Tools for Success: Sign Up Now for an ELI Online Orientation

Join us online for ELI Orientation this Fall
Our next session is tonight, 6:30-7:30 register now....

Are you enrolled in your first distance learning course? Or, have you taken an online course previously and want to ensure that you are headed in the right direction? Do you have any questions about using Blackboard to complete your ELI course? A great place to start is with the ELI Orientation webinar.

A webinar is a live, online instruction session. You can participate in a webinar from any computer with Internet access and speakers. A microphone is not required as we will use a text chat for all questions. Participation in all webinars offered through ELI is free, but registration is required. Prior to the webinar, all students registered will receive an email with information about how to join the webinar live. You can view the ELI Webinar schedule and registration process 
here. 

You will need the ability to run JAVA to load Blackboard Collaborate, the web conferencing tool we use for the orientation webinar. You can test your connection ability ahead of time by visiting http://support.blackboardcollaborate.com and clicking on "First Time Users -- Blackboard Collaborate web conferencing".

The
ELI Orientation webinar is a live, one hour online instruction session that focuses on getting started in your ELI courses, navigating your Blackboard course site, identifying tips for success, and highlighting student support services. During the webinar, you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you have before you start your course.

In addition to the
Orientation webinar, there will be several “How to Succeed in a Distance Learning Course” webinars scheduled. This live, 45-minute webinar is an opportunity to learn tips for success in distance learning courses and focuses on time management, learning preferences, study strategies, tutoring services, test anxiety, and exam preparation.
