Welcome to the OERu course, ART 100: Art Appreciation and Techniques. The wiki course environment differs from other online courses you may have taken or seen because it is collaborative: students and users in the wiki can modify, edit, and/or contribute to pages. Before you do that, however, you will want to work through the course.

The Home Page shows the course identifiers (level, approximate number of hours needed to learn the material, number of credits, and so on); 'course description, key resources, and microblog feed, a space in this wiki in which you can exchange small pieces of content. (This will be explained later.)

To return to this Home Page at any time, click the HOME link or the course title Art Appreciation and Techniques. Every page in this course links back to this Home Page from the top navigation bar. If you link to a WikiEducator page outside this course, you use the back arrow to return to the previous page or click where you see the course title.

There are eleven modules in this course, as shown in the navigation bar near the top of this screen.
