Eastern Michigan University
Connections, by Paul A. Gore, Wade Leuwerke, and A. J. Metz
An Eastern Michigan University Edition of Step by Step was first published in 2013 for the fall UNIV 101L, Introduction to the University, skill-development course, and included an "Insider's Guide" of academic resources, as well as student objectives and assignments. Their attractive text, a shade of EMU green, also featured faces of the student community. Supplemental coverage in the custom, a collaboration between faculty and administration who worked closely with the Bedford/St. Martin's custom team, reinforced course goals to help first-time and transfer students develop skills necessary to study at the university level, navigate their financial and academic situations, and engage in a multicultural community. Eastern Michigan University continued using Step by Step through 2015, investing time each year to reassess objectives and update assignments. In 2016, however, impressed with Connections, and especially ACES, the powerful student self-assessment tool contained within LaunchPad for Connections, the school shifted to align their orientation course with a new custom text, and the Bedford team worked closely with the director of academic support programs in this transition. Thanks to the support of their sales representative team, UNIV 101L faculty and students now benefit from Macmillan media resources successfully integrated with their Canvas learning management system.
