Athabasca University has just relaunched the online undergraduate student orientation.  The goal of the project has been to gather information spread across many pages and resources into a comprehensive, single-stop experience for new AU students.  Both prospective and current students will find useful information throughout the various topics in the orientation, but this introductory video is a good place to start:
