Attention: eLearning Students: Mandatory Training for Online Learning

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? 

Log in to Canvas and look for the “Getting Ready for Online & Hybrid Learning – Winter 2022” training. (To access Canvas, follow these login instructions.)

What is in 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.

How long will it take? 

  • 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
