Description
Student orientation to online courses and student socialization with other online students greatly affects success in the course or program. The University of Florida's Warrington College of Business Administration's award winning Internet MBA program includes a comprehensive on-campus orientation with team-building, conceptual review opportunities, and introduction to the technology that will be used in the program. A hands-on walk through of the hardware and software introduces students to the technology they will use during the program. Students learn how to use Sakai through practice assignments, assessments and discussion activities. The information for these sessions is contained in a Sakai course site (with the material presented in the Lessons/Melete tool to acclimate students to course sites) and is projected on the screen, thus accomplishing two purposes: 1) displaying instructions during the session, and 2) providing tutorials and information for later access and reminders.
