WRITERS WANTED! The ELI Bulletin Board is published by the Extended Learning Institute of Northern Virginia Community College to keep the ELI community informed and connected. We welcome comments and contributions from students, faculty, and staff. Contact Bridget Downey for details.
Summer is a great time to get out and about, try new activities, work on your physical fitness, read a good book--and, of course, take distance learning courses! In this edition of the ELI Bulletin Board, we share with you a little of all of these things with our focus on recreation and leisure. We'll introduce you to long-time ELI faculty member Talula Guntner, who teaches courses in Travel and Tourism for us as well as owning her own travel agency. We'll also share ideas for summer fun, from summer reading suggestions to cool
mobile apps related to summer activities to information about some ELI student events happening this summer (please join us!). As always, you'll also find lots of useful information and reminders about ELI, from testing tips to information on new ELI courses. One change I'm especially excited about is that starting this fall, nearly every ELI course will be available in accelerated, 8- or 12week formats. Accelerated courses are challenging and require more of your time each week than a 16-week course does, but many students find that they prefer to focus their studies
by taking classes that are shorter in length but scheduled back-toback instead of taking several 16week classes simultaneously. If you are not sure whether accelerated courses are right for you, you might find a conversation with an ELI counselor useful. You can reach the counselors at elicounselors@nvcc.edu or (703) 323-2425. Happy summer! Dr. Lerner Associate Vice President for eLearning

ELI Common Reader Program We are excited to announce ELI’s new Common Reader program led by Dr. Preston
Coming Soon!
Davis, Director of Instructional Services at ELI . The inaugural ELI Common Reader Program is a pilot program that seeks to engage first-year students, students new to distance learning, and re-entry students in an academic environment through the shared experiences of reading a "common reader" book prior to the start of the Fall term. The selected book is In The Hot Zone, by Kevin Sites. This book will be provided free of charge to 500 students during the pilot program this summer. The goals of the ELI Common Reader Program include: Emphasize reading as an intellectual skill central to student achievement and promote learning with and from others. Encourage students to participate and recognize the educational value of their involvement.
Connect with ELI!
Promote peer engagement by helping students understand the value of dialogue about academic matters outside the traditional classroom.
Read the Student Blog, ELIFE Like NOVA ELIfe on Facebook We’re on Twitter too! @NOVAELIfe
Help students learn to discuss these ideas with others whose views may differ from their own, and consider alternative perspectives. Emphasize the involvement of all students of ELI in both critical thinking and student life activities. This pilot program is linked to the ELI Orientation and will include events and exercises to encourage discourse among distance learning students and promote academic success. A student symposium with a lecture and book signing by the author will conclude the program in September. REMINDER: ELI SESSION CHANGES FOR FALL 2011
Beginning Fall 2011, ELI will no longer offer late-starting 16-week courses. While we will continue to offer16-week courses the first session of each semester, later sessions will be either 8 weeks or 12 weeks in length. Contact ELI Registration for more information about sessions changes and course lengths: elireg@nvcc.edu, 703-323-3368.
“Is an 8-week course for me?” These questions can help you decide whether you are prepared for an 8-week course: Will you be able to begin the course on the start date? Will you be able to acquire the textbook for the course before it begins? Will you be able to avoid interruptions to your study time (like vacations) during the course?
ELI
BULLETIN
BOARD
If the course is 3 credits, can you budget at least 12-18 hours a week for completing reading and homework for the class? Are you willing to look at the Syllabus in the first few days of your class and schedule your due dates on your calendar? Can you estimate which weeks will require 18 hours vs. 12 hours? Are you willing to contact
your professor immediately when you have a problem or don’t understand something rather than procrastinating? If you answered YES to these questions, give the 8-week format a go. If you answered NO to some of them, but need to take the faster format anyway, contact a Success Coach at elisuccess@nvcc.edu for help planning a course of action that will lead to success.

Orientation 101 My name is Katie Aimone and I joined the ELI staff in March as the Orientation Specialist. I am working with new ELI students to help them transition to distance learning courses. There are several programs planned for the Fall semester. Prior to each course start date, an Orientation webinar is offered for students. These free, online seminars are beneficial to students who are new to distance learning, as well as students who are returning to distance learning and would like a refresher. These one-hour webi-
nars will focus on getting started in your courses, navigating in your Blackboard course site, and identifying tips for success, financial aid resources, and student support services. As a live online session, participants will listen to the presentation via their computer headphones or speakers, and interact with the presenters via text chat.
at 7pm and Mondays at 12:15pm running August 10-October 19. For students who are local, a few inperson Orientation events may also be offered. Check the announcements section of ELI’s website for more details.
You can also follow us on Twitter throughout the semester @NOVAELIFE where we’ll be posting information and links that will be beneficial to you as an online student. We will also be keeping the conversation going during and after the webinars. Join the conversation!
To sign up to participate in an Orientation webinar check the Webinar Schedule on ELI’s website and pick a date and time that works for you. In the Fall, Orientation webinars will be offered on Wednesdays

Testing, Testing... We know that not all ELI students are located within NOVA’s campus testing centers and that many of you who do live nearby still have trouble getting to a NOVA testing center to take your ELI exams, so we are always making efforts to provide alternatives for you. Students who live outside the Northern VA area taking ELI courses may submit a Proctor Request form to have an exam proctored at an alternate location. Proctors must fulfill certain requirements and students will need
to allow up to five business days to process their requests. Visit the ELI website for more details about Proctor Requests. ProctorU, an online proctoring service, is another option for students in select ELI courses. The service was piloted in the Fall 2010 semester and ELI has elected to continue its use. For a fee of $7.50 per two hour exam, students who are age 18 or older and have highspeed internet connection, a webcam, and headphones or speakers can schedule an exam to be taken
at home at their convenience. If ProctorU is available for your course, you will find information in your Blackboard course site under Testing. Students must show a current photo ID and respond correctly to several challenge questions to authenticate their identity. To maintain the integrity of the testing environment, online proctors will take control of the student’s PC and observe the student and their desktop throughout the exam.
Click here for a video demonstration to see how ProctorU works.
Contact Karen Kempter, Testing & Tutoring Specialist, with any questions regarding ELI exam proctoring and ProctorU.

Meet Erika Coddington, ELI Success Coach Greetings! I am the newest member of the Student Success Coach Team at NOVA’s Extended Learning Institute! I am here to help you locate support resources as well as create new Erika Coddington ones in your academic journey to success. I am very excited to be communicating with the diverse array of distance learning students at NOVA and assist them in any way I can on their academic
trajectory. My most recent experience includes creating outreach and leadership programs while working as a Campus Outreach Program Coordinator at Montgomery College in Rockville, MD. Some of the programs I created included: Peer Mentoring, 7 Habits of Highly Effective College Students and Project Success, an academic support program designed to help students manage and monitor their academic and
professional goals. I hope to transfer my skills and knowledge in developing a peer mentoring program for distance learning students as well as develop cutting-edge programs that will help them best survive and thrive during their distance learning experience at NOVA. I will also be providing useful articles and posts related to study skills, time management and stress management in ELI’s student blog, ELIfe.

An Alternative Approach to Earning NOVA Credit In contrast to our grandparent’s generation, our global economy is a complex, knowledge-based web of activity that is constantly growing and changing. To stay competitive in the job market, workers today increasingly need to be ―credentialed‖ (i.e. earn a college degree or higher). President Obama has taken note of this trend, calling for a dramatic increase in the number of college degrees earned in the next decade. Students of all ages, and especially those 25 and older, are coming back to school to earn associate’s and bachelor’s degrees in astounding numbers. Some of these adults returning to college, when reviewing their intended curriculum, might remark, ―Well gee whiz, I have 10 years experience as a business managerdo I really need to take BUS100?‖ At NOVA, we empathize with that statement. As a result, we have created a system of procedures
whereby students may earn college credit through advanced standing. A meaningful college degree reflects mastery of new material and thus adds to your unique skill set; it should not be a list of mandatory classes that cover topics you have already learned. For instance, if you have completed the Fairfax County Criminal Justice Academy, NOVA allows you to earn a minimum of 28 credits of basic administration of justice coursework. Or, if you lived in Germany for a few years and became conversationally fluent in German, you might be able to earn credit for your skills by taking a CLEP (College-Level Examination Program) exam. The College Credit through Advanced Standing Manual lists three general ways that you may earn advanced standing credit at NOVA: (1) transfer credits, (2) credits earned in non-traditional programs, and finally, (3) credit by exam op-
portunities. ―Non-traditional programs‖ include a variety of training programs in various fields (marketing, management, fire science, office administration, business, etc.), along with a long list of corporate certifications for which NOVA grants academic credit. Look closely at these policies-if you have had training or earned a certification that is not represented in our manual, please let us know. I will be happy to take your suggestions to our faculty to discuss enhancing our advanced standing offerings. Review all of the existing opportunities for earning credit, because you may be able to speed up your progress towards that coveted college degree! Finally, if you think you might be eligible for advanced standing credit but do not know where to start, feel free to email me at kpsmith@nvcc.edu. I look forward to speaking with you.

Clubs for Online Students, Too Student clubs and organizations are not just for on-campus students. Through ELI's Student Life program, distance learning students too, can establish social and academic clubs and organizations. So whether you’re taking courses from Australia, Germany or Fairfax, Virginia, you can benefit from the social, recreational and success benefits of involvement in a college club. You might be wondering, ―How does an online club work?‖ With technology, anything’s possible. To meet with your club members, you can set up a virtual meeting place in real-time using eNOVA, or set up a
Blackboard site and hold live chat sessions and online discussions. Clubs and organizations can host events online as well—guest speakers, debates, socials, etc. To start an online club you will first need to select a faculty advisor and two fellow students to form an interest group. Interest Groups are developed to determine interest among other students. Interest Group ―Coordinators‖ can advertise their group by posting information on the ELIfe blog, or announcements to the NOVAELIfe Facebook page. When an interest group has re-
cruited 10 to 12 members, it’s time to arrange a meeting to establish the group’s mission statement and to brainstorm about the purpose and future goals and activities of the group. Then an interest group may apply for recognition as an official College club or organization. For more information about this process, read the NOVA Student Handbook. If you are a student interested in starting an interest group, or if you are a faculty member interested in advising a student club, contact Bridget Downey, Student Life Specialist, to get the process started!
Read the NOVA Student Handbook to learn more about the policies and procedures for establishing a College interest group or organization.

Faculty Spotlight: Talula Guntner

We were fortunate enough to snag an interview with one of ELI’s most interesting, long-time faculty members, Talula Guntner. We wanted to find out how she maintained such a cheerful disposition. Surely, a career of interesting travels and helping others has contributed! We appreciated the opportunity to learn about the Travel & Tourism field and are thankful that she’ll still be teaching courses through ELI. Talula with the iguanas in Galapagos Islands
How did you get started in Travel & Tourism and what do you enjoy most about the field? I went on a 30 day tour of Europe. If you’ve seen the movie If it’s Tuesday it Must Be Belgium, the trip was like that. I was right out of college in 1969 and I just fell in love with travel! I like to go places and meet new people and learn about other cultures and I think travel is a way to spread peace around the world. I just think it has so many benefits and the more we get to know other people, the more we see that other people are like us. What I enjoy most about the field, besides the travel, is to help other people learn a new career. It really bugs me that people have careers that they don’t enjoy and they say, ―Well, I only have 39 more years and 12 days and then I can retire.‖ I don’t think that’s a good way to live. I think you should enjoy what you do as a career and if your hobby can be your career and you can get paid for it, I think that’s great. I have been very fortunate that I have a home-based travel agency now. I’ve been in the travel industry since 1972 and I’ve been
teaching at NOVA now for the past 21 years. So it’s really been a great career and a real big part of my life. I’ve got lifelong friends that I’ve met on trips and ones here at NOVA that I work with. What type of person is especially suited for this field? Anybody that likes people—likes dealing with people—and helping them plan their dreams. But also, I think it takes somebody with a little bit of patience - anytime you’re dealing with the public you need patience. I think it takes somebody that’s flexible, somebody that has a sense of humor – you know the things that are required for most careers. It’s good if you

BULLETIN
BOARD
What kinds of projects and assignments do students complete in Travel & Tourism courses? I teach Travel Geography II online which is Eastern Hemisphere and also Michael Freiband teaches western geography online and we both give students worksheets. A client wants a certain kind of trip and students have to decide where to send them depending on what destinations they’re studying. In some of the other courses, students may be reading articles to see what’s happening in the world and how it affects travel and using the discussion board to discuss different websites and different areas of the industry. Our group class (TRV 220: Principles of Group Travel & Tour Operations) which is taught on campus by Lynn Bostain – she has students plan a trip from start to finish, pricing it, making an itinerary, and making up a brochure – everything for a group. What are some of the jobs students have found after completing the program at NOVA? A lot of them have gone out and become travel counselors (which is the term I prefer instead of travel agents) because it is an entry-level way into the business. But there are not too many brick and mortar agencies now, so we actually have on campus a one-credit homebased travel management class. Because a lot of people want to do what I do—have a home-based travel agency. While I don’t recommend that for somebody right out of college particularly, they can

It’s a good networking field, too. Just the other day I was talking to a friend who had lost her job and she was a representative with a cruise line for about 8 years or so and she got laid off because they were consolidating staff and so forth and she says, ―I got that job because I was here and I networked.‖ And she was very upbeat about her job search because there are just so many different areas you can work in within this field.
Talula stands on a glacier in Alaska work through a host agency that helps them. I’ve had students work for cruise lines, tour companies, car rental companies, airlines, meeting planning – all different types of things. One thing that’s so wonderful about this industry is that you can start out in a hotel and then you can move to a cruise line and then you can move to an airline and in any order. And it’s so versatile! You can work from Washington, D.C. or San Francisco or from Asia. So once you’re in the field, it’s very easy to move around.
What are some of the Travel clubs and organizations students can get involved in for networking? On campus we have the American Society of Travel Agents Future Travel Professionals (ASTA FTP) club. Now you can join that through ASTA if you take classes at NOVA. It’s $80 the first year to become a member, but in order to go to the meetings on campus you don’t have to join anything. We’ve had some great speakers in the past, from an embassy, from an airline, cruise line, and we’ve had some very interesting programs. Anybody can come to those meetings and there’s usually about three a semester. So if students are interested in that then they can call the
