Rio Salado's Student "Successful Start" program. These workshops focus on what first-time Rio Salado College Distance Learning students need in order to have a ÒSuccessful StartÓ in their online class. The one and a half hour workshop provides students with the opportunity to become familiar with RioÕs course format. In the workshop students learn how to access their courses, become familiar with course requirements, and support services offered by Rio. Students also practice communicating with their instructor and fellow students. Students who have completed the workshops say it has given them confidence and motivated them to be successful in their courses.

Paradise Valley's Online Tutoring Program provides students with anyplace, anytime tutoring support in ten disciplines covering seventeen courses (and growing). This web-based program affords students the opportunity to access course related FAQ's, discuss discipline topics with a tutor or their peers on a Web Board, and ask a tutor specific questions with a 24-hour guaranteed turn around on an email response. Over the last two years this faculty-driven and supported program has proven to
be very successful for both busy students who find it difficult to get to campus for tutoring, and for the Learning Support Center as they strive to serve all student's tutoring needs.
