Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe the effects of an orientation tutorial and teacher
facilitation of e-learning strategies on learners' practices and attitudes while engaged in elearning
credit recovery courses. Specifically, the participants in the study were students in
Performance Learning Center (PLC) classes participating in NovaNET coursework. The
intervention consisted of a multimedia orientation tutorial supported by teacher facilitation. The
results of the study indicated some students in the intervention increased the time spent per
lesson, possibly because of increased note-taking, a strategy taught in the tutorial. Other results
did not indicate a significant effect on e-learning strategies as a result of the intervention. These
results could be explained by the fact that all participants in the study had previously engaged in
NovaNET coursework and had already developed many of the strategies necessary for success in
their e-learning endeavors.
