Block 0 includes the correct semester “Orientation Quiz”, a Welcome message, and Getting Started information.
The orientation assignment is used by the college to establish a student’s entry into each online course. It is extremely important that this assignment is placed according to the following requirements:
- The student must DO something in the course, so use the Orientation Quiz provided in the template.
- Block 0 must include the template Orientation Quiz.
- An appropriate due date is set that reflects the 10% reporting requirements.
By welcoming learners to the course and providing context for what they will be learning, the instructor sets a tone for success from the start of the course.
In addition to knowing how and where to get started, learners need to know how to proceed when they first access an online course. Visual clues and simple notations, like “start here”, and “before you move on”, help guide learners through learning materials and activities
NOTE: A default Welcome message, Getting Started section and Orientation assignment are included in the course template. You are required to use only the Oreintation Quiz. If you create your own material, remember to delete the items already included.
