CHOOSE A SCENARIO

· I have an ISP at my home and have Internet access through various other methods.

· I do not have an ISP at my home but have Internet access through various other methods.

· I do not have an ISP at my home and I only have one method of accessing the Internet.

ADDRESS THE POINTS

1. Outline your primary Internet access plan and explain why the plan is your primary plan for coursework.

· What company is your current ISP or what company do you plan to use?

· Why did you select this ISP (e.g. connection speeds, price)?

· Does this ISP support all of the devices you need to connect (i.e. phone, laptop/desktop computer, tablets, smart TVs/smart TV devices such as Roku)?

· Is the service at broadband speeds?

· Is this primary access plan sustainable while you are an online student (e.g. can you afford it, do you have enough flexibility, is the service stable)?

· Explain why or why not the primary access plan is sustainable.

1. Outline your entire back-up plan prioritizing how and when you would engage each part of the plan (i.e. detail all of your options, prioritize when and why you would access the particular method).

· Do you have a hotspot back-up plan? Do you want to get one? Why or why not?

· Do you have an alternate residence/location to connect to the Internet? If so, where?

· Do you have public wifi access points? How close are the public access points to you (e.g. driving or walking time)? Do they have 24/7 access?

· What are some other locations where you can access the Internet (i.e. public library, your child's school, a Strayer campus, etc.)?

1. Lastly, review of your primary and back-up plans.

· Do you see any pitfalls in your planning?

· What situations are beyond your control (i.e. public health scare, blackouts/brownouts, natural disasters)?

· Does your plan change in consideration of any situations beyond your control?

ORGANIZE YOUR POST

1. Make sure that you always organize your post into paragraph format with 200+ words.

2. Create a conversational flow (e.g. talking to someone) with a scholarly tone (i.e. no text talk or slang, spell and grammar check always using a tool such as Grammarly, etc.).

NEXT STEPS

1. Respond to a peer's post using their first name.

2. Make sure your peer response is 100+ words and uses a conversational flow with a scholarly tone.

3. The goal of your peer post is to move the conversation forward by substantially responding and possibly asking a follow-up question to further the conversation.

4. If you have any questions, be sure to reach out via email to bonner@strayer.edu for help.
