The document outlines the objectives and content of a new student orientation course at Cleary University. The course is designed to prepare incoming students for success by teaching them how to navigate the online classroom, evaluate their skills, understand academic policies, and identify resources. It provides an overview of the course organization, modules, discussions, and surveys. Implementing the course standardized the online classroom model and received positive feedback from students after revisions based on lessons learned. Future modifications are planned to tailor the content for different student populations and keep it up to date.
