information regarding course objectives, attendance, and other important details to achieve success in the course.

Have Questions or Need Help?

Please contact the course instructor by email for specific information regarding daily instruction, grading, absence, or any other questions regarding the course.

kspilsbury@spalding.org

Please email Spalding course support should you encounter a problem logging into the course. Course support will not answer questions regarding general course information. Course support generally responds within 24 hours or less.

coursesupport@spalding.org

Make sure to include the course name and number when contacting the instructor or course support.

Class Attendance

Class attendance and punctuality is imperative for optimal course success. Should you need to miss a class, please email the course instructor for further information regarding grade reduction and make-up assignments. Please refer to the Reading Foundations Hybrid Participant Workbook for specifics.
