My Online Readiness Experience

My Online Readiness Experience (MORE) is a self-paced, interactive, and engaging onboarding and technology readiness course designed to prepare all new Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) students to succeed both in the classroom and in Tri-C's online learning environment. MORE helps students develop study skills, navigate technology, and practice academic communication skills. These three areas are broken down into modules that instruct and assess students on basic technology skills, including how to access a computer and the Internet and how to utilize Microsoft Word and email. Students are also introduced to Blackboard Learn, where they are exposed to basic Blackboard navigation, discussion board participation, and assignment submission. Additionally, MORE provides students with insight about their time management skills, ability to work independently, personal study habits, and appropriate academic communication skills.
