Getting Started with DDMS

Welcome to the orientation session
for the AEC Distance Delivered Master of Science (DDMS) program.

Below you will find a series of links to various tutorials and informational websites to help you as you begin this journey.

As part of this orientation session you will complete Week 0 in the Statistical Thinking course. In addition to getting you ready for the course, this module has been designed to use most of the tools in e-learning that you will use throughout the entire program. Please take the time to complete all the orientation exercises. I think you will find by spending a little time now learning the e-learning system will save you hours once the courses begin.

To access Week 0, click the link to e-Learning below. Once you have logged in, go into the Statistical Thinking course. Week 0 is located within the Weekly Assignments folder. If you need help logging in, click on our Logging into e-Learning link for directions.
