FoxTALE beginning-of-semester reminders
Sign up for FoxTALE webinars and workshops this week to see the new features available with our Dec. 31 upgrade or to get your course site ready.
Use your new, empty 2014 Spring sites as the sites in which you will teach. You may import content from another course site. See the instructions here for importing.
Spring 2014 sites are currently hidden from students. When you are ready, you can share the sites with your students. Here is a quick guide on how to make the courses available: FoxTALE Making Courses Visible (Available) to Students.
If you used the FoxTALE grade book for any of your FoxTALE course sites, we recommend that you back up your 2013 Fall grade book to a spreadsheet that is saved outside of FoxTALE. See the instructions here for backing up grades. You will want to keep an archive of your course grades that cover the last five years.
If your course site is set to “Weekly” format, your course might show incorrect dates. To change the dates, go to Administration > Edit settings on the course home page. Change the course start date to the first day of your course. Scroll to the bottom of the page and save changes.
