February: Website
Planning
Whether you're creating your first
Student Support website or you're a veteran, take a look at
Website Planning and
Development,
a Monograph article from Helen Torres of San Antonio
College.
Highlighting the work that created
her own college's award winning site
www.accd.edu/sac/online, Ms. Torres also explores support
options for the smaller college - from using student assistants
to field help desk questions to sharing website responsibilities
among a small ad hoc committee.

March: Library Planning
Students at a
distance require the support of a college library as much, if
not more, than students in the classroom. This month's featured
article,
Library Services for Remote Users,
by Marian Jackson, highlights strategies and tools for distance
librarians
Sharing resources, procedures, and technology, Ms. Jackson looks
at the research needs of distance learners in the context of our
Internet culture.
You'll find
links here to many best practices and online resources you'll
want to emulate or use right away.

April: This Month's Feature Article
With the end of the
spring semester approaching rapidly, both students and faculty
are focusing on their upcoming final exams. Exams offer a
special challenge for distance educators - should they be
proctored or not and, if so, how do you find a proctor? Must
they be online or can they still be "pencil & paper?" Or,
should you even test at all, instead moving to a portfolio-type
assessment.
This month's
featured article,
Online
Testing,
by Paul Goertemiller, is a great tool for helping you organize
your thoughts on the online testing process.
