• W2763101031 abstract "Rapidly increasing tuition and living costs, decreasing retention and graduation rates, and domestic and global competition have all contributed to a renewed focus on accountability in higher learning by government, accrediting agencies, parents, and other funding sources (Brown 2012). The increased demand for accountability has moved the issue of underprepared entering freshmen to the forefront of all the challenges facing higher education. Rausch and Hamilton's (2006) study reveals that conditions affecting attrition include lack of preparation, adopted commitment, unmet expectations, and lack of institutional information. According to Parsad and Lewis (2004), in fall 2000, approximately 76 percent of institutions offered freshmen at least one remedial reading, writing, or mathematics course, with 98 percent of public two-year colleges and 63 percent of private two-year colleges offering remediation.Community colleges must address increasing demands to better prepare entering freshmen. With advances in technology, many face-to-face interactions, previously limited to the classroom setting, now take place in the virtual world. College educators and administrators responsible for implementing new student orientations (NSOs) face increasing pressure to reduce budgets. According to Oliff et al. (2013), states spent 28 percent less per student nationwide in 2013 than they did in 2008. Utilizing technology is one cost-saving strategy.Online learning is an important aspect of community college students' academic experience (Miller, Fishman and McCarthy 2015). As a result of curricular and pedagogical changes in higher education-including technological advances-new student orientation sessions increasingly are being offered online (Miller and Pope 2003, Stewart et al. 2013). What is the current state of new student orientation (NSO) programs? How are sessions being offered to freshmen? How are community colleges coping with gaps in the preparedness and academic skills of graduating high school seniors and entering freshmen? How are new student e-orientations (NSEOs) being designed and implemented in the community college setting? This study examines the ways in which community colleges throughout the United States are answering these questions.Existing studies and scholarly communications regarding the design and implementation of NsO and NsEO programs tend to focus on individual cases. A more systematic approach is needed to provide an overview of how U.S. community colleges' NSO-particularly e-orientation-programs are meeting the needs of freshmen.From a list of nearly 900 community colleges, the researcher randomly selected 100 and carefully reviewed their orientation programs on the basis of the information provided on the institutions' websites. Ultimately, 20 colleges offering new student e-orientation sessions (NSEOs) were invited to participate in the study. The study sought to determine whether a new student orientation program was offered, in what format it was delivered, and whether a link to the orientation program was publicly accessible via a Google search. Key design fea- tures of each NSEO program-for example, navigation, ease of use, interactivity, segments or topics covered, and multimedia components, as well as the inclusion of assessment modules-were thoroughly examined.The findings offer a synopsis of how U.s. community colleges are conducting orientation sessions for their new students. The results of this study are expected to be useful to faculty and administrators who are evaluating or implementing NSOs and NSEOs. The findings will also help inform the development of effective strategies for increasing student retention and success.Literature ReviewIt is common practice for U.s. universities and colleges to offer orientation sessions to newly admitted freshmen (Koch and Gardner 2014). The findings of a national survey of first-year practices revealed that 96 percent of all U. …" @default.
