Review the following, considering which services described are especially important to you in ensuring that your students have equitable opportunities for success. How will you integrate these into the design and instruction of your online classes?

Pages from the MiraCosta DE Handbook:

Student Online Support Services - a complete overview
MiraCosta Canvas Support Resources - detailed options for tech support
Informing and Preparing Students for DE Classes - advice particularly regarding launching online classes

Also important to consider:

Student Orientation to Online Learning - a Canvas course used for a 1-hour workshop offered multiple times in the first several weeks of each semester. See also Further information for faculty about the SOOL.
Reshaping Your School Schedule During Remote Instruction is a great 6-page document produced by MiraCosta's CARE team. It's much more than the title suggests - it includes Zoom etiquette, student success tips for learning online, personal care suggestions tailored to the COVID-19 environment, essential information on MiraCosta student standards of conduct, CARE team contact information, and more.

Finally, there is a Student Support Guide Canvas Module available in Canvas Commons that you can import right into your Canvas classes. This has been custom-created for MiraCosta faculty to incorporate into their classes to help students have all the information they need right within your course. (The link above should enable you to get this module from Canvas Commons in order to add it to your course. Note, you must be signed into Canvas Commons for this link to take you directly to this resource. You can also search Student Support Guide from the Canvas Commons search bar.)

What are some ways that you envision integrating key online support resources and services provided by MiraCosta into your classes to support student success?
