Online Learning Services and Social Networking Tools Foster Opportunities for Community College Students
Community colleges are using online courses, online support services and Web 2.0 social networking tools to increase learning opportunities for non-traditional students, a recently released national report on community college student engagement shows. The report, titled "Making Connections: Dimensions of Student Engagement," is produced annually by The University of Texas at Austin's Center for Community College Student Engagement. The 2009 Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) includes a cohort of more than 400,000 students from 663 institutions in 48 states as well as British Columbia, the Marshall Islands, Nova Scotia and Ontario.
