Welcome to the Are You Ready course designed to help you be a successful online learner! You may have already taken some online courses along with in-person classes, or you may have taken a combination of both, also known as a hybrid class. Just because a course is online, it's not any easier. Online courses are designed to meet the same learning objectives as face-to-face classes and require a certain level of proficiency with technology and digital literacy. In your academic life, there is a great chance that you will need skills and tools for some form of online learning, regardless of modality. The Are Your Ready course will do just that - introduce you to online learning tools and skills that will help you focus on achieving your academic goals. In this self-paced course, you will learn how to navigate the CUNY digital landscape, how to efficiently use the Learning Management System, video conferencing tools, and cloud applications, and you will get equipped with the basic concepts of digital citizenship and academic integrity. You will also learn when and how it is appropriate to use AI tools in your courses by understanding your instructor’s rules and using them responsibly. Before you start, bear in mind that this course wants your participation. After you finish watching a video and studying the lesson, you must mark the checkbox labeled "My Learning Milestone" in each section’s progress checkpoint, so that a quiz shows up. After you successfully pass the quiz, you are ready to move on to the next section. You can take the quiz as many times as you need. Remember, study, mark the "My Learning Milestone" checkbox, do the quiz, and then do it again for the next section. Don’t worry, it’s fun! Before you access the course sections, we prepared a brief self-assessment to help you gauge your current readiness for online learning. After completing the course, take the post-course self-assessment to evaluate your readiness and growth in online learning. If you have any technical issues, contact the on-campus help desk support center. Good luck and enjoy your journey to becoming a proficient online learner!
