Login Screens

PLATO:

To get to PLATO, either double click on the PLATO icon, which looks like a stone-grey head, or left click and hit enter. The login screen will ask you to Enter your PLATO name. Here you must type your first name, a space, and your last name with the initials capitalized. This login screen is case specific, so if the initials are not capitalized, the program will not let you log in. After you type your name, either use the mouse to move the cursor over the Continue button and click it or strike the Enter key on the keyboard.

For example:
Enter your PLATO name:
Phyllis Jones

If it asks for a Password, you have typed in your name incorrectly. Check the spelling and capitalization or retype your name.

When you are finished with PLATO, either click on the little icon that looks like a door with the word Exit that is located on the top menu bar, click on the box with the X located in the upper right corner, or go to File on the menu bar and click on Exit. This will get you back to the PLATO login screen. Please make sure to click on the box in the lower right corner that says Exit. This will get you to the blue desktop screen. Make sure to LogOut (see explanation below).

Instructional Math/ Academic Systems:

To get to the Instructional Math login screen, double click on the icon that is a red square with the white letters IM. On the first screen, you are asked to Select your school. Click on the button with the arrow located on the right of this request box. Use the down arrow to scroll down to locate Eastfield College (ESTF). Just under this box, click on Student.

The screen will update and ask (in red letters) Are you ready to Do a Lesson? or Would you like to Check your Progress? There are also additional resources listed below. Click on the appropriate area by using the mouse to move the cursor.

The Academic Systems login screen will appear. On the line asking for Log-on Name, type in first initial and last name. On the line asking for Password, type in your ID number. It is not case specific, so it doesn’t matter if anything is capitalized.

For example:
Log-on Name: asmith
Password: 1234567

Make sure to close the program when you are finished by going to the upper left corner of the screen and clicking on File and then Exit. Please make sure to log off the computer.

eCampus:

To access eCampus, you must first establish an Internet connection. If you are doing this from a computer on the Eastfield College campus, after the initial login screen, look for the blue e—Internet Explorer. Double click this icon to log onto the Internet.

Once on the Internet, pull up the eCampus website for Eastfield College: http://ecampus.dcccd.edu.
There are two ways to get to the login screen. In the middle column, one box header states Login here. Click on this link to get the login screen. Also, at the top of the page, you can click on Login, located next to Home and Help. This way will also get you to the login screen.

On the line asking for the Username, type in the letter e and then your Student ID number. On the line asking for Password, again type in the letter e and then your Student ID number.

For example:
Username: e1234567
Password: e1234567

When you are finished with the program, click on the box with the X located in the upper right corner. Please make sure to log off the computer.
