In this training, through a series of self-paced modules, students will learn and practice key features of D2L including: how to submit homework in the Dropbox, how to communicate with instructors and classmates, how to take a quiz, how to check their grades, and much more.
ALC Workshop Series
These workshops are designed to help improve students’ academic preparedness, understanding of technology at CCA, promote skill development, and more. For workshop topics and dates, visit ALC Workshop Series Schedule.
SI: Supplemental Instruction
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a non-remedial approach to learning that supports students toward academic success by integrating “what to learn” with “how to learn.” SI consists of free, regularly scheduled group study sessions driven by students’ needs. Sessions are facilitated by trained peer leaders who utilize collaborative activities to help students develop effective learning strategies while engaging with the most difficult course material. SI is currently offered in select sections of English Composition I and College Biology I.
