Tip of the Week!
As the semester nears an end, it is time for us all to close out our courses. There are a number of records that may need to be created, depending on the needs of your course and your school. It's easy to forget how to do these things since we only do them a few times per year! Fortunately the Finalizing Your Course website has more information!On this site you will find:
- Tips for finalizing your course
- How to archive Outlook e-mail (archiving cannot be done from OWA web e-mail)
- Exporting grades from Blackboard
- How to save documents as PDF
Some tips for finalizing your course include:
- Be sure to put in 0's in the Blackboard grade center for all assignments on which your students did not earn points (see Dec. 11th post to find out why this is critical: http://itccde.blogspot.com/2015/12/weeks-end-report-dec-11th.html)
- Rather than printing a document and scanning to PDF on your office copier, refer to the website above for instructions on saving Microsoft Office documents directly to PDF format
- Grades are due Tuesday, May 10th at midnight; you will not be able to submit grades via Campus Connect after that time, though you may submit them at any time prior to the deadline
- Post a closing announcement letting your students know that the class is over and you will no longer be monitoring the course in Blackboard; restate your contact information so your students can easily reach you outside of Blackboard
