Presentation Transcript
Agenda Choose your IDA course template Modifying information items and uploads Working with course content task lists Write your welcome announcement Choose artwork
IDA course templates get you organized Two styles available: Single link to a list of content folders OR module links in main menu. Both are good. Barton School tends to use module links in main menu. Hands On Task: Choose a Template!
Templates are simple export files Templates are export files. You can export your own classes this way too. Never unzip a file Good practice to download full course with enrollments at the end of the term Hands On Task: Download one of your own courses as an export file now.
Working with your IDA template When you load in content, always start with your basic tasks. Hands On Tasks: Clean up extra links by deleting. Move menu links around so they make sense. Subscribe to Ask the Professor discussion. Configure for Panopto. If you brought in starter posts in discussions, set yourself as the author. Set a day the course should open to students automatically in the Course Properties.
Time to fill things out! Always start with course information and move on to content. Course information is students first stop in your course after the welcome announcement. Hands on Tasks: Modify items in Information.
Choose artwork IDA has custom artwork for you to choose from. Please pick from the available images. Hands On Tasks: Once IDA modifies artwork for you, upload it as a course banner and as at least one module banner. Then choose a coordinating Blackboard theme if desired. NOTE: depending on number of attendees, artwork might be added later.
Working in the Course Content areas Move on to course content from information, and put materials in order they will be used by students. Hands On Tasks: Set up Module/Week 1 as best you can with a student task list, content, and assignments.
Adding a discussion board to a module Discussion boards must be set up with required points before any student posts, so it s best to set them up right away, even if questions have to come later. Hands On Tasks: Set up one point bearing discussion if using and work through how to link one into a module, including reposting instructions with the course link (step with help)
Deploying honor code quiz if desired The honor code quiz is set up to be worth 0 points. It can be deployed in the first week/module, before the first assignment, or before the first test. Hands On Task: Deploy the honor code quiz if desired.
Next stop: YOUR decision! What is your plan for this course? How can IDA help? For the remainder of the time, you can work on your course and ask questions as you go. IDA will be here to help you along the way.
