It is optimized for desktop use \u2014 we recommend viewing full-screen.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><h3 id=\"introduction\">Introduction<\/h3><p>Every term, California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) intakes a large class of transfer students from community colleges and other universities. Transfer students are not new to higher education, but learning the ins and outs of a new institution is challenging. In a recent report from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.calstate.edu\/graduation-initiative-2025\">Graduation Initiative 2025<\/a>, it found that only 37% of transfer students graduate in 2 years.<\/p><p>Many transfer students are nontraditional or commuter students, unable to attend on-campus orientation courses. Recognizing how difficult it is for students to make a smooth transition between different institutions, the Office of the Online Campus and Student Life &amp; Leadership Programs created an Online Transfer Orientation (OTO) course to provide an alternative way to introduce new students to the campus, graduation requirements, and university resources at their disposal.<\/p><p>The number of students choosing to complete OTO rather than the in-person orientation has grown every semester since the option was introduced. For the Fall 2016 term, enrollments increased to 725 students.<\/p><h3 id=\"their-challenge\">Their Challenge<\/h3><p>The original OTO was simply an interactive PowerPoint presentation saved as an HTML player file with short quizzes, all shared through Blackboard. To learn anything, students had to read a lot of long, dry documentation \u2014 which they rarely felt compelled to do. End result: it was as though they hadn\u2019t gone through orientation at all, and they certainly weren\u2019t getting as prepared nor excited about their education as the university wanted.<\/p><p>CSUEB believes orientation is the gateway to resources and pathways that help students find their success and community. They didn\u2019t just want to tell students where to find the health center and how they could buy a parking pass. Their goal is to help students create an actual academic plan, organize their financial planning, and schedule future action items (e.g. signing up for classes next term), so they start off their time at CSUEB on the right foot. The CSUEB teams knew they could create a more engaging online orientation course using adaptive learning, but weren\u2019t sure how to do it.<\/p><blockquote><p>\u201cWe needed to create an online course that mirrored an on-ground program in content, personalization, and student engagement, while focusing on a better user experience.\u201d \u2014My-Lan Huynh, Student Life &amp; Leadership<\/p><\/blockquote><figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"An example of CSUEB's virtual field trip experiences\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smartsparrow.com\/assets\/demos\/images\/csueb-virtual-field-trip-campus.png\" alt=\"An example of CSUEB's virtual field trip experiences\" \/><figcaption>An example of CSUEB&#8217;s virtual field trip experiences<\/figcaption><\/figure><h3 id=\"their-solution\">Their Solution<\/h3><p>CSUEB reached out to the Smart Sparrow Studio to collaborate and create an online orientation course that adapts to individual students and provides a more engaging learning experience. Our teams worked together from beginning to end, brainstorming possibilities, storyboarding and iterating over lesson content and design, and ultimately building a 21st century orientation experience for CSUEB\u2019s 21st century students.<\/p><p>Now, instead of giving students a one-size-fits-all experience, the Smart Sparrow-powered Online Transfer Orientation course adapts the assistance and resources it provides to the specific student taking the course. Similar to an on-ground orientation, the new course provides personalized assistance that caters to what the student actually needs and wants to learn as they prepare for the next phase of their education.<\/p><blockquote><p>\u201cWe now have the ability to provide individual learners their own learning paths, and our institution can better assess student learning by examining their paths in the Analytics.\u201d \u2014Roger Wen<\/p><\/blockquote><figure><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"An example of CSEUB's academic planner tool for students\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smartsparrow.com\/assets\/demos\/images\/csueb-student-academic-planner.png\" alt=\"An example of CSEUB's academic planner tool for students\" \/><figcaption>An example of CSEUB&#8217;s academic planner tool for students<\/figcaption><\/figure><h3 id=\"the-results\">The Results<\/h3><p>CSUEB and Smart Sparrow\u2019s Studio successfully transformed the existing orientation course into a more visually-appealing, personalized, and interactive course. The course was built placing emphasis on CAS Orientation standards, prior student orientation evaluations, and unique resources offered by different departments.<\/p><p>For Fall 2016, CSUEB offered the newly designed OTO course as an alternative to on-campus orientation for transfer students, online degree completion undergraduate students, and online graduate students. The new OTO proved to be a better resource for both staff and students.<\/p><section class=\"demo-intro\"><div class=\"demo-intro-wrapper\"><div class=\"demo-intro-inner\"><div class=\"demo-quote\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"demo-quotation-marks\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smartsparrow.com\/assets\/img\/quotation-marks.png\" \/><\/p><p>Working with the Smart Sparrow Studio is like working with an internal team from our campus.
