Project Ideal: Student Orientation to Distance Learning (2014)

Project IDEAL is a consortium of states working together to develop effective distance education programs for adult learners. Through collaborative research and practice, the consortium works to raise the quality of distance education across the country.  The stakeholders of this project were looking for an orientation to distance learning for students in the College and Career Readiness programs at Central Piedmont Community College.  College and Career Readiness serves academically under-prepared students whose goals are to finish high school, complete a GED, improve their English skills, or improve their academic skills so they can transition to College and/or career training. 

Upon completion of the orientation, students should be able to:
  • Explain the differences between taking an online course and a face to face course,
  • List readiness skills for successful online learning,
  • Assess their readiness,
  • Explain the responsibilities of a successful distance learning student,
  • Describe the technical and computer proficiency required for taking an online course, and
  • Discuss appropriate strategies for learning and studying in distance education.

​"Shantell Strickland-Davis is such a joy to work with!  She is very knowledgeable in the field of instructional design, and is extremely creative and thoughtful in her design work. I enjoyed working with her because she inspired me to embrace my creative side."
