Welcome to the winter quarter! To help you succeed in your online classes, you will need to complete a special mandatory training, on your own time, between now and January 14th. Here is what you need to know to get started.
How do I begin the training?
The training is full of helpful information. By the end of the training, you will be able to:
- Reflect on your readiness for online learning and identify at least one resource to increase your ability to succeed.
- Demonstrate a basic understanding of how to use at least three different Canvas tools
- Practice at least two strategies for student success.
- Utilize and practice instructional video technologies.
- Identify at least two helpful Shoreline resources.
- You will spend about 5 hours in the training.
- You can finish the training in one day or spread it across several days – your choice!
What if I need help while I am taking the training?
- Attend an optional video chat support session on Zoom:
What if I do not have a computer at home?
Students may check out a laptop for the quarter on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority consideration for students who do not otherwise have a device to access online classes.
What if I do not have access to the Internet?
Check with your local internet or mobile phone provider, as many provide free and low-cost internet options right now. You can also find free Wi-Fi hotspots near you using this Wi-Fi location tool.
Please know that our caring staff and faculty are here for you! We look forward to helping you have a positive and successful first quarter here at Shoreline.
Sincerely,
Phillip King
Vice President for Student Learning, Equity and Success
