complete an orientation before they can enroll in an online or hybrid class.

Current PracticeOptional orientation to online learning

Indicators it is not meeting the needs of distance learners:

Feedback from faculty Input from students Online Student Help Desk tickets Online student retention rates

Page 4: WINTER Template Online Course Readiness Mandatory Orientation for New Distance Learning Students AGC Presentation 1 October 14, 2014 Distance Learning.

Well-defined expectations need to be available prior to enrollment, not after the course has started.

Our current system does not have this in place.

Significant research and models of successful implementation

already exist.
