Orientations

Students enrolled in online and hybrid courses are welcome to attend a virtual orientation orientation to Online Learning. 

Orientations for Summer 2022 will take place May 26 from 12-1:30 p.m. and June 9 from 10-11:30 a.m. Both will be delivered via Zoom. The link to the Zoom meetings will be posted the morning of the orientations.

Please note the following:

1. These orientations are NOT course-specific.
2. Each orientation covers the same material, so students don't have to attend each session.
3. If students are seeking to add into courses that are full, they will not be able to do this at these orientations; they will need to contact the instructors directly.

Among the topics typically covered at these orientations are:

• Dispelling myths about online courses
• Qualities of a successful online learner
• Tips to succeed online, including time management
• Researching online
• Using Zonemail
• Basic course navigation
• Using Canvas tools, including the Calendar and Notifications
