Clarkson’s Teaching & Learning Corner (TLC) welcomes everyone back with a few final reminders and guidance to help ensure a successful semester start.
Time to Show your Course in Moodle. Your students are looking in Moodle for your course. Turn the Hide to Show now (here’s how) so they will see it in their My Courses list and can access any pre-term information you wish for them to have, including distributions from your News & Announcements forum. Consult our recently updated Course Start Up Checklist which contains helpful reminders and links for showing your Moodle course, recording with Echo, updating resources and more.
Prepare for Remote Learning. Preparations for remote learning should include a proactive communication plan that begins this week with messaging to students to describe how they can start successfully in your course. Instructors will want to consider leveraging available tools in Moodle, Zoom, Echo360 and more to conduct e-learning activities including online orientation and community building, pre-recorded lectures, asynchronous activities, synchronous online sessions and more.
Attend this week’s TLC Course Preparedness Work Session to prepare for Recording, Webcasting, and Sharing with Echo360 or Zoom. The TLC will host this live online work session to help you successfully:
- make the best choice of technology to meet your instructional needs
- request your LIVE Echo360 lecture capture schedule
- set up the External Tool in Moodle so students can access your recordings
- take advantage of Echo’s NEW method to easily share Zoom recordings to students (time saver!!) and more.
Session is 12:00 P.M. to 1:00 P.M. EST. Live Zoom meeting and calendar appointment available when you Register.
