 * Helping Your Students Get Online**

Are your online students often surprised or overwhelmed by the idiosyncrasies of learning online? Do they arrive in your virtual classrooms with unrealistic expectations regarding the workload and the levels of interaction/participation? If so, please join Dr. Susan Manning and Kevin Johnson, authors of //Online Education for Dummies//, as they share their ideas about how institutions can better prepare students for transitioning to the online environment. Participants will also be asked to share their own success stories.

All Audiences support orientation

Both Susan and Kevin are experienced synchronous instructors and would like to extend a dialog as to how individuals and institutions approach recruiting, orienting and supporting new students.
