Week's End Report - Aug. 12th

Tip of the Week!

Every semester the Greater West Central region performs online course checks of all online sections originating in the region. We've put together an informational video that talks about why we perform course checks and specifically what we're looking for when we do a course check. We explore the Getting Started website, where the information needed to set up your online and face-to-face courses may be found. Lastly, we present a demo of a course check, during which we explain more about exactly what we're looking for.

The full video may be accessed here: https://youtu.be/qQsh6J-ijT0

The Getting Started website contains links to specific sections within the video, go to the Getting Started website for more information: http://bit.ly/idcgettingstarted
