Student Onboarding Tutorial

About the Student Tutorial

Our immersion onboarding tutorial, (called ROI) is a free training tutorial provided in the Canvas learning management system. It is designed to prepare students taking online courses for the first-time at Rowan University. Students who have taken online courses at other institutions are encouraged to take ROI so that they become familiar with Rowan's expectations and technology. The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete and can be completed at the student's own pace, meaning that this course does not require the student to be online at a specific date or time. There are no live sessions, nor is there an instructor managing the course.

Key topics covered include:

• What to expect in an online course. 
• Technology and support overview.
• Important policies and resources.

All students taking online courses are encouraged to enroll to ensure success using Rowan's digital learning platforms. For the best chance of success, we recommend that students complete the tutorial prior to starting their first course. Once a student has successfully completed the ROI tutorial, it is not necessary to take it again while they are an active student a Rowan University.
