CCCOnline Tutoring (Reminder & Invitation for Feedback)

As summer courses draw near, we’d like to remind our instructors about online tutoring:

*CCCOnline students have access to NetTutor (in each course, students will find the NetTutor link in the Helpful Links widget on the left side of their course homepage).

*CCCOnline students enrolled in developmental courses also have access to the Online Tutoring Lab (OTL); the OTL appears as a separate class when these students log in to D2L.

We also invite your feedback. Have your students been using these tutoring services?  Please feel free to share your experiences with the services (or tips on encouraging your students to use them) in the Cultivating Excellence discussion within the CCCOnline Community.

The Great Extra Credit Debate

CCCOnline instructors: do you offer extra credit in your class? What’s your justification for including, or not including, the opportunity for bonus points?

We’d love to hear your thoughts in the CCCOnline Community!

[This article, published last November in Faculty Focus, lists some pros and cons in the great extra credit debate.]

CCCOnline Annual Conference Call for Proposals (Don’t Forget!)
