Good morning. I am Channell Walker, and I am an instructional designer for DELD and EHE, and I am here to get you all started with Carmen by building your course so welcome to the Webinar and we’re gonna have fun here. Okay, so in this webinar, we are going to go over how to request a master course or a sandbox. We will talk about the dashboard and global navigation we will talk about course, interface the adding a syllabus, adding modules and adding course, content to your course. Okay. So we’re so what we’re going to do from here, we’re going to go to The Carmen canvas site Okay. And we are at Carmen D. Oh, as you don’t And from here you have the Ohio State Landing page, where your courses are listed. So you have a list of all of your courses that you are enrolled in, and this page is very important, because this is where you are going to create your course. If you haven’t already, so I do not have any courses that are not created. But what you can do in order to find any courses that you have not created is use the filter in the right hand sidebar, so you can either search for your course that you’re looking for, or you can filter. So you have all of these different. I’m gonna zoom in here so you can all see this. But you have your different check boxes here, and what I would like to do is I would like to filter based on my not created courses, which, as you can see, I do not have any. But so I can decide to filter through unpublished, and my other courses, or my master courses. So I’m gonna go through and have my unpublished and master courses, and I have gone I’ve managed to filter my list based on that. If you leave everything checked, then you’ll see all of your courses So we also have this Carmen canvas, dashboard, button, which we will get to in just a minute. But in order for you to request a sandbox site, we have down at the bottom on the right hand side. You have the request. Master courses button, so if you do not see this button on your page, you can use the request. A Carmen space link. The difference between these 2 is request a car, and space Link will give you an other course based off of your needs for a sandbox, and they request a master course will give you a course, titled master I found out that graduate students who are teaching courses only have access to request a Carmen space. If you need a master course which a mastercourse is grateful for you to have a sandbox created specifically for your course, you can Create a course, your build, your course within that master core site, and then Take that content and import it into a your actual course site when it’s available. You can do the same thing with your room, request a car and space, other site, and another difference between these 2 between the other and between between request to Carmen Space and request master courses. Master. Courses are faster. There you can request a mastercourse, refresh your page, and you have one request, a Carmen space. You have to act. Someone has to actually make that, Karma site for you and add you to it. And then they’ll tell you later on in the day, how, when you have access to it. So it’s gonna take a little bit more time to request a comment space than to request a master course. But and you can always contact an instructional designer to get a master course for you. But then the instructional designer is in your master course forever, and that is not always helpful. It’s not we here, we can do it. But sometimes, if you just want it for yourself. Then requesting a mastercourse is the better option or requesting a karma space. This, just for you, is may also be the better option for you depending on how you feel about. Okay. So now we can move on to the Carmen dashboard With the Carmen dashboard. You’re going to see your published courses and your unpublished courses. You can also change the view of this dashboard, using the 3 vertical dots a lot on the to the right of the dashboard title. So you can have it as a card, view a list view or based on recent activity. And you can also remove the color overlay. But I don’t see any difference here, so you have the options of doing a list view. Which looks very weird. So if you, it looks very weird for me, because I’m definitely used to the dash dashboard card view, or you could do recent activity. So you could see any announcements, any submissions that have happened. You could do it that way, but I I might be personal preferences to see it in card view. Okay. So you have your published, your unpublished courses. I have on my account nothing but the unpublished courses listed on my dashboard, so you can see the 3 different cards here, and they have their own colors. So each card shows whether or not it’s published or unpublished, so I can move I can zoom in here. So you have your publish button so, since it is so, since it is an unpublished course, you can tell you can. You could click on the button on this card to publish your course without having to go directly into the course and publish it. There we go. We got my tongue corrected. You also have the title of your course. You have the school, and you have the type, of course, that it is so This one is a eag course, template it, go. It is available to everyone with an eag, and it is an other. Of course. You can see here I have 2 master courses have the title. It is a master type course, so it is available only to me and Whoever else I decide to add into this course. But it’s available only to me at the moment, and it is it was created automatically from For the term for the course term the ode course term. So it’s here forever. Kind of okay. And then with each card, I’m gonna zoom back in here with each card. You have the 3 vertical dots in the right hand corner, I’m gonna click on that, and it will show you The color so you can give this course a nickname. So this is better. If I do it on this one, I’ll do it on this one So I have 2 different courses that are named the same thing, and I want to be able to tell the difference. So I’m going to click on the re vertical dots on the right hand side, and I’m going to Call this one. Build your course unfinished, or And then I could change the color. I could choose any of the colors that are Already available, or if I want to do my own color, I could use the hex code, the hex code option. So, if you have a particular color that you would like to use, and you don’t want to use any of the ones that are available, you can type in the hex code for that, for that color. And really Aud, you have to do is go to Google type in color, hex codes color hex codes. And you can see all of these different options for hex codes that you can use, and you can just copy one of those and paste them. I am going to change this back to the original black that I had, which is just 6 zeroes And there it is. It is back to black. Okay, you also have the option to move your card. So, if you have a lot of cards here let’s say you have a ton. You have a whole bunch of published courses and unpublished courses on your dashboard. You do not want them there anymore, you can choose to unfavored it, and that will remove it from your dashboard card. You can move it up. You can move it to the top so you can move your cards around based on where you want them to be, or you could just remove any courses that were from a previous semester. And make your dashboard a little bit easier to look at another way for you to manage your cards is by going to your global navigation, so we’ll get to that in a second. I’m gonna say, with the account here at the top. So what you have here is your account. You have your name, you have your log out button, and then you have your options here, so you’re able to explore all of these options on your own. What I’m going to do is I’m going to show you the notifications option So your notifications. You can change what kind of emails you get. So you can change your settings for a specific course. You can change your settings for your entire account. You can change your Yeah, you can only do it for for specific courses or for the entire account. If you know that you, for your entire account, you do not want to know certain you do not want to be notified on certain things. You can come here and choose settings for account and go through the list. So if you do not want to get a notification About due dates. You can let me see if I can click on the icon. We have the calendar, icon. You have notify immediately. You have daily summary, which is a daily summary email. You have a weekly summary email, or you could turn notifications off So those are your options, and you could go through. There’s a long list of things that you can be alert it to, and if you do not want them you can turn them off Okay. And we’re we’re skipping the dashboard over here in the global navigation. And we’re going to courses. So courses will bring you. Will Britt will push out a Kind of like a drawer menu here or shelf, menu, barrio. That’s probably it. Okay. So you have your published courses and your unpublished courses here. The list that you have here. Let me see the list that you have in your courses. Shelf. Menu is all of the courses that you have in your dashboard. So if you have a lot of courses in your dashboard, you’re going to have a lot of courses in over here. I do not have a lot of courses, so my course list is short, and I also have I don’t have to scroll very far to see my all courses link down at the very bottom so depending on how many courses you have in your dashboard you’re going to see find your all courses list at the very bottom so I’m gonna click on that all courses link. And you can see that I have a lot more courses in my account. Then I do on my dashboard, and you can see That they are these orange and white stars. Next to the names of these courses, so these courses are, I’m going to remove my unfinished building. Your course, Sandbox, and that’ll leave me with 2 courses in my dashboard. If I wanted to be there to be on my dashboard, I will click that star and turn it orange, and it will be on my dashboard Okay. Now, I can go to groups. These are the groups that you yourself are enrolled in. So if you add yourself to any groups, or if you are included in any groups for a course, or if you’ve joined any University groups that use Carmen in order to communicate or uses scarlett in order to communicate. You’ll find those groups listed in your groups on the global navigation here, which is this great sidebar. You have your calendar Calendar in Carmen is very helpful. I think so. You have your calendar, and you are able to look at it based on week, month, and you could take a look at your agenda so it’ll show you all of your meetings throughout on an endless scroll. Pretty much. You also have the option of looking at your calendar in a small way for the month, and the off in the sidebar. You have all of your different calendars. So all of the courses that you have in Carmen are going to be kind of listed are going to be listed here. So you do have to scroll in order to see the rest of them, and then you have your undated stuff. So if you have undated stuff, you’ll see that here, and you also can subscribe to your calendar. Feed. It gets a little tricky from there, though. So we have this plus button next to the agenda to create a new event. This is kind of helpful, so you can add an event to your calendar, which is pretty normal. If you had a meeting that you wanted to go to, or that you have to go to, you can use it basically the same as you would any out outlook calendar, Google Calendar, the calendar on your phone, you can create an event and put it. There you can add an assignment based on your calendar. You could also add a to-do list to your calendar, and it’ll show up on your dashboard, and you can also do an appointment group. This one is really handy. Okay. So with the assignment, the the appointment group. Sorry. With the appointment group. You can set up meetings with your students, and they can sign up for a times long, so I can say that I can set up my office hours Huh! And I would put my zoom link, or I would paste my URL here, for where I want to have my meeting if you’re doing this in person, you can always put your room number that where you’re going to be doing this in person. And if you’re using a virtual meeting, you can paste your URL here, you can select your calendar so you can select the course where you want Where you want to for the students that you wanna create these meetings for. So you can have students sign up in groups if you want, and then you can Have that group set up. You can uncheck this box, and then you have the date and time range. So if I wanted to have this these meetings next Wednesday next Wednesday of next week, and I wanted it from one Pm. Until 3 Pm. Yeah, I would divide into equal slots of 30 min, or maybe even 20 min, and then I will click, go, and it will automatically. It will automatically break up the time, slot into increments of 30 30 min. So that way, I don’t have to and then I can go down to my options here, and I can check the box to limit each time. Slot to one user or more. You can have as many users as you would like And then you could also allow students to see who has signed up for time slots that are still available or not for privacy sake, and then you can let it participate participants to attend one appointment, so they would only be able to sign up for one appointment per day And I could click on, publish. And now I have my office hours listed for next Wednesday So, if you have any meetings that you want to do, you’re able to have students sign up through the calendar. Okay, next is your inbox. So for the inbox, your. This is where you can do emails to students. And you’re able to Create your email. Using this pencil in a box icon, you can select your course so you can select any of your favorite courses which are the courses on your dashboard. And you are able to select any of the Students. You can select any of the teachers in your course, and then you’re able to put a sandbox or no. Sorry I’m reading. You’re able to put a subject That’s just. I have no idea why this is saved in. There could be better, and you can click on. Send an engine visual message to each recipient. If that’s what you need to do for privacy sake, you’re also able to attach files. And at attach media to these emails and then you’re able to send them. And you can email students within Carmen. And they will reply to these emails. And they would show up here in your inbox and Carmen, so you would have to come here and check the email from Carmen. You will get an email notification to your Normal e, it inbox, whichever one is attached to Carmen, and then you will be able to check your inbox here and Carmen, so you will get a little notification bubble when there is an email waiting for you in carmen you have your history and then you have your comments so in Contact. There are resources available for you to download and import into your courses or your sandboxes, if you would like to do that, and there are lots of resources from all over the current the case community. But there’s also resources from the from the Ohio State community, and you can also add resources to comments from your course. So if there is something that you would like to share with your colleagues, or you don’t mind if somebody else from Ohio State uses it in their course, because there’s limited options there, you can either make it available to the University. You can make it available to the canvas community I’m not 100% sure if there’s a private option. But I don’t think so. I don’t think so, but you have the ability to share helpful resources with your colleagues that could benefit them. So if there’s something that you have for your department that you would like to see in all of your courses, you’re if you have a specific homepage that you would like to see in all of your courses for your department, you can add them. To Commons and people and other faculty members can download them into their course and use those then use that homepage. You don’t have to share files within cloud or with a cloud drive, or anything like that. It’s just here on Commons, so what I can show you is some of our delled resources. So we have 2 delled research at the moment we will be adding more in time, but our delled resources we have mid-course survey to evaluate your course, and we have a mid course mid-course survey for student reflection. So if you would like to download any of those and add them to your course, you can. You can click on these items to see the d download and import down download or import button. Off on the right hand side. Add to your favorites and copy resource link to share out to others. You can see the preview of one. It is, you can see the details. You can see the author who this is available to. So this is a for the Ohio system. University community. You can see the grade level, you can see the tags. You could see who it shared with And then you can see version notes. So if there’s ever a a new version that comes out, you would be able to see which version we are on. So if we ever make edits to this survey and put a new one out there, you’ll be able to see what’s been added or changed. Okay. Now we are done with commons. So I’m just gonna go ahead and go back to my dashboard and we’re going to enter our course. Now so I’m gonna click on the title for my course and add what you can see right now is a completely empty course. There’s nothing in here. And so by default, what car? What Carmen does is they show you the create a new module. So you start off by default in the modules page. So you have your course. Navigation, which is to the right of your global navigation, and it has red links here but it’s, you know, dark links on top of a white background for anybody who may not be able to see the color red it’ll be dark on a white background on The left hand side of your course, and then on the right hand side, you have a sidebar for your this. The appearance of this sidebar is for your home page. So you can take a look at your modules. Page Off on the sidebar, and that course Sidebar on the right hand side will disappear because it is attached only to your home. Page in the faculty view it is not part of the student view. Okay. So your course, it shows that your course status I’m going to zoom in. So you have your course status unpublished, publish so this is an unpublished course, and I can click on the button on the right hand side to publish it. Then below that you have your import, existing content. Import from Commons. Choose a home, page, view, core, stream. This is your analy. This is part of your analytics. Another part is the new analytics down below that, and then you have your course setup, checklist your new announcement, and skipping the new analytics, you will go. You can see your view. Course, notifications, so you’re able to change your view. Based on this? But what we’re gonna focus on is import existing content. So we’re gonna click on that button to import existing content. And we’ll come to this page where you can choose your content type. So I’m going to copy a canvas course And what I’m going to do is I’m going to. You can search for a particular course, so I can choose a I could choose to copy a course that I have previous that I’ve done previously, and other semesters. So this is very helpful. If you are trying to create a course for the new semester, and you don’t want to upload any new files you have all of your files in their old course and all you want to do is move that over into the new course and you can do that with this Feature, so you I will choose the like a template course You can choose to either You can either choose to select all content. So everything within your course will be imported into the new course, or you can choose to select specific content. So I’m since this, since specific content pulls up a new one I will go with that one. You can check the box to adjust events in due dates, but you don’t have to You can check that box, and you can shift the dates If you’re a little bit paranoid like me, which I choose to keep this off, and just go in. And manually shift my dates. It’s really up to you. It’s probably a really handy feature, but I’m too paranoid to use it so I can click on this import button now, and you can see that under current jobs you have the job listed. And since I decided to select specific content, the status is set, the status says, waiting for selection, and then I can click on the button to select content if I had chosen to do all content. You would see that it was queued, and it was running, and then it would be done by now. So you have your course. Settings, core settings are good. If you want to keep everything set up the way that it’s supposed to like your home page is set up the way that you want it to be anything that you’ve done, as far as navigation your sidebar navigation, your any of the core settings that we will get into in a few minutes You have those, you will be able to import that into the next course you can add your syllabus if you want to, or you can just go in and find something specific that you would like to add. So I could just add one module. I could add a quiz, or all my quizzes. I can add the call banks, or I can add the pages. I can add rubrics, or just the files. So if I wanted to select a specific file, I could go into the folders and select the specific file. If I wanted to add all of the files I could just check the box next to the top files line, and it shows you that I would have 46 files downloaded so you can have that option. And then I’m actually gonna go with I’m gonna go with the question bank cause there’s only one so I’m gonna select that content. It says that it’s queued. Now that will change to running, but I think it’s only one item. So it may not continue on to that. Okay, so it’s running. And then it’ll say that it’s completed, and it’ll show you a list of issues if you have issues, you can click on the issues link and you can click on the individual links. These items are no longer in this course, because I emptied the course out. But you are able to click on the individual links, and it’ll take you directly. 2 the the issue. So sometimes it’s going to be. And image that is missing. An image is broken. Sometimes there’s going to be a link that’s broken. Sometimes you can see that there’s missing imported content from the syllabus. So you can see that all of these issues are listed here, and you can go directly to them. And then, if there aren’t any issues, sometimes there’s like a Wiki page body or something that it shows that there’s an issue. But if you click on it you may not find anything wrong. So you’re able to ignore that if if if they, if it shows that there’s nothing really really wrong, and it doesn’t hurt any of the functionality that’s going on there, it’s not. It’s not always the most accurate of issues. Issue checkers. I mean some, some, sometimes with my imports. It doesn’t quite work, but if there’s nothing wrong, you get this green completed option and Knowish issues listed. Okay, so. I’m going to go to course settings. So for course settings, we have our tabs at the top course, details, sections, navigation apps, feature appointments and integrations for this. We’re going to focus mainly on course details and navigation sections, apps, feature options and integrations are more for specific needs. If you have any of those you can go over them with your instructional designer. But in general, you just need to focus on course details and navigation. So in course, details you can. Instead of having a color for your course card in your dashboard, you can decide to choose to add an image to your course, so I can choose to have and image So I will whoops I will upload an image, and I will total workshop samples, and I will choose my banner So I now have a banner image for my course in my card, and you’ll see that on the dashboard. And then you have your name for your course and your course code, and then you can scroll down so you can update your participation in as far as term. But you can also restrict students from viewing the course before the term start. Date restricts students from viewing the course after the term end date. I do not recommend checking off the box to restrict students from viewing the course after the term end date. But it’s entirely up to you. As the instructor. How comfortable you are. The university allows students to access their their former courses, I think for about 3 years after taking them, which is kind of helpful. For students, especially in grad school, where you may have where they may have created a piece for our project, or something that would really fit in with a portfolio that they’re getting ready to do. And so maybe when they’re applying for jobs, and they’re looking for portfolio pieces, and they come across a job posting that talks about something that was in your course. And they go. Oh, yeah. I submitted an assignment and that would be a really good portfolio piece. But you know it’s been. It’s been 2 years since I’ve taken that course. They can still log into Carmen and access that course as long as you don’t have this box checked off. It is not this box doesn’t allow students to cheat. They can no longer submit assignments. They won’t be. They don’t. They won’t be able to Share any quiz, questions, or anything like that. It’s really just archival purposes at that point. So keeping this unchecked is a good idea, in my opinion, but it is entirely up to you. There’s one thing that I found out while doing some troubleshooting that I like to share with everyone, and that is this large course. Option. So launch speed grader, filtered by student. Sometimes this gets checked. So if you go into your grade book at some point, and you see that it looks really weird, you might want to go to your core settings and make sure that this box isn’t checked so yeah, I don’t know why you get checked. Sometimes maybe somebody is looking in settings, and they accidentally checked it or there was a glitch that happened. I don’t know, but sometimes in a course, if you go and see that your grade book looks weird, make sure that this box isn’t checked. So now that we have our settings I’m don’t think I have to update course details. Okay. So now that we have our settings, we’re gonna go over to our navigation. The navigation tab controls what you see and what students see in the course navigation sidebar. So what you would like to do in this section is that you want to make it so that way. It’s very easy for students to see what is what it, what is necessary for them to see in the course, not everything that is listed in the sidebar is something that students need to be touching. So you have a list of items here, and not everything needs to be viewed by students. So you have the Sei center for instructors. You can click on the 3 dots to the right hand side of that item and click on the disable option, and that will move it to the list on the bottom, or you can drag and drop items so I can be drag and drop a whole bunch of items that I do not need sin gauge. I do not need students to look at the rubrics. I do not need them to look at my lab, and mastering. They do not need to look at assignments, collaborations, discussions, files, so even though you may have files in your course, students do not need to access the files tab, and that is because they would be able to access files that maybe you aren’t ready to for them to see yet so you Can have files that are published under your files. Page within Carmen that may not be available in your modules. Yet so Carmen is designed for students to access everything in your course through the modules. It’s kind of like your course table of contents. So everything that they need to get to is going to be in your modules. They do not need to access everything. From the sidewalk, and some of the tools that are shown in your sidebar would be a little confusing for students if they were to click on it and view it, especially the assignments page. The assignments. Page is a little bit different. So you don’t need them to access everything and any tools that are in your sidebar on the fault that you are not using in your course. I would recommend taking them off So what I normally have for a quote for just a basic course. You have your homepage link. I like to have the syllabus come next. I like to have the announcements come after that, because these are important, and you want to create this list based on the above, the fold rule for newspapers. If anybody’s in familiar with graphic design and journalism, you know that the the front page information like that’s what people really want you to see. And then, if you have to open the newspaper, that stuff that’s not nearly as important. So you want to do that sort of method here as well. So let me think that students need upfront you’re going to have them close close to the top. So. Oh, they don’t need quizzes either. So we have home syllabus announcements, zoom, modules, people. You can take people you can disable the people. Option if you are not using groups. If you are using groups in your course, then you want to keep people. The people option there because students cannot access groups Just in the modules you can link groups on pages so you can manage it that way. But students will be able to go to the people page, and there would be a tab for groups. So there’s other ways of managing groups here you have your grades. So students can see their grades lockdown. Browser is an option that you can use for your quizzes to keep students from searching the web while they’re taking a quiz. But if you’re not using that just disable it, and then you have the student evaluation of instructor that come, that stays, and the academic policies stay. So now we’re going to scroll all the way down to the bottom and click on, save. And we have just updated our sidebar so I’m gonna go to my home page. I’m going to inter student view. And you can see that student view is active, based on the purple far down at the bottom And now you can see that my sidebar is a lot shorter than it is, even in Instructor view. So I have my so this is what students would be able to see. So I’m gonna leave student view And now I can start adding content to my course. So I’m gonna go to files. And I’m going to add, course files. So what I would like to add is, I would like to upload all of my Files so you can upload a whole folder. But you need to zip that folder loaded, and then, when you have, when you go to upload that zip file, it will give you an option to open it, and you would want to select the open, and then you would have all of your files and folders, exactly the way, that you Had them on your computer replicated in Carmen. So if you had a folder on your computer for your course, and it was an inside that folder, it was a series of other folders based on weeks and each of those weeks has all of the files, necessary you can zip that whole folder and upload it here. You do not have to recreate anything. One of the things that I like to suggest when you’re used, when you upload your files, or when you’re naming your files for your course is that you name your files based on where they’re going to be in your course, because if you have anybody who needs to work in Your course for any reason. I used to have to do. I used to have to take courses from one Lms. And put it in to Carmen, so Sometimes, sometimes depending, on which. Lms. I was taking it from. I would have to rebuild the course, and I have no idea where anything goes. And it was a very long and tedious process, and it was very hard to piece people’s courses back together, because I’m unfamiliar with them. From the beginning. And what’s also very helpful with naming your courses, is being able to search for what you need while you’re building your course in Carmen. So I have this image. That is just the basic generic File name that I got from the Internet. I downloaded it. This is what came up, but what I needed, for in my course I want to rename this. So I want to name this for my module. One, and it’s going to be the first image in my module. One, and then I also want a description of what it is Oh! This will be puppy dog guys that I have. So I wanna have it named for where it is in my course, which is the module one. What order it is on that page. So it’s going to be the first image. And then what it is. So that way. Personally, I know what it is, and that would be very helpful. Once you start to build your course, because instead of Trying to find the 17 dogs, or having to scroll through all of your files in order to find what you’re looking for. You can go into your search bar and just type module. One, and then you will see all of the images that you need for your module in module. One So it’s it’s helpful. I like it. It so you can choose whether or not you would like to follow that advice. So now that I have my files in my course, I can start creating my modules, or I can start with my syllabus that’s where I need to start, so you can add your syllabus with the syllabus tool so here on the syllabus page you have Your course. Syllabus, and you can click on the edit button in order to add your syllabus. Now you can either type your, you can take your syllabus. You could copy and paste the text directly in here, but if you don’t want to worry about formatting, which can sometimes happen if you have tables, if you have lists, if you have images, your formatting can become a little wonky for just from copying, and pasting it into the syllabus. Tool so you can sit there and edit everything and make it look perfect in here, or you can just add the document so that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to add the document. There are different ways that you can add a document to a page in Carmen or so. What I’m going to do is I’m going to find the documents button And I am going to go to my course. But so within those course that course document, I can zoom out, and you can see that there are different documents added to my course. If I had a lot of files in my course, I could choose to search the and try to find my, so I can find my syllabus, and I can click on it, and it’ll add that link to the document in the text box the issue here The issue here is that this text is just the file name, and you can see that is not aesthetically appealing. Not at all. So the other option is that I am going to Type in the name Of the syllabus, so you could do your course. Name, and syllabus. You can just type the word syllabus. I prefer course, name, and syllabus, but that is entirely up to you. I’m going to highlight this text and I’m going to hyperlink it. So I will hyper like it. I will go to my course. Documents. I will do my syllabus again And then I will click on it. It will help the text yellow, and now it is hyperlinked. So we now have a hyperlinked text, and this is very helpful. So now when students come to this page, they can click on this link and download the syllabus. But if I don’t want the students to just download the syllabus and I want them to be able to view the syllabus right here in Carmen, I will click on the I will click on the link options. I will go down to preview in line and check the box, to expand preview by default, and then I’ll click on. Done And then I still have a hyperlinked image. But when I update my syllabus you will see a different. So the difference between a regular download and a expanded preview. As you see, the minimized file preview. Sometimes it takes a while for the document to to load on the page, but as long as you see, minimize file preview, it worked so you can students can still download the syllabus onto their computer because you have the download Icon here but they’re Also able to view the syllabus, so I can expand and view the syllabus. You may or may not have just seen that I have no idea, but I can stretch out my window, and I could see more of the syllabus, and I can scroll down and scroll through the syllabus right on Carmen, and I don’t have to download it onto my computer If I don’t have to. This is really helpful, and you can use this method to add any long form instruction to anything that you need. So if you have an assignment that requires paid multiple pages of instruction, you can add it the same way, and if you have prompts for discussion, or if you have, and a final exam that requires multiple pages of instructions, you can do it this way and students can still view it On, Carmen. Okay, so now we can go to modules and add stuff to our modules. So this is going to be quick. So you have your modules. Page here, and you can add a module on the right hand side. There’s a plus module button, so I’m going to add my getting started Module, and this is where you can add certain items like you can add your syllabus here You can add your syllabus here. I’m going to indent one level for aesthetics, but you can add your syllabus here. You can add academic policies, you can. There’s a bunch of policies and things that could be added to it getting started. Module that we have available for you. If you would, if you need any, you can also make the request or work with your instructional designer, and they will make sure that you have it, and you’re getting started, and then we have our you can add another module let’s go with another Module and let’s call this one module one, and you can name your modules pretty much anything that you want. So if you are going based on a topic or I’ve had informationors who name their modules based on class days. So, if you meet with students 2 days a week, you can have class one a module for class one and a module for Class 2. You can have the if it’s on Tuesdays and Thursdays you can have Tuesday class Thursday class you could do it based on topic. So if you’re talking about The Edwardian period, and you want to go based off of the Oh, my brain is fried at this moment. If you wanted to talk about How King Edward came into power, and then you wanted to talk about the war, and then you wanted to talk about his death. You could, you could basically nate, you can name your modules based off of those topics instead of just going week one or by a specific date. So you could definitely think of this as your table of contents for your course, and you can name it. However, you want other options within here. Do have the option to lock your module. So students will not be able to see the module, or they will not be able to access the module. They’ll still be able to see it. It will be grayed out but they won’t be able to access it until a specific date and time that you specify I think I was redundant there. No mind, anyway. Prerequisites. You also have the prerequisite options, so you can add a prerequisite. So you can tell. Say, well, students need to complete the getting started. Module before they can access module. One. So you can have that option set up. I’m going to leave these alone for the moment until I have some more content here. So you can add everything the students need to work on goes into the module so you can start adding your module content. So we can start with a text header, so we can say Course materials. I’m going to leave that on. Not indented. So that way. It looks nice. So you can have course materials. We can also have a text header for assignments We can have a Text, a text header for assessments. So this would be a quiz or an exam. And then I’m I’m going to start adding content from here. So within my course materials, we will add a filed, and it’s going to be a video. So we’re going to add a Video, we we’re going to add a video. And that is going to be, we should indent that for aesthetics. Add item. So I have a file, and it’s going to be a video. So they’re going to click on this. And they’re going to download it as a video. You can do it that way, or you can add a link to a meeting, or you can embed a video to a page, so I can add a page. Let’s do the page. So we’re gonna create a page. And we’re going to do Module, one lecture. Add, item, it’s all new items show up at the bottom of the list, and you can drag it using the domino on the left hand side to move it into place. So I have my module. One lecture page, and I’m going to click on that title, and it’ll take me to the page, and I will click on the edit button in the top right, and then I will add my video from there. So I have media and I’m going to look at my course. Media. And that course media shows up automatically because I only have one And now I have a video embedded onto the page. I can click on that video. And I can resize it. I can also click on that oops we don’t need that. I can click on that on that page on that video. And I can also center it. I consider it into the in the middle of the page, and then I will save that page. And now I have a video On the page, and I can go back to my modules. And now I have the lecture, and since I don’t need the file anymore, I can remove the file, and I have the module one lecture, and to go along with that lecture, I would like to have a Powerpoint. So i’ my Powerpoint file already uploaded, and I can add that to my list of module items. So now I have my Powerpoint, but I don’t like the file name being there. I don’t like having the Powerpoint tag. I really just want to rename it. So I’m going to have this module one lecture. Powerpoint, because I’m not very creative with names. So here’s my module. One lecture, and I can also edit that to be more, a little bit more specific. And say that this is a video and have my module. One lecture Powerpoint. So that’s available. And then I can move into things like my assignments. So I can have an assignment so I could click on the plus sign. Choose assignment from the list, create an assignment, and then I can say that this is a reading assignment. Add item. So I’m going to click on the title for my assignment. I will move it in place in a minute. So from there you have your reading assignment. Summary page. You have your rubric. We talk about that in the second part of this webinar, and I’m going to click on edit And I’m going to do the same thing that I did with my syllabus. So I’m going to use a course document. And what I’m going to do is I’m going to Put in the title of my reading There! Po I’m going to highlight that I’m going to add my reading I’m going to do my link options preview in line and expand it. Done so. There’s my assignment for reading You can. They can download the link. They can read it, and that can be the assignment. 10 points for reading the assignment, and we’re going to create a group. We’re going to call it readings and add group displayed in points. So mission type there is An online submission type. We’re going to choose text entry and file uploads And then we’re gonna scroll down and we’re gonna give it a due date. And we’re gonna have it. Do On Friday in a couple of weeks and make it available from so students will be able to see it Anytime that I choose for them to see it, so I could choose a specific date and time for them to be able to access. The reading assignment, or I can leave it blank, and it will be available today. As soon as it is it’ll be available as soon as I publish it, and I can also choose the until date, which is the day when I can close the submissions as students will no longer be able to access it. So this is a good way to Limit how late students can submit their assignments. So if you allow students to submit their assignments up until the end of the semester, you can leave this open if you want to make sure students get it in On time or not so late. You can choose the day after it is due And save. So now students have the reading assignment they can read. You can give them instructions and set up. Tell them, hey, you have to write a reflection about what you’ve read, and submit. It. So now I can go back to my modules, and I have my assignment And I can also add a Discussion so I could go a discussion where students can discuss they’re the the reading with other students. So I’m going to say, reading, discussion. I’m going to indent it for aesthetics. Add item, and that reading discussion is there. Click on the title, and I’m going to click on edit in order to Philimine. My prompt. So I’m going to put my prompt In the text box And I’m going to set expectations. So if I want students to reply to 2 other students before they, in order to get credit, you can put that there. Anything that you will put in your settings. So if students can’t see other replies until they’ve submitted, you have your options down here at the bottom to show that you can allow threaded replies. You can make sure that users post before seeing, replies, and then you can allow liking for anybody who wants to like, and then you can also add this to the student to do so. Students would have to do this by the following Saturday, after the assignment is due, and they can talk about it, and it’s available from and until. And I can leave that wide open for discussion and save. So now I have my discussion set up and ready to go, and I could put that under my assignment header, and then for my assessments. I can give them a quiz on the readings, so create quiz, so Reading, review, quiz. I’m going to put that in readings. I’m going to indent it for aesthetics and add item. So there it is in my module. I can click on the title, and I come to my quiz summary page, and I can click on edit, and then I can set my expectations in the text box and we go over quizzes in more depth in the in webinar too. I think i’m gone way over, but I can tell, and then we have it as a graded quiz, and you have all of these settings which we go over in Webinar, too, so you can check it out there. If you have any questions about it, or you want to know more, and then I can do my due date for the quiz. And let’s say I want that to be done. Let’s say fairly soon after we have our discussion of the class, and then I can save that now I’m going to go to my modules. So we have added text headers who are module. We have added modules that we have added a lecture video page. We have added Powerpoint File. You have added a reading assignment, a reading discussion, and a quiz So I am going to add one more module. This is going to be module 2 I’m going to lock Module 2 until After the quiz is done, and let’s say I Don’t want it until maybe 10’clock pm. So I’ll save that, and then I’ll also add the prerequisite of module. One So they have to complete module one in order to access module 2 and it will be locked until after the quiz. So I add that, and now you can see that for module 2, it has a prerequisite setup, and it will unlock February the fifteenth. At one Pm. Issue with this setting is that this module is not published. So I’m going to show you in student view what this looks like. So you can see here in module one. We have 2 items that are have the green checkmark, and they are published, and you can see in getting started. They have a green checkmark for an item that is published. Keep that in mind, because in student view they have nothing. They have absolutely nothing. So I’m gonna leave student View. The reason why they don’t have anything is because the modules are not published. So on the module, title, page, title, line. You have to click on the crossed out circle to publish the module. So I’m gonna enter student view one more time. So you can see getting started has been added to to student view so they can now access the getting started module. I can check on the published, and it will publish everything. In module one, even if it was set to unpublish before. If there is something in module, one that you do not want them to see, yet you can hide it. So if there’s something that’s specifically for instructors, you can unpublish that item. But and it would. And even though the module is set to publish that one item in their will, not show up The issue with having module 2 is that it will not unlock. On February fifteenth, at one Pm. Because it is not published. If you want the automation to work, you have to give Carmen permission. To put through the automatic command. That means you have to make sure the module is published, and once that module is already checked for, publish, then Carmen will follow through with the automation. It will not override your desire to keep something hidden so I’m gonna go into student view one more time, so you can see that getting started. Is there, and module one is there module 2. In student view. Shows that students need to have module. One completed, and it will, on unlock on February the fifteenth, at one Pm. But it shows that it is grayed out, and that it is locked Okay. So if you follow through with all of these pieces, you will have your course set up and ready to go. So thank you for attending this webinar.
