Welcome

The Online Education Initiative (OEI) has developed the Online Student Readiness Tutorials, a series of interactive multimedia tutorials that address the real challenges experienced by online students, new and experienced, while pursuing success in online classes. Therefore the goal of these tutorials is to assist California community college students with developing the skills required to be successful in an online course.

Through a variety of engaging activities and resources, these tutorials will help prepare students for greater success in the online learning environment. All of the tutorials are intended to improve the rates of success and retention in online courses. Tutorials 1-6 focus on skill development for new online students, while the remaining tutorials identify resources and strategies to assist the experience online student with timely course and degree completion. Along with the tutorials we have provided a set of interactive tools that are useful to students as they continue their academic pursuits.

Please Note:

The OEI will periodically update the modules at this site, however the OEI is not committed to updating any downloaded files, which have been repurposed at your campus. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to periodically check  this site, in order to access the most recent version of these multimedia tutorials. Also, many of you will find new and innovative ways to utilize these e-learning tools at your campuses; we invite you to share with us the various ways that you have incorporated them into your college’s online student success initiatives.

Thanks for your continued support of  the success of California’s online community college students. 

Sincerely,

OEI Online Student Support Services Team
