About This Guide
This Guide for Online Students, created by the Instructional
Design and Development (IDD) staff, has been designed to assist you as
you enter the world of online learning at the University of Connecticut.
This tool is here to help you determine if online learning is right
for you, to support you in your first course, and to assist you in all of
your online efforts. Although this Guide will aide UConn students who
are taking fully online courses, it is also a helpful resource for students
enrolled in traditional classrooms who are using Course Tools/Vista to access supplemental
course materials and activities.
Since online courses draw participants from all corners of the globe,
information has also been included to address the needs of those students
who may never actually see the University of Connecticut main or regional campuses. This Guide will also provide useful information for non-credit
students and includes helpful links to ensure that your concerns about
UConn's Continuing Studies program are addressed.

online endeavors.
