This paper describes the Orange Plan, a learning support system at Orange Coast College (California) which creates alternatives to traditional educational experiences. The Orange Plan is composed of four subsystems: (1) learning contracts, (2) information systems, (3) resource consultants, and (4) interdisciplinary studies courses. Each subsystem is designed as an alternative to existing systems within the educational institution--classroom learning, textbooks, teachers, and discipline curriculum. The Orange Plan is intended to be holistic and integrated, using tools of the current system (classes and curriculum) and adding components which allow the student to fulfill personal and social objectives while satisfying content requirements. The bulk of this document consists of statements of program goals and means available to the student for achieving them; a description of the Plan's contract learning, specifying objectives, procedures, responsibilities, and evaluation; a description of the information system; and a brief description of the Orange Plan's interdisciplinary courses. An institutional evaluation report and recommendations pertinent to the Plan are attached. (Author/JDS)
