The Great Starts:
Connecting the Mosaic Learning Community is designed to focus on helping
to enable students to have a great start in college. Considering all new
freshmen, this community will work with freshmen as tesserae of the larger
student body mosaic. How do we enable students, as elements of the
mosaic, to make connections to the whole: their roles in the residence
halls, as commuters, students in large classes, using technology, pursuing
a major, making friends, maintaining family relationships, finding
independence, and participating in the myriad of activities that comprise
campus life. Using principles of learning and development, and the Seven
Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education as a jumping off
point, members of this learning community will explore student
perspectives and share ideas for working with freshmen.
Groove Workspace is a unique software tool offering users the
ability to form and join discussion groups. Great Starts will soon launch a Groove group for members, allowing them to meet electronically. The program will also enable members to share photos, documents and files. Members may even wish to start their own groups to communicate with their student orientation instructors.
