The goal of this presentation is to discuss and elicit participant interaction based on the following questions:
- What instructional practices can be used to help first-year online college students with stress management?
- How does the online course set-up contribute to first-year student stress and what can faculty members do to mitigate this given Learning Management System (LMS) constraints?
- What additional resources both inside and outside of the online classroom can help first-year students with stress management?
In discussing these questions, the authors will provide research and personal experience-based information in the areas of instructional practices, classroom set-up and resources for helping online college students with stress management and success in college overall. As full-time faculty teaching at one of the largest distance education universities in the United States, the authors have researched this topic as part of a project related to helping first-year online students overcome feelings of stress and isolation.
