Learning Success
Successful learners set goals, develop strategies to achieve those goals and revise strategies when they're not working. Learning online requires you to develop some different strategies in order to keep organized and save time.
To begin with, consider the practical, instrumental aspects of learning outside of the traditional classroom. This means taking care of details, like making sure you have reliable internet service and sufficient online time, setting yourself up with CWL and library access (UBC Card), contacting your instructor early (Contacting Instructors mp3 - 142kb), familiarizing yourself with the course requirements, assignment due dates and examination processes as well as any policies with regard to the administration of the course that you should be aware of. In addition to your course outline (or course syllabus), which you should find on the course website, there are a couple of resources to assist you with this.

Getting Started
Whether you are a new learner to UBC or new to learning online, the first things you will need to take care of involve getting access. You will need the following:
Campus Wide Login (CWL account). This is your personal authentication number and your gateway to many university services and resources, including your online courses.
Internet access - if you don't have this already.
UBC Card - this card (or barcode for those who don't need a card) will offer you access to Library services. If you're not already set up with the items above, click on the topic in the Table of Contents for more information. The next step is preparing yourself for learning. Check out the Learning Success component of the Learning Online module in this orientation. We think we have included some helpful and valuable information to help you get started.

Library & Info Literacy
Libraries are changing. Library resources such as journals and reference books are increasing delivered online right to your desktop. How do we find our way in the maze of resources?
Information from around the world is easily available through the world wide web. But it's overwhelming. How can we find what we need? How do we know what is scholarly?
These questions form the basis of our learning objectives for this module.
The objectives for this module are for you to:
develop some personal goals in the areas of effective online searching, organizing resources and evaluating print and online resources for your own use
develop greater familiarity with some of the online orientation tools and reference desk services provided by the UBC Library
To begin this module, click on the links in Table of Contents for Library & Info Literacy to the left.
