MLD & MED Orientation

I've recently had the pleasure of participating in the graduate orientation for both the Master of Education and Master of Leadership Development programs at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Both programs use a hybrid delivery model where students come on campus (or to a local site) for a weekend every other month and participate in webinars and online between the face-2-face weekends. Both programs can be completed in one year.

We use a learning content management system here (Desire2Learn) that has been a very good system for us. In fact, you might want to check out the Fusion Conference to be held in July in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. Anyway, I digress....

What I finally realized, was a need to set up an orientation section in D2L that we could update and more importantly, students would have access to all the information after they return home. I thought you might enjoy some of the PPTs that I shared with them, so I'm uploading them here.
