Links to outside materials and resources along with contact information are essential as well. https://padlet.com/depd1/wrnkyy816782/wish/153566389 Chad]]> 2017-02-13 20:35:55 UTC https://padlet.com/depd1/wrnkyy816782/wish/153566389 Instructions on how to navigate Canvas and multiple other components of this particular course were displayed in the Webinar and also in reading material provided to all students. https://padlet.com/depd1/wrnkyy816782/wish/154068386 Stacey]]> 2017-02-15 16:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/depd1/wrnkyy816782/wish/154068386 In a fully online course, it is essential to have ice-breaker activities, such as short introductions. However, it is also important to walk away from the same old standard intros and, instead, encourage students to share specific information. For example, in this course two questions were suggested.

I have recently started making more use of the internal link when I develop modules. https://padlet.com/depd1/wrnkyy816782/wish/154681027 Virginia]]> 2017-02-17 19:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/depd1/wrnkyy816782/wish/154681027 I have used a video introduction for students to make it more personable. Also I do a video overview of the course to assist the more visual learners. I added an intro icebreaker for the students which some enjoy as well. https://padlet.com/depd1/wrnkyy816782/wish/154688417 -Michelle]]> 2017-02-17 19:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/depd1/wrnkyy816782/wish/154688417 Two additional comments not already mentioned are setting the tone and developing a sense of community week one. I am having trouble with this padlet..so will finish.

I also like to have another "eye" look at my instructions, especially for projects. Someone that doesn't know your course content or isn't aware of the project...does it makes sense to them? are the instructions clear? is it clear whet the expectations are? I also like the use of the getting started checklist as well. One of the things I would like to explore incorporating into my class is the tool that allows students to check "complete" as we do in this class...what a great way to stay organized! https://padlet.com/depd1/wrnkyy816782/wish/155727150 2017-02-23 13:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/depd1/wrnkyy816782/wish/155727150 Julie, it is fantastic that you provide your instructors with a Getting Started Module! Very helpful to provide this information. - Karen depd1 https://padlet.com/depd1/wrnkyy816782/wish/156141494 2017-02-24 20:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/depd1/wrnkyy816782/wish/156141494 I like the idea of a video introduction to the course, including a walkthru of Canvas for new users.
