Training & Support


Online Resource

Virginia Tech students have the opportunity to expand their learning outside of a brick and mortar classroom or a printed book. Students can take classes online or supplement their traditional classroom experience with the aid of online resources.

Virginia Tech Online
Many courses at Virginia Tech have some online component, including chat rooms, online syllabi, and assignments due via e-mail. Some upper level courses are taught 100 percent online, convening in a virtual rather than conventional classroom. As more courses are added to the online catalog, it will become increasingly easy for students to resolve scheduling conflicts because the classes are asynchronous and students can access course materials at a time convenient to their busy schedules.

Online Tutorials
Several Virginia Tech web sites provide information on more advanced processes, such as web publishing and enhanced software performance. A wealth of information is available for the interested student. New students are encouraged to explore the Tech web site for helpful hints and tools to improve their knowledge and use of information technology.

Student Homepages
Any Virginia Tech student can create a personal homepage using Filebox. The Web Hosting Group provides the resources; the student provides the content and creative component. The student must have a PID and be enrolled to obtain a Filebox. Once these are in place, the student can create the homepage. The files for the homepage are then transferred to the Filebox Web server and posted.
