Orientation & Meet Online Students!
Connect and Become Familiar with your Environment
Drop into one of our optional Orientation and Online networking sessions
Wisconsin Virtual School (WVS) invites you to join us for an Online Orientation to your environment and an opportunity to meet other online students from across the state. WVS students can use the Collaborate Ultra video conferencing tool (like Skype, Google Hangout or Facetime designed to be used with Chrome Browser) from their computer or mobile device. This is the same tool that WVS teachers use to hold "Connect Time" hours each week to provide students with real time support and connect them with their peers in their online course. This session will:
- Provide you with an overview of how to use Collaborate Ultra and other online resources
- Provide you with the opportunity to meet others taking online courses and perhaps the same course as you from around the state
- Review online course expectations and provide students with tools to evaluate their readiness and the technology they are using
- Present useful tips and helpful hints (students we need your voice here)
Develop a Connection With Other Online Students to:
- Socialize with your new online classmates
- Ask others about their online learning experience, tips for being successful in this environment, and more
- Get tutoring help & support
- Practice world languages or other course skills in an ungraded environment
- Work collaboratively on class projects
