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?!?

Here is my copy of our institution’s implementation plan. I’m particularly interested in the research questions others asked in their plans. The questions I developed focused primarily on faculty response to the training and how faculty utilize the training takeaways in their own classes. I’m curious to hear more about what other institutions have…[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.

I agree this is a great idea Ryan.
When I first read Allison’s post I was thinking in terms of designing a new course, but as I read your reply I started thinking this could also be a great tool for updating an older course. I suspect through the process of mapping out the current course organization, one would spot gaps or areas for improvement.…[Read more] -

Cindy,
That blueprint sounds like a great resource that serves as the cornerstone of good course design for your faculty. Do you have a template that you might be willing to share? -

Thank you for sharing this Alexandra. I didn’t realize Instructor offered this open course. I will definitely share it with our team. We’re working on a 1-pager quick guide for faculty who are recording their own videos in Canvas. I’ll come back and share that once it’s ready.
In the meantime, does anyone else have a quick tips sheet that we…[Read more]
