Re-Envisioning the Preparation of Students for Online Learning - Joshua Steele and Angela Gunder, Evolllution
At the University of Arizona, after careful considerations and observations of our first incoming cohort, we elected to create a low-stakes, open learning environment that allows the student to engage as much as they feel is necessary prior to the beginning of classes, with access granted three weeks prior to the start of the semester to provide substantive opportunity to learn. To symbolize the journey that students undertake in beginning a degree program, this space was entitled “Launch Pad.”
