System Announcements CBC Student Support Services (Thursday, February 18, 2021) Dear Students, As we all move through the rest of the semester and any challenges we may encounter, we want to ensure that you have the necessary support to assist you virtually/online. Below are some Remote Learning Strategies that we hope you find helpful. Practice with the technology : Ensure that you know how to navigate Blackboard (BB); all students have an orientation in their BB account which you can review. Carefully review all posts from your instructor, including course expectations in the syllabus. Communicate regularly with your instructor : Ask questions and take advantage of opportunities to connect with your instructor through email and online office hours. Engage with your peers : The more you engage in class discussions and seek out opportunities for the community with your classmates, you will form an increased sense of ownership of your learning. Develop a schedule : You may have more flexibility, but the demands of coursework within a remote learning environment can be a challenge. Set aside dedicated time to complete course work and chose a location that will be conducive for learning. Take digital breaks : Try to avoid digital overload and step away from the screen for about 15-30 minutes for every hour of work. Source: adapted from an online webpage from Amherst College. CBC Student Support Services Academic Support : Please reach out to your instructor for any course-related questions; check the course syllabus for your instructor's preferred method of communication. Access online tutoring 24/7 with TutorMe; the link to access this online platform is located on your Blackboard homepage.
