Career Services: Blending Support Via The Web
Building community in our online programs is critical to their success. We can do this via discussion boards and peer/instructor engagement. But for alumni relations, campus services and the health of the institution, it is important to also try to blend online students into the fabric of student life. We feel important synergies can be made by bringing online and traditional students together using Elluminate's two-way web conference. This session will describe our experience and best practices. |
Shari McCurdy Smith, Associate Director of the Office of Technology-Enhanced Learning and Tammy Craig is the Director of the Career Development Center, University of Illinois Springfield. |
