myitlab Installation for CNIT 100 Spring 2010 Sec 011 Friday 9:00-12:00 class
I.
Create
your myitlab (Pegasus) new user login
1.
IMPORTANT: Use your Student ID(Not
SSN#) as your login name. If you do not use your Student ID, your grades
won't transfer! Be sure to type it in correctly, using the correct
capital letter (W, X, or C, and then 8 numbers.)
2.
Use your browser(doesn’t
work with Firefox) to go to www.myitlab.com
- then click on the First Time Users, Student button. After you
create your account, use the button for existing accounts.
3.
Choose "New User"
on the next screen. Scroll down.
4.
Type in the very long Access Code
from your Student Access Kit - you purchased this at the CCSF bookstore.
This is your license to use the MyITLab
website. You have to purchase this code. Each student must have
his/her own code, it cannot be shared. This is not the COURSE ID -
it's a very long number in your Access Kit!
5.
CCSF area code is 94112.
Choose the "United States" from the
country drop-down list. Then click the <next> button.
6.
In the next screen, you'll need a valid
email address, because you will receive a confirmation e-mail there.
Also enter your correct name, and choose City College of San Francisco from
the school list.
7.
You will also create your login
name and password. Don't forget to use your Student ID(Not SSN#) -- be very careful to type it in
correctly. And, remember your password! Write it down somewhere
safe.
8.
Choose a Security question.
You'll have to remember the answer, because if you forget your password,
you will need to know the exact same answer.
9.
Enter other information as
requested, and then when you click <next> you will be registered for MyITLab, which takes a few moments.
10.
After you confirm the information is
correct, click <Log in now>

process is here, and also at the bottom of our class homepage. Student Getting Started Guide.pdf

III.
Install
the plug-ins and controls
As part of
your first week's work, you need to install
o
the MyITLab simulation player
(an ActiveX Control).
o
check to make sure you have Flash player installed, and
install if necessary.
o
check to make sure you have Adobe Reader installed, and
install if necessary.
Log in to myitlab. Choose Course Content, then
click on Week 1: Start Here.
This is a folder, typical of myitlab. Open the
folder by clicking on it.
Inside you
will find another folder, Preparing
your computer for myitlab. Open it to find
complete instructions on how to prepare your computer for the trainings and
tests. I recommend you use the myitlab installation
wizard, and take the time to install ALL the necessary files on your
homework computer.
In the
Start Here folder, you will also find some documents about how to use myitlab. Take the time to read them.
