To address these research questions, a needs assessment was conducted to determine whether learners perceived a need for access to wellness resources. Finding that they did express this need, the assessment then identified the specific wellness resources to include in the OWRC. A schematic was then created for OWRC development, incorporating the results of the needs assessment. The specific contribution of this study is its ability to provide a model that other institutions can follow to establish their own OWRCIn Copyrightwellnessinstructional designstudent support servicesdistance educationDissertationhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-12042001-175131/
