Week's End Report - Sept. 18, 2015

Tip of the Week!

Have a student who missed class or requires accommodations that can best be met with a printed version of a test from Blackboard? Respondus now allows us to retrieve tests from Blackboard for printing in paper format. 

While it is recommended to give tests online through Blackboard wherever appropriate, you can download a paper version of a test from Blackboard by opening Respondus and clicking on the Retrieval & Reports tab. From that screen click the Retrieve Questions button. From the following screen click the Print Options button, select the exam and click the Save to File button.

Training Opportunity

A new section of Introduction to Community College Instruction: Getting Results begins on Monday, October 5, 2015. The course is a six-week, online professional development course. Though the course is geared towards new faculty, experienced faculty may participate as well, space permitting.

If you're interested in participating, contact Rebecca Springs at rsprings@ivytech.edu by Monday, Sept. 28th. Please let Rebecca know whether you are a full time or adjunct instructor and whether you are new or returning faculty.
