- Online Assessment System for Internet Students - (You may register to use the system or log in as a guest.) The Online Assessment System for Internet Students (OASIS) is an online readiness assessment designed for students either considering an online course or currently enrolled in an online course. It provides students with the ability to check their computers for compatibility with the most popular course delivery tools and services, presents tutorials to train students how to use particular pieces of software based on the actual course(s) in which they have enrolled, and evaluates student readiness and learning styles. The Online Readiness Survey, which will assess your readiness for taking an online course, will take about 5-10 minutes to complete. The customized report, which is generated following the completion of the survey, will take about 15 minutes to review. This report will give you feedback based on your responses.
- Student Orientation - The WebCT/Blackboard 6 Student Orientation is REQUIRED for all students taking an online course at Richland for the first time or using WebCT/Blackboard version 6 for the first time. Please contact the Online Learning Department at ochelp@richland.edu or call 217-875-7211, ext. 376 if you need to schedule an orientation.
