Setting expectations and preparing students to make the best possible use of online learning technology is an important best practice. -Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) Report, 2015
The CVC-OEI strives to develop innovative online resources to support existing distance education programs at the California Community Colleges (CCC). With student equity at the forefront of all efforts, the CVC-OEI Student Experience team promotes a holistic approach for the online learning environment. It is important to remember that student support goes beyond instruction, it requires creating a space where students feel connected, supported and understood. This website is meant to provide resources and opportunities to build strategic plans that the CCC can implement at the local level.
