Event Overview
A perennial issue in the design of student success courses is the dilemma of “fitting it all in.”  How do institutions determine what content is essential as first-years make the transition to college? How do we help support faculty to develop expertise? Utilizing e-learning pedagogy offers practical solutions to patterned issues that first-year programs face.

This session examines the development of an on-line course, using Blackboard Learn, designed to enhance the first-year transition and enable participants to consider a framework for their own course design. Practical strategies for incorporating online resources into an e-learning student success course will be highlighted. Participants will discover the challenges and rewards of designing a dynamic online course from the initial idea phase of development, through the implementation and assessment stages.

Session Outcomes
- Identify courses or programs on your campus that might benefit from the creation of an online component or course.
- Discover ways to engage students in a course that is mostly self-guided with little instructor interaction.
