Welcome to the short how-to video on accessing the Success Seminars. The purpose of the online Success Seminars is to provide you essential information you will need as a student with Chamberlain College of Nursing. You will have access to these seminars throughout your enrollment in the nursing program, beginning in NR101, so you can review them anytime and anywhere you need.
Success Seminar topics include the following: Note Taking Strategies, Test Taking Strategies, Basic APA Writing, Financial Awareness, Anatomy and Physiology Success Strategies, and Medical Terminology Review, Time Management Strategies, Stress Management Strategies, Career Readiness.
Each seminar is accessible online. During the NR101 course, you will be directed to review specific seminars to prepare for class or other activities. Your faculty member will facilitate in-class discussion to help you and your classmates apply the concepts that will assist you with academic success. Now that you know the purpose of the success seminars, let’s move on to instructions on how you can access and use them.
First, log into your e-college page via this link, nursingonline.chamberlain.edu. Go to the special courses section of your course list and look for the success seminars link. Once you are in the success seminar course, read the introduction for an overview of how it is set up to help you reach your goals. Locate the announcement section to check for updates and important information about the success seminars each time you enter the course. On the left side of the screen, you will see tabs with the titles of each success seminar. Simply click the title you wish to view for access to that success seminar. For example, click on the tab for note-taking seminar. Note that the module tab will open a couple of page links with the following titles: Self Directed Module and Assessments. Click on the Self Directed Module page to view the additional topics within the Note Taking Seminar.
On the Self Directed Module page, you will see the list of topics covered in the seminar. You may access the whole set of topics for the seminar to view at one time or you may choose to view items one at a time. Some items are downloadable documents whereas others are recorded presentations. To watch the recorded presentations, click on the play button and provide the information requested. Make sure you use your Chamberlain assigned student email address. Be sure to click on the ‘remember me’ box, so you’ll be able to come back at a later time and resume the presentation where you left off. The recorded presentation will begin as soon as your login is accepted. You cannot skip ahead in the presentation during the first viewing, however, once you have viewed the entire recording, you’ll be able to return to Topics and Slides for review by clicking on the section you wish to review in the left hand menu of the presentation page.
After completing each Success Seminar, you’ll be presented with two surveys. The first is the completion survey which is included at the end of the seminar presentation. Completing this survey after viewing the entire presentation will enable you to print or download a completion certificate. A ‘get certificate’ window will pop up which will allow you to print or download the certificate. Open the certificate as an Adobe Acrobat item and then save it for uploading into the Dropbox as needed.
The second survey is the Success Seminar Evaluation Survey. Please complete this separate survey to give the college feedback on your Success Seminar experiences and to provide us ideas of how we can improve or enhance the modules you viewed. Our goal is to provide you the support and positive learning environment you need to ensure your academic success in the Nursing program. Congratulations. You have completed the how-to access the Success Seminars overview. If you have any specific questions about the Success Seminars, please contact your course instructor.
