Nearly a third of all college students are enrolled in at least one online course, and that number continues to grow. Meeting students where they are means bringing student services and supports to online learners by creating innovative ways to carry out traditional student affairs functions. This book shares best practices, case studies, examples, experiences, and ideas for supporting online learners through their college experience. The first section focuses on preparing for the everchanging higher education landscape and situating student affairs in the 21st century. The authors address how to support learners taking hybrid and fully online courses within virtual learning environments and how to educate and support 21st-century students. The second section focuses on the paradigm shift needed to bring traditional student affairs work to the online environment. The authors address how individual functional areas within student affairs can provide services and supports to students who take their courses 100% online and to traditional on-campus students who take online courses. The third and final section explores leveraging technology to advance the work of student affairs for online learners. Tools discussed include learning management systems, virtual conferencing systems, online integrative cocurricular programming, digital badging, and virtual learning communities.
