Hi Otis,
Using social media is a great way for faculty to engage students, as it is undoubtedly part of our culture. Students increasingly socialize and network through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, SnapChat, Pinterest, Tumblr, Google+, and other social media platforms on a consistent basis. Why not meet students where they are–right?!?

As we face the challenges involved with bringing our documents up to ADA “snuff,” we came across SensusAccess (sensusaccess.com). This is a self-service web-based document conversion service.
It can convert documents to different file types, including creating audio files from text.
It can do the OCR for images.
It will also create flowable…[Read more] -

I would be interested in hearing from someone who has used the audio feedback and can share how students responded? It is often a challenge to get students to read the feedback at all. So this would need to be very user friendly to make it easy for them to use?

Thanks for an interesting experience. I have attached my Implementation Plan draft. While I deleted much of the workshop content, I retained my Action Items, Notes and the work generated from the workshop. Completing the SWOT analysis with the faculty member who attended the Workshop with me may have been the most beneficial because I was able…[Read more]

Michael McCurdy started the topic Implementation Plan – McCurdy in the forum Day 2: Implementation Plan 7 years, 7 months ago
We have just started working on implementing an Teaching Online course at Seminole State. Though our course framework is over 12-weeks, I wanted to see how our frame work would look in the supplied 5 week model from TOPkit. It was interesting to see what to scale back on and what to combine.
Excelsior!

Hello Michelle,
Thanks for sharing your Solo checklist. This looks like a great way to help faculty look objectively through their course. I like how you’ve simplified some items to help the review process feel a bit less “overwhelming”.I noticed that you included quite a few links to resources that faculty can access if they find that they…[Read more]

Yes, I couldn’t agree more Michael! This tip becomes exponentially more valuable as class size increases. I often advise faculty if you get the same question from 2 students, consider messaging the class; if you get the same question from 10 students, consider revising your course content or adding a more detailed explanation via video.

I have not heard of this tool yet Marilyn. It sounds pretty cool. Do you have a sample instructor introduction you might be able to share?

Wendy Howard replied to the topic Reducing the Noise – Targeted Communication in the forum Share an Effective Practice 7 years, 8 months ago
That sounds almost like the “Message Students Who” feature in Canvas. It’s true, people respond to personal messages – students, faculty, all of us. You point out a very good warning though. It could backfire if you overuse the “automated personalization” and they catch on.
