1 This Orientation to Online Learning microsite was create in December 21 and shared with faculty teaching online courses in January 211. This is the description provided to faculty: In collaboration with distance learning faculty and students who have taken online courses, CELTT has produced an Orientation to Online Learning, Kapi olani Community College. A draft was used successfully in a handful of online courses and we are now ready to share this resource with all online faculty. We will seek input from the Faculty Senate s distance learning committee soon and will revise the pages prior to the next term. WHAT IT IS: The orientation consists of a set of web pages. These pages are intended to orient students to online learning at KapCC and the pages provide the following information: what it takes to be a distance learning student with interactive self-assessment how to use Laulima (links to UH ITS tutorials and FAQs) technical requirements for accessing course material and participating in online courses what instructors expect of distance learning students (netiquette, student conduct code, etc.) expectations regarding availability of online faculty This is an attempt to provide students with consistent information, establish realistic expectations, and provide links to resources for technical assistance. Some information attends to items in the faculty peer evaluation form for online courses. In the coming months we hope to roll out more student-focused support services. HOW TO USE THIS: You can include the URL in your syllabus, it to your students, or better yet, add it to your course website. The pages were designed to fit into a Laulima window, but can also be viewed well in a new window. You can add the URL as a WEB CONTENT tool in Laulima. A tutorial on how to use this tool is available at We recommend that after you add this to your site, you change the OPTIONS so that the FRAME HEIGHT is at least 12 pixels. To do this, click on the word OPTIONS that appears above the Orientation home page and select 12 pixels from the drop down list for frame height, then click on the UPDATE OPTIONS button. WHERE TO FIND IT: The URL is: WHAT IF YOU DON T USE LAULIMA? Several online faculty use other websites to deliver instruction. For those courses, we ve duplicated the orientation pages but left out the Laulima tutorials/links. The URL is QUESTIONS? If you have questions or need assistance, submit an online request form at Screen shots of the pages in this module are supplied on the following pages. Analytics on the site from January 3, 211 to January 2, 211 are also provided.
