- Abstract
Presenters will show a viable solution that goes beyond self-evaluation surveys to teach students basic skills they need to succeed in an online course. The success of the course is attributed to alignment of course objectives with content, assessment, and continuous improvement. Students were also exposed to basic information literacy concepts and services available to distance students. Presenters will share lesson learned and participants will learn something they can adopt and customize for their schools.
