Topic
B1: Orienting Students to Online Learning
Introduction
As the instructor of an online course, you
will need to orient your students to the course, and, very possibly,
to the world of online learning. The very least your should provide
in your orientation information is a description of your course (possibly
in the form of an online syllabus), an explanation of how your online
class is managed, and guidance as to how students can be successful
in your online course. You will also want to explain the technological
requirements: a topic that will be covered in more detail in Topic
B2: Orienting Students to Online Technologies.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of Topic B1, you
will:
- Assess the level of difficulty in finding information
a typical online student would need to know before enrolling in an
online course.
- Know the necessary components of the layout of
an online course.
- Differentiate between instructor-generated and
college-maintained orientation materials.
- Be familiar with online orientation materials
other faculty have successfully used in their courses.
