Excited. Overwhelmed. Nervous. These are just a few of the feelings that many incoming students experience at the beginning of their college journeys. Corinne O\u2019Bryan, Transylvania\u2019s assistant director of student success, is working to make those initial feelings more manageable \u2014 and make the amount of information that new students receive more digestible \u2014 by creating a digital course to accompany Transylvania\u2019s First Engagements Week<\/a>, a time prior to the start of each fall term that is set aside for intensive orientation activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O\u2019Bryan, who has long been passionate about digital educational environments and effective digital communication, recently took classes in learning technology and the foundations of instructional design through the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. These courses helped her realize that digital learning just might be the ideal tool to help students process and retain the information they receive about their new home away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of students are so overwhelmed during First Engagements week that they can\u2019t really absorb that information,\u201d O\u2019Bryan noted, \u201cso we want to present it in a way where they can go back and check. It\u2019s really just a tool to further ensure that they are successfully onboarded to the university. It tries to supplement the stuff we\u2019re already doing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course \u2014 which will be called Fall 2023 Orientation and is offered through Canvas, a web-based learning management system \u2014 is designed to prepare incoming Pioneers for First Engagements activities, whether they are a first-year student or transferring to Transy from another institution. \u201cWe\u2019re really trying to engage with both populations and onboard students into the Transy community whether they have been in college before or not,\u201d O\u2019Bryan said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To that end, she hopes to release the course in July so that students have the opportunity to review its helpful information before move-in day on Aug. 25. While there is a preordained course path, O\u2019Bryan deliberately designed the material to allow students to easily navigate through the information and search for the topics that they need, incorporating basic knowledge checks to reinforce learning without setting up roadblocks to course completion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also used the course shell as a way to centralize all of the helpful material on the Transy website. \u201cA lot of the information was already out there,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was just about getting it into one place in a cohesive manner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The digital course will encompass topics including what to expect during First Engagements week, how to build an on-campus community and what it means to attend a liberal arts institution. O\u2019Bryan has included photos of faculty and staff members so that students can easily connect names and faces, instructions about how to join the campus Discord server and information about academic resources, giving students a leg up before they ever step foot onto campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a lot of Transy-specific language,\u201d O\u2019Bryan acknowledged, citing CAPE<\/a> \u2014 the university\u2019s Center for Academic and Professional Enrichment \u2014 as one example. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to make those connections before students even get here and onboard them into the Transy lingo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O\u2019Bryan added that students who are transitioning from high school to college often struggle to know how to find help and access resources that they need. \u201cI think the cornerstone of everything is being able to ask questions and to know who to ask,\u201d she said. \u201cThis course fills that gap.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
