course, Fostering First-Year Student Success. Stephanie M. Foote, Associate
Professor of Education in the Department of First-Year Programs at Kennesaw
State University, will serve as instructor for this online course that will
run October 15 - November 16, 2012. Please visit http://www.sc.edu/fye/oc for more

This course is designed to engage participants in an
exploration of many of the fundamental aspects of first-year student success.
Drawing from multiple perspectives, participants in the course will be
challenged to: a) move beyond generational characteristics to understand who
first-year students are and what issues potentially impact their success; b)
apply the information generated through readings, reflective assignments, and
discussion to innovate practices aimed at fostering first-year student
success; and c) develop a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods
that can be used to measure first-year student success.

National Resource Center online courses are designed to come
as close as possible to providing students with the same course content and
possibilities for interaction with classmates and with the instructor as
traditional or classroom-based courses as well as take advantage of pedagogy
and teaching techniques that are not possible or uncommon in a traditional
format. Visit http://www.sc.edu/fye/oc for more
