 * Participants gain valuable hands-on experience with several new, free, and web-based communications applications that can be used inside any virtual learning environment (VLE). These services are particularly useful in education because of their special emphasis on collaboration and social networking. Used during the course is Desire2Learn, but the principles apply equally well to other VLEs (i.e. Blackboard, Angel, Moodle). Explored during this course are the use of video, music playlists, photos, wikis, instant messaging, social bookmarking, Twitter, web office, RSS, and more. Participants engage in online collaborative activities during the course that simulate projects they could assign to their students.
 * This session provides information about creating an effective student online orientation that is engaging, relevant, and accessible to everyone. Enrollment managers and student service professionals discuss strategies and real-world examples that will help develop or modify an online orientation at their institutions. This session is the first in a series of three.

This presentation shares recent findings of the project. Discussed is how technology played a role in these programs, including specific examples of how an online career assessment tool and student support services were integrated.
 * Providing online learners with the resources needed to be successful is critical. Discussed is requiring student orientation as a prerequisite to online instruction. Kirkwood Community College created a video clip that explains online courses and important procedures and directs students to an online orientation course. Not only has the video served to increase student success, but faculty, support service and marketing personnel, and administrators have found the video to be helpful in other areas as well.

Service learning is a required component of the general education environmental technology course at Salt Lake City College, which most students take on the internet. This poster session documents guided design and rubrics used in a distance course for service learning. Students initially disliked the requirement, but by the end of the semester, they praised service learning as a highlight of the course. Come see how students connect to the subject matter and engage with the community. **Deanna Anderson**, Associate Professor Faculty Teaching and Learning Center Salt Lake Community College **Gail Jessen**, Coordinator Thayne Center For Service And Learning Salt Lake Community College
