More Training For Students Before They Go Online? - The eLearners News Blog - The eLearners News Blog - eLearners.com Community: Online Education and Distance Learning Discussion Forums & Blogs: More Training For Students Before They Go Online?

...the problem is that students, even if prepared for academic study, aren't prepared specifically for study online. To fix this, he suggests that students be vetted for this before starting their online courses:
Every college that offers online courses should require students to pass an online orientation. I'm envisioning a one-credit course, taken online, that covers the technical requirements of online classes, familiarizes students with the pedagogical approaches they can expect, addresses candidly the time commitment and degree of responsibility and motivation required, and essentially teaches students how to take a course online.

Big Data Means Big Need for BI-Educated College Grads | SmartData Collective

Big Data Means Big Need for BI-Educated College Grads | SmartData Collective: "We issued the results of a survey recently that showed today’s college graduates are not adequately prepared to work in business intelligence. It seems that students lack critical skills in part because universities take a siloed approach to teaching. Sound familiar? Students either learn the basics of business, or they learn the technology, but not how to use that technology to support the business needs of the companies they go to work for after graduation. That sounds uncomfortably familiar too.
