Ask Ellen – eLearning Peer Mentor

Melleneet Ellen Chun-Ying Hsu, an online student at Shoreline, who joined eLearning Services as an eLearning Student Peer Mentor in 2013. Since then she has helped students in more than 100 online classes with an “Ask Ellen” discussion board where students post questions about the learning management system, Canvas. Students often tell Ellen that they never have enough time but her advice is:

  • Read the syllabus carefully.
  • Plan ahead by reviewing the upcoming modules and keeping track of upcoming assignments in a calendar.
  • Ask questions early about big assignments and work on the assignment weeks ahead of the deadline.
  • Post to discussions early so your classmates can respond to you.

Study Ahead = Bonus Week. Ellen found that keeping to her “Plan Ahead” method gave her a bonus week at the end of the quarter. While others were working all night and stressing about submission deadlines, she was finished with her classes!

Statewide Safety Survey for Universities and Colleges

Please take a few minutes to complete a short safety survey with questions about workplace safety that are relevant for each one of us.  Each year a safety survey is administered by the Office of Risk Management, a division of the Department of Enterprise Services.  The 2014 Safety Survey will be open for higher education employees through November 28, 2014.

To complete the survey, please follow this link. The survey is anonymous, easy-to-use and short.  Results will be collected by Risk Management through Nov. 28, 2014, then tallied and sent in summary form to each state agency in December.

This effort is aimed at helping to enhance our culture of worker safety.  The State’s agencies use the survey results to develop a safety action plan for addressing the issues identified.  Survey information will assist your Safety Officers and Safety Committee members to evaluate our safety program here at Shoreline Community College, identify gaps, and plan safety initiatives to enhance employee workplace safety.

Thanking you in advance for your participation.
