OEI Student Success Fall 2015
This document provides information about online student support services available through the Online Education Initiative (OEI). It discusses readiness workshops and multimedia tutorials to help students prepare for online learning. Tutoring resources like NetTutor and WorldWideWhiteboard are promoted. Basic skills support modules are presented in topics like English, math, reading, library research, and ESL that faculty can embed in their online courses. Examples are given of how to integrate these resources for assignments involving writing, reading, sociology, economics, and psychology courses. The goal is to help students successfully complete course requirements by referring them to relevant instructional and personal support services.

- 32. Example – Mathematics(PSYCH) The average IQ score on an IQ test is 100. Standard deviations describe how data are dispersed in a population and give context to large data sets. The bell curve uses the standard deviation to show how all scores are dispersed from the average score (Figure). In modern IQ testing, one standard deviation is 15 points. So a score of 85 would be described as “one standard deviation below the mean.” How would you describe a score of 115 and a score of 70? Any IQ score that falls within one standard deviation above and below the mean (between 85 and 115) is considered average, and 82% of the population has IQ scores in this range. An IQ score of 130 or above is considered a superior level. ** From Psychology by OpenStax College, CC BY Solution: “Need help?

Editor's Notes
- #7 Require all students to introduce themselves on first day of class on discussion thread. On second day of class, welcome a fellow student who has something in common with them. See if students can follow instructions. Mini-assignments in first week of class. Stake is not large – 1-2 points each. Go and find…. Try a tool….Assess at end of week who has completed tasks and contact students who have not done them. Individually contact those students. Biweekly discussions. Contact students who miss two assignments in a row. Faculty presence is important. Early alert. Time management is biggest problem for most students, not content competency. Watch student progress via CMS and using widgets.
