Michigan Virtual is currently refining and evaluating an online student orientation course. The purpose of this course is to better prepare students for online learning, provide strategies that help students stay on track in their online courses, and increase their engagement in online courses. The information acquired will help us determine whether an online orientation course has an impact on the likelihood online students successfully complete their online courses and whether it impacts student engagement. It is possible that a student will see the orientation course in the “Academic Snapshot” module of the
Student Learning Portal dashboard.
