Unit Three: Planning Your EducationThis is a featured page


Conceptual:
  1. Unit Three introduces e-learning opportunities through OhioLearns! that can meet students’ interests. Exercises focus on helping students learn how to use tools in OhioLearns! to accurately receive search results.

Informational:
  1. Students are asked to complete a search of the courses in OhioLearns! and submit the results to the instructor. The following is a copy of the assignment:

  2. During the course completion process, instructors are asked to compile all of the student’s Catalog Search assignments into a single Word document and send it to the E 4 ME Program Coordinator.

  3. Courses in OhioLearns! are updated daily. At any point in time, however, a limited number will appear, since course starting dates trigger their appearance. Students often will need to be reminded of this. To see which courses are available, as opposed to courses being currently offered, students should manipulate the “Starting Date” tool located in the Course Catalog search function.

  4. Courses in OhioLearns! are weighted toward general education requirements, business and management courses, and some IT and computer courses, with a variety of courses from other disciplines. A few lab sciences are offered. Baccalaureate courses are the most represented in the catalog, followed by graduate courses. There are few non-credit courses.

  5. Students should check to see at what percentage a course or degree is offered at a distance.

  6. There are no degrees in OhioLearns! that lead to teacher certification. There are graduate education courses, however, for teachers seeking professional development.

  7. To register for a course or to find out more about a degree or certificate program, students should use the institutional contact listed on the degree or course transition page in OhioLearns!.

  8. Any instructor with questions about OhioLearns! should contact the E 4 ME Program Coordinator.

Relational:
  1. Students may need reassurance if they do not initially receive the type of results from course and degree searches that they had anticipated. An explanation of how courses and degrees appear in OhioLearns! might need to be reiterated.

  2. Students should be encouraged to look through other distance learning sites that can be acquired through an Internet search.

  3. The categorization of “degrees by interest” patterns in the Degree Catalog is intended to be a general grouping. Make sure the students understand that just because a particular degree or certificate does not exactly match the results of their self-assessment, it does not mean that they shouldn’t pursue it.
