COD introduces online learning guides for internet-based courses

by Emily Lorenz, COD Courier

The resources, found on COD’s website, range from videos to tips, to places, both virtual and on-campus, where students can go for help. These sources provide a way for students to learn all of the basics, from what type of computer they need for the best study techniques. The first two months that this resource was offered to students, 2,074 students took advantage of at least one of the resources available to them. COD’s Learning Technologies Program Specialist Becky Benkert said students using these sources have given good feedback. She feels these resources are helpful to both new and returning online students. “Students have been self-reporting that they feel more confident about pursuing their online courses after completing the orientation than they did before they began,” Benkert said. “These resources should be equally helpful to anyone enrolled in an online course. They would be most helpful to new students, but anyone who wants a refresher should find the orientation beneficial as well.”
