New WCET Website on "Creating Web-Based Student Services for Online Learners"
Check out the new website for the LAAP project "Beyond the Administrative Core: Creating Web-Based Student Services for Online Learners." In the About the Project, there is more information about the visions for the modules that each of our partners--Kansas State University, Kapi'olani Community College, Regis University, and SCT-- are developing. Current plans call for the modules to be implemented on their campuses this fall. The partners' project directors will demo their modules in a preconference workshop at the WCET annual conference in November in Denver and talk about their experience in developing them. If you have specific questions for one of them now, you can email her/him from their partner page.
Also, please check out the Resources section where we have overviews of several student services authored by experts in the field and links to examples of good practice. Don't miss the related topics on setting up a call center, providing online services to students with disabilities, and how staffing can change in an electronic environment. We plan to continue adding more information and models of good practices to this section so if you have any suggestions, please send them along!
In the Webcast Series, you will find archived versions of presentations on several student services topics. Our next webcast will be on orientation with Dan Volchok from WebCT. (This is a rescheduled presentation as a result of audio difficulties experienced in some areas of the country during the April presentation). On June 24 Marianne Phelps and Norm Finlinson will discuss financial aid for distance students and take us on a tour of BYU's state-of-the-art online system.
Finally, please let us know how we could make this site more useful for you.
