How can technology assist the OC in delivering effective orientation?

Using online platforms for virtual orientations and resource sharing is a highly effective way for the Orientation Committee to leverage technology. This approach allows for flexibility in delivery, enabling participants to engage with materials and each other from various locations. Virtual orientations can accommodate large groups, potentially include interactive elements such as polls or Q&A sessions, and can be recorded for future reference, increasing accessibility for those who could not attend live.

Moreover, online resource sharing can provide immediate access to essential documents, schedules, FAQs, and other materials, ensuring that new members have everything they need at their fingertips. This method is especially advantageous in reaching diverse audiences, particularly those who may be remote or have varying schedules that make traditional face-to-face orientations challenging.

In contrast, marketing through social media is helpful for outreach but does not directly enhance the orientation experience itself. Providing printed materials may be beneficial in some contexts but lacks the interactivity and immediacy of digital resources. Conducting in-person meetings only can restrict participation and may not be feasible for everyone, limiting the potential audience and resources available at the orientation.
