In March I was named to the Virtual Orientation Task Force and we've been meeting 1/week for about a month. It's an interesting group from all across campus as well as in OCP and UW/CC I never knew how much went into orientation on the campus!
Much of the discussion does not seem overly useful to distance, non-traditional students but it never hurts to listen and examine your own practices.
I believe that much of the material we need already exists online but how to better package it and whether to make it mandatory are two of the questions with which we are struggling.
We have now broken into several sub-groups, three of which I volunteered to join: Transfer - OCP, Transfer - UW and Transfer - UW/CC. Yes, I need to learn to keep my mouth shut...
Anyway, it should continue to be an interesting process.
