Title: Week 0 Begins Today!
Course: TOPkit

Hi Everyone!

Week 0 officially starts today. Some of you have already gotten a head start on the Week 0 activities, which is great! There are quite a few things to complete this week in order to get started, but the most important one is to schedule your first consultation with your instructional designer (ID) if you haven't already. Your ID can help you sort through the list of Week 0 activities below as well as set the stage for a successful semester:

1. Complete the IDL6543 Course Orientation

- Take the Instructure Canvas Student Tour
- Review the Explanation of Research letter
- Complete the Getting Started Quiz with a score of 80% or higher.
- Post to the Introduction Discussion

1. Schedule a consultation with your instructional designer

- Complete the IDL6543 Participant Survey
- Complete the Faculty Course Completion Plan
- Bring a syllabus example to your consultation
- Browse existing banners to obtain ideas

1. Complete the Orientation to the Build Your Course Activities

- Access your Webcourses@UCF development course
- Explore the communication tools in Webcourses@UCF

Please be sure to complete all of these tasks prior to the first week of class so that you don't start the course feeling one step behind.

If there's anything we can assist you with in the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact either of us.

We look forward to seeing all of you next Friday!
