How Online Ed Supports Student Success Online academic support services: tutoring, writing center, library Online counseling/advising and (increasingly) other student services Student Orientation to Online Learning Increasing classes using low- and no-cost digital course materials Faculty development for enhanced online course design and teaching Robust set of online teaching & learning tools Canvas is used in 93% of our credit classes this semester. This continues a steady, slight year-to-year increase in the use of a course management system – the transition did not impact that. Child Development department now offering a Zero Textbook Cost certificate. About 10 of our teaching faculty and many of our counselors have participated to some extent in OEI-related activities – developing classes, participating in professional development, reviewing classes Course Exchange timeline changed a bit with renewal of the CVC-OEI grant this year; now won’t be implemented here until at least fall 2019 OEI provides us access to tools like Canvas, NetTutor, Cranium Café, (Proctorio, Plagiarism detection)
