Instructors: A reminder that class begins January 11, 2024. The following checklist will help you with pre-term course preparations:
Show Your Course in Moodle
Students need access to their courses in Moodle prior to the start of term. To make that happen, instructors must turn their Moodle course from Hide to Show. Early access helps to avoid first day jitters. Students can confirm their enrollment and access any pre-term information you wish to convey. Instructors can select which information students can see, hide all the rest until a later time. So go ahead, and show that course now!
Put Your Best Foot Forward
The following curated list will help Instructors to publish course materials inside Moodle:
- Draft the Course Syllabus
- Post the Course Syllabus
- Course Import
- Add course image and other ‘Getting Started‘ information.
- Remove unneeded and duplicate content from the Moodle course page.
- Update headings and sign posts within the course making navigation for students clear
- Set up content and activities for course modules.
- Update and check dates in assignments, quizzes and other course activities.
- Request Echo360 Recording through Faculty Center
Link your Echo360 recordings in your Moodle course. - More Moodle Support
Get Acquainted with Classroom Technology
For those teaching in classrooms, it is a good practice to get acquainted with your classroom before the first day of class. Take time to stop by to confirm location, login to the computer and become familiar with controls for overhead projection, microphone audio, webcasting/recording options and pen touch tablet.
