Virtual Tour

Administrator Input Form, http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/input/

We developed this form as a way to engage participants in the site before showing them the rest of the site. We hope you will take a couple of minutes to fill out the form before going on to the rest of the site.

Send a Paper Form, http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/tutor/send.paper.html

This is the form that students use to send papers for tutoring. When students click the send button, a series of actions are taken. For an overview of the process, you can view a clickable imagemap (http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/tutor/tour/owl.tour.html) or read about the process (http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/technology/forms.html#student_paper).

Sample Papers, http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/samplepapers/

Student papers are stored in a password-protected directory on the server to protect students' privacy. We deleted personal information and posted a couple of papers (with the students' permission) so that others could see what submissions look like.

Meet the Tutors, http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/tut.profiles/

Short biographies of the online tutors.

CCD Writing Handouts, http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/handouts/

Students may access these handouts directly, or tutors may place a link to relevant handouts within their responses so that students have easy access.

Evaluation Form, http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/email.eval.html

Students are asked to evaluate their online tutoring sessions.

Writing Spaces, http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/writ.spaces/

Spaces where students can write. Activities include sending postcards to friends and family, adding lines to poetry in progress, and learning new, obscure words.

Teacher Resources, http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/teach_resource/

Currently, the Teacher Resources section consists of Ruth Brancard's Resources for ESL Composition Teachers. The result of 2 years of research, Ruth put together these comprehensive lists of annotated resources. We hope to add more sections to this area such as resources for business writing, tech writing, etc.

Online Tutoring Statistics, http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/tutor/owl.stats.html

Using counters, we keep track of the number of "hits" to the main Online Tutoring page as well as how many papers have been sent. For more information, see Counters at http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/technology/extras.html.

Server Statistics, http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/stats/

Complete statistical reports on the number of hits the OWL Server receives, including daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, domain, browser, and page reports. 

Technology Overview, http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/technology/

Each technological feature of the OWL is described in layman's language (we hope) with examples and links to relevant parts of the site.

This tour focuses on some of the highlights of the OWL site. Feel free to browse through the site in your own way at http://owl.ccd.cccoes.edu/owl/.
