Week's End Report - Aug. 4th

Tips for the Week!

Your course may not be loaded for you - Check the website!

IncludED and OER courses are being loaded by C4IT, Regional online courses are being loaded by the Instructional Design Center (IDC). Statewide courses will be loaded by the faculty member teaching the course. Don't know what type of course you're teaching? Don't know whether you should load content or how to load content that should be loaded? Wondering how to set up your course once the content is loaded?

The answers to these questions and many others can be found on the Getting Started website:

New course IDs - The naming convention for course IDs has changed. 

For example, a traditional, face-to-face PSYC101 course in the spring might have had a course ID of PSYC101-30D-D1-201630. In the fall course IDs will now have a new suffix of -TR (traditional), -H (hybrid), or -I (internet/online). Your new course ID may look like this: 

PSYC101-30D-D1-201720-TR

[Course name]-[section number]-[campus ID]-[semester code]-[course type (traditional/face-to-face, hybrid, or internet/online, this is not days of the week)]

Course Start and End dates - These dates should not be changed.

In IvyLearn in our course Settings area the course start and end dates are editable fields, however these dates should not ever be changed for any reason. These fields are automatically populated with the correct dates. Changing the dates may give students access to their courses early or may prevent them from completing the course within the timeframe guaranteed them by college policy.
