Description
                  Although many institutions offer their learners orientations to online learning, not all instructors offer a specific orientation to their course. Both orientations are beneficial to the online learning environment and to the course, but they accomplish different objectives. Providing a Course Orientation allows learners to familiarize themselves with the information and expectations that are critical to each course they are taking. Using the QM Rubric as a guide, an orientation can be developed to fit each of your classes that will enhance student comfort and performance while increasing their completion and success.
