Connect for Success Alternatives - mhanlin - 04-16-2019
I just got an email from a faculty member about Connect for Success. Candidly, I only vaguely remember what this was, but she's interested in getting something similar. Besides the alternatives listed already, does anyone have any suggestions? What happened to it btw? Just too dated?

Correct, the web version is gone. A group worked together to port the content to Bb in 2016, please see
https://learn.vccs.edu/webapps/blackboard/execute/launcher?type=Course&id=_974837_1&url
In this BlackBoard version, all students, faculty, and staff may self-enroll in the tutorial and complete the modules. A certificate or badge of completion may be printed at the end of the tutorial to demonstrate that all modules have been completed. The modules are self-paced, but must be completed in the order provided. Users can self-test with the embedded quizzes, but it is important to note that these quizzes are not graded and are purely for practice. This Bb version will go away shortly with the implementation of Canvas. There are a number of similar info lit 'courses' available on the Canvas Commons, but I have not explored them.
