Workshops, Directed Learning Activities and Directed Study Groups

Post

If you need to complete a DLA online, follow these simple instructions. SLA is offered in three forms:

  • Workshops - 60-minute interactive sessions led by an Instructional Specialist. Appointments recommended as space is limited.
  • Directed Study Groups (DSG) – 60-minute interactive sessions led by a tutor. Appointments recommended as space is limited
  • Directed Learning Activities (DLA) - 60-minute individually-completed activities that include a brief consultation with an Instructor or Tutor; no appointment necessary.

Please be sure to bring your student ID number to the Success Center.

Workshops & Directed Study Groups

The LBCC Success Centers provide workshops and directed study groups in a small group setting to help students learn class material that is typically more challenging. Students leave workshops and DSGs more confident in their understanding and ability to apply trickier course content.

Our instructors and tutors deliver the material in an engaging and student-centered manner, whenever possible giving students a more hands-on experience.

The following classes offer Workshops or Directed Study Groups:

  • ENGLISH: ENGL 105, 801A 
  • MATH 110, 130, 140
  • VOCATIONAL NURSING: VN 215, 220, 230
  • FOOD & NUTRITION (Spring Semester only)
  • REGISTERED NURSING: ADN 12B
  • READING: 82, 883AX
  • LIFE SCIENCE: ANAT 41, PHYSI 1

Directed Learning Activities

Directed Learning Activities are individual activities that are assigned by your class instructor and completed in the Success Center.  Students work independently to complete the assigned DLAs, which are typically 60-90 minutes in length, and at the completion of the DLA, the student meets with a Success Center staff member for a follow-up session.

The following classes offer Directed Learning Activities:

  • ART 1, 2
  • ALLIED HEALTH: AH 60, AH 220
  • CHEMISTRY: CHEM 2
  • COUNSELING: COUNS 1
  • CULINARY ARTS: CULAR 202, CULAR 241
  • ENGLISH: ENGL 1, 105, 801A
  • FAMILY & CONSUMER STUDIES: FD 24, F_N 228
  • LEARN 11
  • MATH 110, 130, 140
  • MEDICAL ASSISTING: MA 270
  • NURSING: ADN 12B and VN 215, 220, 230
  • READING: 82, 883AX
  • SOCIOLOGY: SOCIO 1
  • TRADES: MTFAB 50, 220B and ELECT 200A, 210A

Complete Your English or Reading SLA Online

To complete your SLA requirement, please do the following:

  1. Log in to the WRSC Canvas Page.
  2. Download the Directed Learning Activity (DLA) of your choice from the WRSC Canvas page. (You must download it and save it to your computer to complete the form successfully.)
  3. Complete the DLA, and save it to your computer. Use your Full Name as the title of your file.
  4. Complete and submit the WRSC Appointment Request form. (Note: We use Skype to meet with students. If you cannot use Skype, please note your preferred method of contact on the form, and we will do our best to accommodate you.)
  5. After you submit the form, you will receive an email confirming we have received your request.
  6. You will then receive a second email confirming that we have made your appointment.
  7. Sign into Skype. We recommend you sign in 5-10 minutes before your appointment so that you will not miss the tutor’s call.
  8. If the tutor does not call after 10 minutes, email us at wrsc@lbcc.edu with the subject line “No Call.”
  9. Once you are finished reviewing your DLA with a tutor, the tutor will email your instructor as proof you have completed the activity.
  10. Repeat this process for each of the three DLAs before each activity deadline.
