 * "Power Up” Project: Ensuring Student Success in Online Learning**

Dr. Lynda Randall, Professor of Secondary Education in the Division of Academic Affairs and Elahe Amani, Director of Technology Services from Student Affairs collaborated on “Power Up” project to ensure student success in their online/hybrid courses. The project consisted of developing four courses on Time Management, Moodle Learning Management System, Computer Hardware/Software and Guidelines for Success in Online Learning. In addition, the Smarter Measure was used for determining student readiness for online learning. Students were also encouraged to bring their laptops to the session to be tuned up for the course. “Bootcamp” sessions were piloted in Fall of 2011 and fully implemented for Spring 2012. All students registered for one or more online course were identified and informed about the scheduled workshops at the beginning of Spring semester. In this presentation, Dr. Randall and Amani will be sharing learning outcomes of this project.
