As CCC students continue to navigate the online learning environment, we encourage colleges to adopt online learning readiness tools and strategies. Online Learner Readiness programs can address preparedness and success in online learning by providing supplemental resources and information. Many dimensions of online learning can influence the success of online learners; technology tools, student behaviors and attitudes towards online learning, self-efficacy, online communication and self directed learning are just a few examples. Online student readiness is a campus wide effort. Faulty, counselors, and staff can help students access the most necessary resources as they prepare to thrive in the online learning environment.
This webinar will address the following:
- How to adopt the CVC Online Readiness Modules
- How are colleges using online readiness resource as a campus wide effort
- Recommendations and ideas on how to increase access to online readiness

Description
First impressions really do count, and the first ten minutes a student is in your course can make or break their experience. Designing your course with the needs of diverse students in mind allows you to hit just the right note for that crucial first "introduction" and build intuitive elements that support each student's success.
You'll discover the power of three important "tens" in your students' interaction in the course--the first 10 minutes, the first 10 hours, and the first 10 days. You'll leave with strategies to authentically welcome students, design impactful home pages and syllabi, and create compelling activities that help your students form a meaningful learning community.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- use the CVC-OEI Course Design Rubric to inform how you design interaction into your course;
