==The SoTL Community of Practice==

The SoTL Community of Practice (CoP) launched in spring 2013 as a way to engage and connect those interested in taking a scholarly approach to teaching and learning at UBC. The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), as defined collectively by the [http://www.issotl.com/ International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning], is "scholarly inquiry into student learning which advances the practice of teaching by making research findings public." The SoTL Community of Practice provides a venue for those engaging in SoTL across all academic disciplines to share their work, learn from the approaches of others, and engage with current SoTL research.

Meeting topics and structure are decided at community meetings taking into account member interests, emerging trends in teaching and learning, and UBC priorities. The SoTL CoP is open to all members of the teaching and learning community involved and/or interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning.

TerriKennedy: /* Where Do I Start? Accessing My Online Course */

This section includes some useful information on what to expect and where to access certain materials you will be using for your course.

==Where Do I Start? Accessing My Online Course==

Just before the start of the course, you will receive an email notice outlining the procedure to access your online learning course, as well as other relevant details (i.e. instructor email, textbook information). Please ensure your email address entry on the [https://ssc.adm.ubc.ca/sscportal/servlets/SRVSSCFramework Student Service Centre] is correct as otherwise you might miss important information.

To log into your online course, log in to [http://canvas.ubc.ca ''Canvas''] with your CWL.

Visit the [https://students.canvas.ubc.ca/category/canvas-blog/ Canvas blog]—written by UBC students on the Canvas Project Team—for tips on things like [https://students.canvas.ubc.ca/top-5-tips-for-canvas-quizzes/ acing Canvas quizzes] and using the [https://students.canvas.ubc.ca/what-if-grades-in-canvas/ “What-if?” Grade tool] to figure out what your hypothetical final mark in a class could be, depending on different grade scenarios.

If you have questions about Canvas, check out this list of helpful [https://students.canvas.ubc.ca/help/ Canvas resources] or the [https://students.canvas.ubc.ca/faq/ Canvas FAQ].

Course materials can be purchased through the [http://bookstore.ubc.ca/home UBC Bookstore].

==What Should I Expect from My Instructor?==

Your instructor is your guide through the course content. He or she may contact you at the beginning of the course as an introduction.

'''At any point in the course, if you are struggling with the material or are concerned that you are not keeping up for whatever reason, it is important to contact your instructor.''' He or she may assist you in determining the best course of action. Sometimes your instructor will consult with Learner Support and/or Academic Advisors offering assistance to you in the distance education process.

You can contact your instructor by telephone, mail, and/or email. If your course is online, you will likely use email, however most instructors are available by telephone as well. Contact information for your instructor will be included in the course package or posted on the course website (if applicable).

Distance Education Learning Resources

2019-04-18T16:18:09Z

TerriKennedy: /* Distance Online */

These are learning resources that may be helpful to participants registered in distance learning courses. These links are all available through [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/ UBC's Learning Commons].

== Academic Support ==

UBC's Learning Commons is your online resource for academic support. Here you will find what you need to help develop your academic skills – everything from tutoring to online librarians. The Learning Commons has resources and opportunities for students all across the spectrum of learning. Whether you’re looking for skill development or a unique academic challenge, you’ll find it here. You may also need to talk to an academic advisor about your studies. The following resource may help:

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/tutoring-studying/academic-advising/ Academic Advising]

'''Academic Integrity'''

Academic misconduct is a serious issue and cause for harsh academic discipline – including expulsion from the University. Here are some resources to familiarize yourself with policies and processes around plagiarism as well as how to avoid it.

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/resource-guides/avoiding-plagiarism/ Academic Integrity]

== Exam Preparation and Support ==

Anyone who has ever taken an important test or exam knows how stressful it can be. One way you can alleviate some of the stress is to be prepared and plan enough time in your schedule for study. The following resources offer some practical and usable suggestions for exam preparation.

* [https://learningcommons.ubc.ca/tutoring-studying/tutoring/ Tutoring]
* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/student-toolkits-2/preparing-for-exams/ Preparing for Exams Toolkit]

For more information about Exams in distance learning, check out the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology's [http://ctlt.ubc.ca/distance-learning/learner-support/policies-and-procedures-2/ Learner Support - Policies and Procedures] section or the list of final exam deadlines on the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses-registration/distance-education/final-exam-deadlines Student Services] website.

== Distance Online ==

Distance learning is a rewarding and challenging experience for many. It is different from most other distance learning modes of instruction in that you become part of a community of learners in a particular subject. Different from the traditional “independent study”, you will be logging on to your course website with fellow learners and your instructor, participating in asynchronous online discussion, and perhaps working in collaboration with others on group assignments.

If you haven’t tried an online course yet, you may want to browse through some of the resources below to help you get a feel for it.

All courses take place on UBC’s Learning Management System, [https://students.canvas.ubc.ca Canvas].

If you have questions about Canvas, check out this [https://students.canvas.ubc.ca/help/ list of helpful Canvas resources] or the [https://students.canvas.ubc.ca/faq/ Canvas FAQ].

To learn more about how to be successful in an online course, view the resource link below.

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/resource-guides/online-learners/ Resources for Distance/Online Learners] 

'''Communicating Online'''

Netiquette is all about the code of behaviour established for communicating online. The rules for netiquette will vary, depending on the context (formal/informal); the people (known/unknown to each other) and the activity. The following resource will help you be aware and communicate effectively online.

* [https://distancelearning.ubc.ca/learner-support/communicating-online-netiquette/ Communicating Online]

== Library ==

For information about accessing library materials, as a distance education student, please visit the [http://services.library.ubc.ca/user-guides/distance-education-students/ Distance Education Students section of the UBC Library website].

You can access research help, library databases, and distance library services all from home simply by logging in using the Library's [http://services.library.ubc.ca/personal-computers/connect-from-home/ EZproxy Login]. All you need is a valid [http://it.ubc.ca/services/accounts-passwords/campus-wide-login-cwl Campus-Wide Login (CWL)] or [http://ubccard.ubc.ca/ UBC Card].

'''Research Help'''

Start your research by using the Library’s new search tool: [http://www.library.ubc.ca/ Summon]. Summon is a one-stop search tool that allows you to search for print and e-books, journal articles, statistical data, government documents, theses/dissertations, and much more all at once.
*Every branch of the Library has staff members who can help you find what you need. Can’t find an article for your term paper? Don’t hesitate to [http://help.library.ubc.ca/ask-colorbox '''Ask Us'''] for assistance via email, online chat, or by phone.
*The library also has tailor-made research guides designed to help you find the best sources for your research. You can find a guide for every discipline taught at UBC as well as multidisciplinary topics like Grey Literature, Sustainability, and Portfolio creation.

''' Borrowing Books'''

As a [http://services.library.ubc.ca/user-guides/distance-education-students/registering-for-distance-learning-library-services/ registered] Distance Education student your loan period for UBC books is 28 days (undergraduate) or 56 days (graduate). Both are subject to recall by another borrower. You can renew library materials online through [http://services.library.ubc.ca/borrowing-services/library-account/ My Library Account] except for items recalled by another borrower. Books and other materials are delivered by mail free of charge within Canada and the US and take from 10 days to 2 weeks for processing and delivery. Please allow adequate time.

To register for home delivery of library materials, please complete the Library’s [http://services.library.ubc.ca/user-guides/distance-education-students/registering-for-distance-learning-library-services/ online registration form].

== Keys to Success ==

Learning by distance can be a great way to accomplish your educational goals. There are a few things you need to know before you get started. We’re sure that this will help you to get things off to a smooth start.

'''Time Management'''

Time management begins to take on a somewhat mythical quality with learners at university. There never seems to be enough time and what there is seems to become unmanageable quickly! Following are some resources which may serve as useful reminders about planning and managing your life so that you have some time to enjoy.

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/student-toolkits-2/managing-your-time/ Time Management Toolkit]
* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/tutoring-studying/assignment-calculator/ The Assignment Calculator]

== Motivation ==

You are more likely to achieve your academic goals if you are clear about what those goals are. For some people, a university degree is a goal in itself. For others, completing courses, degrees or programs of study will help them to reach career goals or acquire knowledge needed in their current jobs. Preparing yourself for learning often begins with a process of reflection. Here is a resource to get you stared:

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/tutoring-studying/selfassessment/the-reflection-process/ The Reflection Process]

== Reading & Writing ==

'''Reading'''

Reading for university requires you to move beyond reading for information towards reading for understanding. In order to do your own research and synthesize ideas from several sources, you will need to read critically – asking questions and checking your understanding as you go.

The following resources may be useful to you in developing and refining your reading skills:

TerriKennedy: /* Distance Online */

These are learning resources that may be helpful to participants registered in distance learning courses. These links are all available through [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/ UBC's Learning Commons].

== Academic Support ==

UBC's Learning Commons is your online resource for academic support. Here you will find what you need to help develop your academic skills – everything from tutoring to online librarians. The Learning Commons has resources and opportunities for students all across the spectrum of learning. Whether you’re looking for skill development or a unique academic challenge, you’ll find it here. You may also need to talk to an academic advisor about your studies. The following resource may help:

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/tutoring-studying/academic-advising/ Academic Advising]

'''Academic Integrity'''

Academic misconduct is a serious issue and cause for harsh academic discipline – including expulsion from the University. Here are some resources to familiarize yourself with policies and processes around plagiarism as well as how to avoid it.

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/resource-guides/avoiding-plagiarism/ Academic Integrity]

== Exam Preparation and Support ==

Anyone who has ever taken an important test or exam knows how stressful it can be. One way you can alleviate some of the stress is to be prepared and plan enough time in your schedule for study. The following resources offer some practical and usable suggestions for exam preparation.

* [https://learningcommons.ubc.ca/tutoring-studying/tutoring/ Tutoring]
* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/student-toolkits-2/preparing-for-exams/ Preparing for Exams Toolkit]

For more information about Exams in distance learning, check out the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology's [http://ctlt.ubc.ca/distance-learning/learner-support/policies-and-procedures-2/ Learner Support - Policies and Procedures] section or the list of final exam deadlines on the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses-registration/distance-education/final-exam-deadlines Student Services] website.

== Distance Online ==

Distance learning is a rewarding and challenging experience for many. It is different from most other distance learning modes of instruction in that you become part of a community of learners in a particular subject. Different from the traditional “independent study”, you will be logging on to your course website with fellow learners and your instructor, participating in asynchronous online discussion, and perhaps working in collaboration with others on group assignments.

If you haven’t tried an online course yet, you may want to browse through some of the resources below to help you get a feel for it.

All courses take place on UBC’s Learning Management System, [https://students.canvas.ubc.ca Canvas].

If you have questions about Canvas, check out this [https://students.canvas.ubc.ca/help/ list of helpful Canvas resources] or the [https://students.canvas.ubc.ca/faq/ Canvas FAQ].

To learn more about how to be successful in an online course, view the resource link below.

'''Communicating Online'''

Netiquette is all about the code of behavior established for communicating online. The rules for netiquette will vary, depending on the context (formal/informal); the people (known/unknown to each other) and the activity. The following resource will help you be aware and communicate effectively online.

* [http://ctlt.ubc.ca/distance-learning/learner-support/communicating-online-netiquette/ Communicating Online]

== Library ==

For information about accessing library materials, as a distance education student, please visit the [http://services.library.ubc.ca/user-guides/distance-education-students/ Distance Education Students section of the UBC Library website].

You can access research help, library databases, and distance library services all from home simply by logging in using the Library's [http://services.library.ubc.ca/personal-computers/connect-from-home/ EZproxy Login]. All you need is a valid [http://it.ubc.ca/services/accounts-passwords/campus-wide-login-cwl Campus-Wide Login (CWL)] or [http://ubccard.ubc.ca/ UBC Card].

'''Research Help'''

Start your research by using the Library’s new search tool: [http://www.library.ubc.ca/ Summon]. Summon is a one-stop search tool that allows you to search for print and e-books, journal articles, statistical data, government documents, theses/dissertations, and much more all at once.
*Every branch of the Library has staff members who can help you find what you need. Can’t find an article for your term paper? Don’t hesitate to [http://help.library.ubc.ca/ask-colorbox '''Ask Us'''] for assistance via email, online chat, or by phone.
*The library also has tailor-made research guides designed to help you find the best sources for your research. You can find a guide for every discipline taught at UBC as well as multidisciplinary topics like Grey Literature, Sustainability, and Portfolio creation.

''' Borrowing Books'''

As a [http://services.library.ubc.ca/user-guides/distance-education-students/registering-for-distance-learning-library-services/ registered] Distance Education student your loan period for UBC books is 28 days (undergraduate) or 56 days (graduate). Both are subject to recall by another borrower. You can renew library materials online through [http://services.library.ubc.ca/borrowing-services/library-account/ My Library Account] except for items recalled by another borrower. Books and other materials are delivered by mail free of charge within Canada and the US and take from 10 days to 2 weeks for processing and delivery. Please allow adequate time.

To register for home delivery of library materials, please complete the Library’s [http://services.library.ubc.ca/user-guides/distance-education-students/registering-for-distance-learning-library-services/ online registration form].

== Keys to Success ==

Learning by distance can be a great way to accomplish your educational goals. There are a few things you need to know before you get started. We’re sure that this will help you to get things off to a smooth start.

'''Time Management'''

Time management begins to take on a somewhat mythical quality with learners at university. There never seems to be enough time and what there is seems to become unmanageable quickly! Following are some resources which may serve as useful reminders about planning and managing your life so that you have some time to enjoy.

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/student-toolkits-2/managing-your-time/ Time Management Toolkit]
* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/tutoring-studying/assignment-calculator/ The Assignment Calculator]

== Motivation ==

You are more likely to achieve your academic goals if you are clear about what those goals are. For some people, a university degree is a goal in itself. For others, completing courses, degrees or programs of study will help them to reach career goals or acquire knowledge needed in their current jobs. Preparing yourself for learning often begins with a process of reflection. Here is a resource to get you stared:

Are you an Instructional Designer who is involved in supporting faculty to improve their learning environment or teaching practice? Interested in knocking down walls and connecting with other Instructional Designers?

The Instructional Design (ID) Community of Practice aims to be "a self-sustaining community where like-minded members connect with others, online and face to face, about integrating technology, discussing hot topics, exchanging best practices, sharing the latest tricks for technology tools, trading examples of delivery methods, collaborating for research, exploring evaluation techniques, and much more..."

The ID Community of Practice is co-facilitated by two Instructional Designers:
*[mailto:afsaneh.sharif@ubc.ca Afsaneh Sharif], PhD, Senior Instructional Designer/Project Manager at the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology
*[mailto:justin.student@ubc.ca Justin Student], MA, Instructional Designer, Educational Technology Unit, Faculty of Medicine

Are you interested in designing curricula to give students real-life experiences in community settings? How might you bring this component into your course? Related topics include how to evaluate this type of student learning, how to encourage students to reflect critically on the links between their community experience and their course work, and how to work effectively with community organizations. We lead customized seminars on the above topics campus-wide, within departments and faculties, and one-on-one.

==Appropriate Use of Technology Policy==
[[File:Technology-policy_web-290x200.jpg]]

'''General Responsibilities'''

Subscribers to courses supported by the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology have certain general responsibilities that they must agree to. These are outlined in the following two sections.

'''Appropriate Use Guidelines'''

The University of British Columbia is committed to ensuring a working and learning environment in which all persons treat others with humanity and respect.

The computing and communication facilities and services provided by CTLT are primarily intended for teaching, research, and administrative purposes. The use of these services is governed by all applicable University policies, including: the Human Rights, Sexual Harassment, Patents and Licensing and Student Discipline policies, as well as by all applicable Canadian federal, provincial and local laws and statutes, including the Criminal Code of Canada, the B.C. Civil Rights Protection Act and by the B.C. Human Rights Act. These are supplemented by the appropriate use policies and guidelines established by those networks to which UBC’s campus network is interconnected, i.e. the Internet, which includes, for example, Bcnet and CA*net.

The user bears the primary responsibility for the material that he or she chooses to access, send or display. The computer facilities may not be used in any manner that contravenes the above policies, laws or statutes. Those who do not adhere to these guidelines may be subject to suspension of computing privileges.

Abuse of these computing facilities should be reported to the Manager of Web Strategy and IT, '''Novak Rogic''' at 604-805-6120 or by email at [mailto:novak.rogic@ubc.ca novak.rogic@ubc.ca].

Use of CTLT computing services denotes that the applicant has read and understands the guidelines available on-line and also denotes acceptance of the above-stated terms of use.

'''Responsible Use of Information Technology Facilities and Services'''

Responsible use of computing and communications facilities and services requires that you:

1. respect the legal protection provided by copyright and license to programs and data
2. respect the rights of others by complying with all University policies regarding intellectual property
3. respect the rights of others by complying with all University policies regarding sexual, racial and other forms of harassment, and by preserving the privacy of personal data to which you have access.
4. respect the privacy of others by not tampering with their files, tapes, passwords, or accounts, or representing others when messaging or conferencing.
5. use only computer IDs or accounts and communication facilities which you are duly authorized to use, and use them for the purposes for which they were intended.
6. respect the integrity of computing systems and data; for example, by not intentionally developing programs or making use of already existing programs that harass other users, or infiltrate a computer or computing system, and/or damage or alter the software components of a computer or computing system, or gain unauthorized access to other facilities accessible via the network.
7. use computing and communications facilities in a manner which is consistent with the ethical principles set forth by the University and with accepted community standards.
8. respect and adhere to any local, provincial or federal law which may govern use of these computing and communication facilities in Canada. These include, but are not limited to, the Criminal Code of Canada, the B.C. Civil Rights Protection Act and the B.C. Human Rights Act.

'''Inappropriate Use'''

Certain activities are considered inappropriate use of computing facilities. These include electronic chain letters, pyramid schemes, mass-mailing of unsolicited e-mail, and “spamming”. Spamming refers to the mass posting of a single message to multiple Usenet newsgroups regardless of whether the message is relevant to each group’s topic.

Documentation:Distance Learning Support/Policies and Procedures

2016-01-05T23:22:44Z

TerriKennedy:

Here are some policies and procedures of which you should be aware when you are taking distance learning courses

==Exams==

Enrolment Services manages examinations for most distance learning courses. Online examinations are not administered by Enrolment Services, and you should contact your instructor with any questions you may have. For more information, please view the list of final exam deadlines on the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses-registration/distance-education/final-exam-deadlines Student Services] website.

You may also want to review a list of exam periods, guidelines, policies, and FAQ on the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses/distance-education/exams Student Services] website.

==Course Completions / Accelerations==

You should note the end date for your course when you register. You can also check for the final month date on your course schedule. This is the month your course effectively ends.

In some cases it is possible to complete your course before the end date - that depends, however, on the course design. Check with the course instructor, before registering, to see if you can accelerate through the course.

Accelerating a course means completing the course work and writing the final examination during an earlier examination period than the scheduled course completion date. If you have permission from the instructor to move ahead at a faster pace (accelerate), you must apply (by the application deadline) to write your exam early. Please attach an email/letter from your instructor indicating his/her permission to accelerate to the application form.

For information about course accelerations, please visit the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses-registration/distance-education/course-acceleration Enrolment Services] website.

==Course Repeats==

You may choose to repeat a course either to improve your GPA or to gain mastery over subject matter that is important to your degree and academic goals. However, before repeating a course, you should discuss this with your Faculty. Each Faculty may have different regulations and policies about repeating courses. You should also note the following:

*The grade received for the course first time around will remain on your academic record.
*You will not receive additional credit for the repeated course (Arts).
*Your instructor may require you to submit different assignments on a repeat course. You will need to discuss expectations and requirements with your instructor at the start of the term.

Here are some questions to ask yourself before you commit to repeating a course:

*Am I aware of the regulations for advancement for my faculty? See the resources below.
*Have I discussed the requirements for repeating my course with my instructor? Am I clear about whether or not I will be able to re-submit previous work with changes?
*Am I clear about my reasons for completing the course?

'''You might wish to repeat a course because:'''

*You withdrew the first time you attempted the course.
*You failed the course the first time you registered in it.
*You want to improve your grade.

Repeating a course means that you must re-register and pay the full tuition and related fees. Each attempt at a course appears on your transcript.

Here are some links to UBC policy regarding academic advancement, for your reference:

*[http://www.students.ubc.ca/calendar/index.cfm?tree=3,43,0,0 UBC-Vancouver: Policy on Academic Advancement]
*[http://okanagan.students.ubc.ca/calendar/index.cfm?tree=3,41,93,0#11162 UBC-Okanagan: Policy on Academic Advancement]

==Course Extensions==

Extending a course means completing the course and writing the final examination during the next available examination period immediately following the scheduled course completion date.

For information about course extensions, please visit the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses-registration/distance-education/course-extensions Enrolment Services] website.

'''What do I do if I can’t complete the course before the end date?'''

Academic concessions such as course extensions are granted on medical or compassionate grounds as outlined by [http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/index.cfm?tree=3,48,0,0 UBC policy] and require supporting documentation and permission from your course instructor.

==Deadlines and Withdrawals==

For information about course withdrawals and refunds, please visit the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses-registration/distance-education/withdrawal-and-refunds Enrolment Services] website.

==Grades==
Your final grade will be entered approximately 2-3 weeks following the final examination.

You may appeal your final grade through a review of assigned standing. Requests for formal appeal must be made through Enrolment Services. Please visit the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/grades/review-assigned-standing review of assigned standing] section on the Enrolment Services website for information about appealing your final grade.

'''Before considering a formal appeal, you should:'''

*Discuss your concern with your instructor
*Arrange to view your final exam. This must be arranged through the Academic Department to which the course belongs.

Click here for UBC [http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/index.cfm?tree=3,42,0,0 grading practices]. Visit the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/grades Student Services website] to learn more about grades.

==Plagiarism==

Plagiarism means that you have:

*Used another person’s words or ideas without acknowledging the source.
*Allowed a friend to complete all or a portion of your work.
*Submitted someone else’s work as your own.
*Allowed a reviewer to make extensive revisions to an assignment.
*Used information from an online discussion forum or website without proper citation.

To avoid plagiarism:

*Give credit with proper citation to all sources from which you have quoted directly or borrowed ideas. This includes any and all visual or verbal communication containing content which originates from an identifiable source.

Academic misconduct is a serious issue and cause for academic discipline – including expulsion from the University. To learn more about policies and processes around plagiarism and how to avoid it, visit the [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/resource-guides/avoiding-plagiarism/ Avoid Plagiarism] section on the UBC Learning Commons website.

To learn more about academic misconduct, visit the [http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/?tree=3,54,111,0 academic misconduct] section of the Academic Calendar.

UBC subscribes to the Turnitin Suite that includes a set of tools to improve the student writing cycle by preventing plagiarism and providing rich feedback to students. Learn more about [http://elearning.ubc.ca/toolkit/turnitin/ Turnitin] on the e-learning website.

==Student Evaluation of Teaching==

Your feedback regarding your experience in the courses you take is valuable to instructors, faculty, administrators and course design teams as we revise and rework courses and curriculum to better meet the learning needs of students.

All UBC courses are evaluated online via a service called CoursEval. Near the end of your course, you will be sent a link to login to CoursEval and evaluate your course instructors.

For more information about student evaluation of teaching at UBC, see the [http://www.vpacademic.ubc.ca/ policy documents] on the VP Academic’s web page. To learn about how to evaluate your professor in the most useful way, see [http://teacheval.ubc.ca/resources/for-students/ Tips for Evaluating Instructors].

==Transfer Credits==

If you are planning to transfer credit for a UBC course to another institution, check with the other institution first about its policies regarding transfer credit. You may also consult the [http://bccat.ca/ BC Council on Admissions & Transfer website].

==The SoTL Community of Practice==

The SoTL Community of Practice (CoP) launched in spring 2013 as a way to engage and connect those interested in taking a scholarly approach to teaching and learning at UBC. The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), as defined collectively by the [http://www.issotl.com/ International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning], is "scholarly inquiry into student learning which advances the practice of teaching by making research findings public." The SoTL Community of Practice provides a venue for those engaging in SoTL across all academic disciplines to share their work, learn from the approaches of others, and engage with current SoTL research.

Meeting topics and structure are decided at community meetings taking into account member interests, emerging trends in teaching and learning, and UBC priorities. The SoTL CoP is open to all members of the teaching and learning community involved and/or interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning.

Documentation:Distance Learning Support/Course Participation

2015-10-30T18:23:57Z

TerriKennedy:

In this section, you will find some useful information on how you can participate in your online learning course supported by the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology.

==How do I Contact my Instructor?==

If you need to contact your instructor by phone, please follow these directions:

* If the call is local, just proceed as usual. If the call is long distance, you may call your instructor directly and ask her or him to return your call.
* If you are having difficulty reaching your instructor and don’t know why, please contact the [mailto:distance.education@ubc.ca Learner Support Advisors] in Brock Hall for assistance.

==Estimated Weekly Time Commitment of a Distance Course==

To be successful in an online learning course, it is estimated that readings, hands-on assignments, and online work will take an average of 10-12 hours per week to complete. Keep in mind this is just an estimate which can vary with each course.

If you are taking an online course, you will likely be required to participate in online discussions. Online courses often require much more student involvement than traditional lecture-driven courses where you might come to class, take notes, write a paper, and then take a test. Many online courses require interaction with faculty and peers on a weekly or even daily basis. Therefore, you will need to schedule time for working on required activities just as you would schedule time each week to attend classes. The major benefit to students in an online course is the flexibility it affords you to participate in discussions and complete most learning activities around your own schedule.

==Participation Requirements for an Online Course==

The requirements for participation are outlined in the course objectives and can be accessed when you log into your course site. If you have any questions concerning the requirements, contact the instructor of the course for clarification.

==How Long do I Have to Complete my Course?==

It is your responsibility as a student to ensure you complete your course within the allotted time frame. You should note the end date for your course when you register. You can also check for the final month date on your course schedule. This is the month your course effectively ends.

'''''Please note: online courses should be completed within the time allowed as websites are closed after the course end date, in order to revise for subsequent offerings.'''''

In some cases, acceleration through the course is possible. Check with the course instructor, before registering, to see if he or she can accommodate your wish to finish the course earlier than scheduled. If you have permission from the instructor to move ahead at a faster pace, you must apply to write your exam early.

Extending a course means completing the course and writing the final examination during the next available examination period immediately following the scheduled course completion date. Academic concessions, such as course extensions, are granted on medical or compassionate grounds as outlined by [http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/index.cfm?tree=3,48,0,0 UBC policy] and require supporting documentation and permission from your course instructor.

See the [http://ctlt.ubc.ca/distance-learning/learner-support/policies-and-procedures-2/ Policies and Procedures] section for more information about course accelerations and course extensions.

==What Should I Expect from my Instructor?==

Your instructor is your guide through the course content. He or she may contact you at the beginning of the course as an introduction.

'''At any point in the course, if you are struggling with the material or are concerned that you are not keeping up for whatever reason, it is important to contact your instructor.''' He or she may assist you in determining the best course of action. Sometimes your instructor will consult with Learner Support and/or Academic Advisors offering assistance to you in the distance education process.

You can contact your instructor by telephone, mail, and/or email. If your course is online, you will likely use email, however most instructors are available by telephone as well. Contact information for your instructor will be included in the course package or posted on the course website (if applicable). If you are having difficulties reaching your instructor and don’t know why, contact the [mailto:distance.education@ubc.ca Learner Support Advisors] in Brock Hall.

==How do I Submit Assignments?==

Guidelines for assignment submission will be posted on your course website or included in your course manual. If you are unclear about the requirements ask your instructor.

If you are studying online, check out UBC’s [http://www.elearning.ubc.ca/ e-learning] website, where you will find tutorials regarding the use of the assignment submission tool (among other '''''Connect''''' topics!).

Documentation:Distance Learning Support/Starting Your Course

2015-10-30T18:02:18Z

TerriKennedy:

This section includes some useful information on what to expect and where to access certain materials you will be using for your course.

==Where Do I Start? Accessing My Online Course==

Just before the start of the course, you will receive an email notice outlining the procedure to access your online learning course, as well as other relevant details (i.e. instructor email, textbook information). Please ensure your email address entry on the [https://ssc.adm.ubc.ca/sscportal/servlets/SRVSSCFramework Student Service Centre] is correct as otherwise you might miss important information.

To log into your online course, log in to the [http://elearning.ubc.ca/connect/login-to-connect/ ''Connect'' course site] with your CWL.

If you want to familiarize yourself with the online learning environment, we have designed a '''''Student Orientation to Connect''''' to get you ready for your course. This will show up once you log into ''Connect''.

If your course is not in ''Connect'', you will be notified on how to access your course materials by the [mailto:susan.wong@ubc.ca Course Support Liaison] prior to the start of your course.

You will need to order your course materials through the [http://bookstore.ubc.ca/home UBC Bookstore]. Materials are sent out upon request. Please see the [http://ctlt.ubc.ca/distance-learning/learner-support/getting-your-course-materials/ Getting Your Course Materials] section to find out how to access your course materials.

Some courses may use supplementary course materials. These loan materials are sent out by CTLT staff after the start of classes. '''These materials must be returned within 3 weeks following your final exam or withdrawal date or you will be assessed the full cost of replacement.'''

==What Should I Expect from My Instructor?==

Your instructor is your guide through the course content. He or she may contact you at the beginning of the course as an introduction.

'''At any point in the course, if you are struggling with the material or are concerned that you are not keeping up for whatever reason, it is important to contact your instructor.''' He or she may assist you in determining the best course of action. Sometimes your instructor will consult with Learner Support and/or Academic Advisors offering assistance to you in the distance education process.

You can contact your instructor by telephone, mail, and/or email. If your course is online, you will likely use email, however most instructors are available by telephone as well. Contact information for your instructor will be included in the course package or posted on the course website (if applicable). If you are having difficulties reaching your instructor and don’t know why, contact the [mailto:distance.education@ubc.ca Learner Support Advisors] in Brock Hall.

==Library Resources for Online Learning Students==

For more information about accessing library materials as an online learning student, please visit the [http://services.library.ubc.ca/user-guides/distance-education-students/ Distance Education Students section of the UBC Library website].

Documentation:Distance Learning Support/Before You Start for Learners

2015-10-30T17:59:44Z

TerriKennedy:

Here are some useful resources that you should consult before you start a course supported by the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT).

==Financial Assistance and Awards==

If you are taking online learning courses as part of your academic program, you may be eligible for government student loans to help pay for educational and living expenses. Depending on your financial need, you may also be eligible for other sources of funding such as grants, bursaries, work study, and/or emergency loans.

Please visit the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/finances/funding-your-studies Finances section on the Student Services website] for more information about financial assistance and awards.

==Access: CWL, Email, Internet, UBC Card==

'''NOTE''': All UBC students are issued a CWL‘s account. Campus-Wide Login (CWL) is UBC custom single sign-on application designed to give you access privileges to many secure applications on campus, using the same login id and password. As campus applications begin the switch to CWL’s authentication service, your CWL account and password will replace the many different ones in use. For technical assistance with your CWL – contact IT Services at 604.822.2008.

UBC IT offers email accounts, Internet access, and web hosting to UBC students, faculty, staff, and the community. For more information, visit the [http://it.ubc.ca/ UBC IT website].

The UBCcard is the official University of British Columbia identification card for registered students and may be obtained from the Carding Office located within the UBC Bookstore at 6200 University Boulevard, Vancouver, BC. For more information, visit the [http://www.ubccard.ubc.ca/ UBCcard website].

Once you have your UBCcard and a Campus Wide Login (CWL), you will be able to access the Library’s licensed databases, indexes, and e-journals from home using the EZproxy login service. For more information about EZproxy and connecting to library resources from home, visit the [http://services.library.ubc.ca/off-campus-access/connect-from-home/ UBC Library website].

==Academic Support==

Check out the [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca UBC Learning Commons] for academic support resources. For information about study and time management skills go to the [http://students.ubc.ca/success/get-better-grades Student Services website].

Also, check out this resource for [http://www.dartmouth.edu/~acskills/videos/index.html Online Academic Success Videos] from Dartmouth College.

==Resources for Learning with Disabilities==

Support and assistance is available to students who have a disability or a specific challenge which makes learning more difficult. You will be required to provide suitable medical documentation to support your request for assistance.

[http://students.ubc.ca/about/access Access and Diversity] staff may provide the following services:

* Arranging for adaptation of course materials to meet your needs.
* Lending specialized equipment.
* Arranging for suitable accommodation for examinations.
* Providing student aides.

If you require adaptations to course materials (to accommodate visual impairments or other disabilities) you should contact the Access and Diversity office well in advance of your anticipated start date to discuss your requirements. See the [http://ctlt.ubc.ca/distance-learning/learner-support/key-contacts-2/ Key Contacts] section for contact information for [http://students.ubc.ca/about/access Access and Diversity]. Contact their advisors to find out if you are eligible for services.

Access and Diversity provides support and program initiatives designed to remove barriers for students with a disability or ongoing medical condition.

==Academic Advising==

Faculty and departmental websites are very useful tools when planning your program as they are specifically designed to answer many of the questions prospective students have.

Faculty based, academic advisors are available to distance education students by email. If you are not sure who your academic advisors are, please contact the [mailto:distance.education@ubc.ca Learner Support Advisors] and they will assist you in locating someone who can answer your questions.

The online course outlines indicate any prerequisites for our courses. If you have doubts as to whether you have fulfilled the course prerequisites, contact the course instructor.

If you are taking courses as an Access Studies student, contact [mailto:non.degree@ubc.ca non.degree@ubc.ca] with your questions. The Non-Degree Studies office ([http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses/non-degree Enrolment Services]) will serve as your academic advisor.

Academic Advisors can help you with:

* Approval to take an online learning course
* Program planning and course selection
* Advising with regard to your course load
* Increasing your per term credit limit (in certain circumstances) to accommodate extra credits
* Assessing pre-requisites
* Approving academic concessions such as late withdrawal from a course

UBC faculties and academic departments are responsible for setting program curriculum and academic credit requirements for all degree-granting programs. Students interested in pursuing the online learning option as a means of meeting some of these requirements are advised to consult their faculty advisors or [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses/non-degree Non-Degree Studies] before choosing their courses.

You should be aware that some faculties have specific guidelines and policies with regard to online learning. Please check with your Faculty for more information. Other faculties have developed online learning courses for which students can obtain credits toward their degree or professional certification. Students in such faculties as Agricultural Sciences, Dentistry, Education, Forestry, Nursing, and Rehab Sciences should consult with a faculty advisor prior to enroling in a distance education course.

Always identify yourself as an online learning student when contacting an advisor by email. Please refer to the list of [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses/academic-planning/advising Academic Advising offices] for contact information, or check out the relevant department or faculty website.

==Frequently Asked Questions==

'''''I don't see my online learning course on my Connect list?'''''

There are a few possible reasons for this. Here’s what to do:

* Check to make sure your course is an online course. The [https://courses.students.ubc.ca/cs/main?pname=subjarea&tname=subjareas&req=0 courses] listing on the Student Service Centre should clear this up.
* Once you are sure the course is online, check to be sure the course is listed on your registration. If it is not there and you know you registered contact [mailto:distance.education@ubc.ca Enrolment Services].
* If all of the above have been checked out and you are still having a problem, it may be technical. Contact the [mailto:dl.helpdesk@ubc.ca CTLT Helpdesk] with a description of your problem.

'''''I haven’t received any course materials in the mail yet and it is the second week of class!'''''

You need to order your materials from the Bookstore directly. To find out what you need, check the [http://ctlt.ubc.ca/distance-learning/courses/ course catalogue] on this site. Click on the link for the textbook order form for your course. It will contain all of the information you need.

'''''I haven’t heard from my instructor yet. What should I do?'''''

Most instructors won’t contact students until after the add/drop period. If you still haven’t heard from your instructor after that, send him or her an email to introduce yourself. Instructors in online courses will typically post their welcome message to all students in the discussions area.

'''''I haven’t heard anything about my online learning course and don’t know where to start. What now?'''''

A welcome message is sent to you from our [mailto:susan.wong@ubc.ca Course Support Liaison] prior to the start of each term. If you did not receive this message, it could be that your email program treated it as spam and moved it to junk. What you may need to do is adjust your email preferences to always allow messages from UBC. Check your junk folder for messages that may have been placed there in error.

Please ensure your email address entry on the [https://ssc.adm.ubc.ca/sscportal/servlets/SRVSSCFramework Student Service Centre] (SSC) is correct as otherwise you might miss important information. Also, make sure that you are actively using the email account you have listed in the SSC.

Documentation:Distance Learning Support/Policies and Procedures

2015-10-30T17:55:21Z

TerriKennedy:

Here are some policies and procedures of which you should be aware when you are taking courses supported by the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology.

==Exams==

Enrolment Services manages examinations for all online learning courses supported by CTLT. Online examinations are not administered by Enrolment Services, and you should contact your instructor with any questions you may have. For more information, please view the list of final exam deadlines on the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses-registration/distance-education/final-exam-deadlines Student Services] website.

You may also want to review a list of exam periods, guidelines, policies, and FAQ on the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses-registration/exams Student Services] website.

==Course Completions / Accelerations==
You should note the end date for your course when you register. You can also check for the final month date on your course schedule. This is the month your course effectively ends.

In some cases it is possible to complete your course before the end date - that depends, however, on the course design. Check with the course instructor, before registering, to see if you can accelerate through the course.

Accelerating a course means completing the course work and writing the final examination during an earlier examination period than the scheduled course completion date. If you have permission from the instructor to move ahead at a faster pace (accelerate), you must apply (by the application deadline) to write your exam early. Please attach an email/letter from your instructor indicating his/her permission to accelerate to the application form.

For information about course accelerations, please visit the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses-registration/distance-education/course-acceleration Enrolment Services] website.

==Course Repeats==

You may choose to repeat a course either to improve your GPA or to gain mastery over subject matter that is important to your degree and academic goals. However, before repeating a course, you should discuss this with your Faculty. Each Faculty may have different regulations and policies about repeating courses. You should also note the following:

*The grade received for the course first time around will remain on your academic record.
*You will not receive additional credit for the repeated course (Arts).
*Your instructor may require you to submit different assignments on a repeat course. You will need to discuss expectations and requirements with your instructor at the start of the term.

Here are some questions to ask yourself before you commit to repeating a course:

*Am I aware of the regulations for advancement for my faculty? See the resources below.
*Have I discussed the requirements for repeating my course with my instructor? Am I clear about whether or not I will be able to re-submit previous work with changes?
*Am I clear about my reasons for completing the course?

'''You might wish to repeat a course because:'''

*You withdrew the first time you attempted the course.
*You failed the course the first time you registered in it.
*You want to improve your grade.

Repeating a course means that you must re-register and pay the full tuition and related fees. Each attempt at a course appears on your transcript.

Here are some links to UBC policy regarding academic advancement, for your reference:

*[http://www.students.ubc.ca/calendar/index.cfm?tree=3,43,0,0 UBC-Vancouver: Policy on Academic Advancement]
*[http://okanagan.students.ubc.ca/calendar/index.cfm?tree=3,41,93,0#11162 UBC-Okanagan: Policy on Academic Advancement]

==Course Extensions==

Extending a course means completing the course and writing the final examination during the next available examination period immediately following the scheduled course completion date.

For information about course extensions, please visit the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses-registration/distance-education/course-extensions Enrolment Services] website.

'''What do I do if I can’t complete the course before the end date?'''

Academic concessions such as course extensions are granted on medical or compassionate grounds as outlined by [http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/index.cfm?tree=3,48,0,0 UBC policy] and require supporting documentation and permission from your course instructor.

==Deadlines and Withdrawals==

For information about course withdrawals and refunds, please visit the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses-registration/distance-education/withdrawal-and-refunds Enrolment Services] website.

==Grades==
Your final grade will be entered approximately 2-3 weeks following the final examination.

You may appeal your final grade through a review of assigned standing. Requests for formal appeal must be made through Enrolment Services. Please visit the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/grades/review-assigned-standing review of assigned standing] section on the Enrolment Services website for information about appealing your final grade.

'''Before considering a formal appeal, you should:'''

*Discuss your concern with your instructor
*Arrange to view your final exam. This must be arranged through the Academic Department to which the course belongs.

Click here for UBC [http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/index.cfm?tree=3,42,0,0 grading practices]. Visit the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/grades Student Services website] to learn more about grades.

==Plagiarism==

Plagiarism means that you have:

*Used another person’s words or ideas without acknowledging the source.
*Allowed a friend to complete all or a portion of your work.
*Submitted someone else’s work as your own.
*Allowed a reviewer to make extensive revisions to an assignment.
*Used information from an online discussion forum or website without proper citation.

To avoid plagiarism:

*Give credit with proper citation to all sources from which you have quoted directly or borrowed ideas. This includes any and all visual or verbal communication containing content which originates from an identifiable source.

Academic misconduct is a serious issue and cause for academic discipline – including expulsion from the University. To learn more about policies and processes around plagiarism and how to avoid it, visit the [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/resource-guides/avoiding-plagiarism/ Avoid Plagiarism] section on the UBC Learning Commons website.

To learn more about academic misconduct, visit the [http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/?tree=3,54,111,0 academic misconduct] section of the Academic Calendar.

UBC subscribes to the Turnitin Suite that includes a set of tools to improve the student writing cycle by preventing plagiarism and providing rich feedback to students. Learn more about [http://elearning.ubc.ca/toolkit/turnitin/ Turnitin] on the e-learning website.

==Student Evaluation of Teaching==

Your feedback regarding your experience in the courses you take is valuable to instructors, faculty, administrators and course design teams as we revise and rework courses and curriculum to better meet the learning needs of students.

Online learning courses supported by CTLT are evaluated online via a service called CoursEval. Near the end of your course, you will be sent a link to login to CoursEval and evaluate your course instructors.

For more information about student evaluation of teaching at UBC, see the [http://www.vpacademic.ubc.ca/ policy documents] on the VP Academic’s web page. To learn about how to evaluate your professor in the most useful way, see [http://teacheval.ubc.ca/resources/for-students/ Tips for Evaluating Instructors].

==Transfer Credits==

If you are planning to transfer credit for a UBC course to another institution, check with the other institution first about its policies regarding transfer credit. You may also consult the [http://bccat.ca/ BC Council on Admissions & Transfer website].

Distance Education Learning Resources

2015-10-30T17:53:34Z

TerriKennedy:

These are learning resources that may be helpful to participants registered in online learning courses supported by the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT). These links are all available through [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/ UBC's Learning Commons] and [http://ctlt.ubc.ca/ CTLT].

== Academic Support ==

UBC's Learning Commons is your online resource for academic support. Here you will find what you need to help develop your academic skills – everything from tutoring to online librarians. The Learning Commons has resources and opportunities for students all across the spectrum of learning. Whether you’re looking for skill development or a unique academic challenge, you’ll find it here. You may also need to talk to an academic advisor about your studies. The following resource may help:

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/tutoring-studying/academic-advising/ Academic Advising]

'''Academic Integrity'''

Academic misconduct is a serious issue and cause for harsh academic discipline – including expulsion from the University. Here are some resources to familiarize yourself with policies and processes around plagiarism as well as how to avoid it.

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/resource-guides/avoiding-plagiarism/ Academic Integrity]

== Exam Preparation and Support ==

Anyone who has ever taken an important test or exam knows how stressful it can be. One way you can alleviate some of the stress is to be prepared and plan enough time in your schedule for study. The following resources offer some practical and usable suggestions for exam preparation.

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/tutoring-studying/tutoring-2/ Tutoring]
* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/student-toolkits-2/preparing-for-exams/ Preparing for Exams Toolkit]

For more information about Exams in online learning, check out the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology's [http://ctlt.ubc.ca/distance-learning/learner-support/policies-and-procedures-2/ Learner Support - Policies and Procedures] section or the list of final exam deadlines on the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/courses-registration/distance-education/final-exam-deadlines Student Services] website.

== Learning Online ==

Learning online is a rewarding and challenging experience for many. It is different from most other distance learning modes of instruction in that you become part of a community of learners in a particular subject. Different from the traditional “independent study”, you will be logging on to your course website with fellow learners and your instructor, participating in asynchronous online discussion, and perhaps working in collaboration with others on group assignments.

If you haven’t tried an online course yet, you may want to browse through some of the resources below to help you get a feel for it.

If you are enrolled in an online course supported by CTLT, you will want to check out the '''Student Orientation to ''Connect''''' course. The workshop is not led by an instructor – instead, you can browse through various modules, selecting those which meet your learning needs.

You will also want to visit the [http://elearning.ubc.ca/ e-learning website] to learn more about ''Connect'' and other online learning tools.

To learn more about how to be successful in an online course, view the resource link below.

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/resource-guides/online-learners/ Resources for Distance/Online Learners]

'''Communicating Online'''

Netiquette is all about the code of behavior established for communicating online. The rules for netiquette will vary, depending on the context (formal/informal); the people (known/unknown to each other) and the activity. The following resource will help you be aware and communicate effectively online.

* [http://ctlt.ubc.ca/distance-learning/learner-support/communicating-online-netiquette/ Communicating Online]

== Library ==

For information about accessing library materials, as a distance education student, please visit the [http://services.library.ubc.ca/user-guides/distance-education-students/ Distance Education Students section of the UBC Library website].

You can access research help, library databases, and distance library services all from home simply by logging in using the Library's [http://services.library.ubc.ca/personal-computers/connect-from-home/ EZproxy Login]. All you need is a valid [http://it.ubc.ca/services/accounts-passwords/campus-wide-login-cwl Campus-Wide Login (CWL)] or [http://ubccard.ubc.ca/ UBC Card].

'''Research Help'''

Start your research by using the Library’s new search tool: [http://www.library.ubc.ca/ Summon]. Summon is a one-stop search tool that allows you to search for print and e-books, journal articles, statistical data, government documents, theses/dissertations, and much more all at once.
*Every branch of the Library has staff members who can help you find what you need. Can’t find an article for your term paper? Don’t hesitate to [http://help.library.ubc.ca/ask-colorbox '''Ask Us'''] for assistance via email, online chat, or by phone.
*The library also has tailor-made research guides designed to help you find the best sources for your research. You can find a guide for every discipline taught at UBC as well as multidisciplinary topics like Grey Literature, Sustainability, and Portfolio creation.

''' Borrowing Books'''

As a [http://services.library.ubc.ca/user-guides/distance-education-students/registering-for-distance-learning-library-services/ registered] Distance Education student your loan period for UBC books is 28 days (undergraduate) or 56 days (graduate). Both are subject to recall by another borrower. You can renew library materials online through [http://services.library.ubc.ca/borrowing-services/library-account/ My Library Account] except for items recalled by another borrower. Books and other materials are delivered by mail free of charge within Canada and the US and take from 10 days to 2 weeks for processing and delivery. Please allow adequate time.

To register for home delivery of library materials, please complete the Library’s [http://services.library.ubc.ca/user-guides/distance-education-students/registering-for-distance-learning-library-services/ online registration form].

== Keys to Success ==

Learning by distance can be a great way to accomplish your educational goals. There are a few things you need to know before you get started. We’re sure that this will help you to get things off to a smooth start.

'''Time Management'''

Time management begins to take on a somewhat mythical quality with learners at university. There never seems to be enough time and what there is seems to become unmanageable quickly! Following are some resources which may serve as useful reminders about planning and managing your life so that you have some time to enjoy.

== Motivation ==

You are more likely to achieve your academic goals if you are clear about what those goals are. For some people, a university degree is a goal in itself. For others, completing courses, degrees or programs of study will help them to reach career goals or acquire knowledge needed in their current jobs. Preparing yourself for learning often begins with a process of reflection. Here is a resource to get you stared:

== Reading & Writing ==

'''Reading'''

Reading for university requires you to move beyond reading for information towards reading for understanding. In order to do your own research and synthesize ideas from several sources, you will need to read critically – asking questions and checking your understanding as you go.

The following resources may be useful to you in developing and refining your reading skills:

* [http://learningcommons.ubc.ca/student-toolkits-2/reading-textbooks/ Textbook Reading Toolkit]

'''Writing'''

The UBC Writing Centre offers non-credit courses designed to help UBC students, faculty, and staff, as well as members of the general public, improve their command of English for general interest as well as academic, technical, or research purposes. There are additional resources that can help as well:
