Abstract

This article describes the process a regional teaching university took to reconceptualize its online orientation course during the course of COVID-19 pandemic through components such as the appointment of a faculty lead; extensive consultations with community partners; and bolstering the course foundation with Schlossberg’s 4S framework of self, situation, support, and strategies. It offers an overall framework for an engaging program, including aspects such as integrating organic assessment and planning for ongoing course and program revisions as the COVID-19 pandemic influences a new normal.
