Important end-of-semester reminders from library digital learning and IT

As the semester closes, library digital learning and IT would like to share a few reminders with faculty:

  • Faculty will want to keep an archive of the gradebooks for all courses taught for the past five years. If you use the FoxTALE gradebook in your 2018 Fall course sites, you can export each gradebook into a spreadsheet that can be saved outside of FoxTALE. The guide, Downloading the Gradebook, includes a video demonstration on the process.
  • You will want to use your new 2019 Spring course sites to teach your spring-term courses since students are automatically enrolling in these sites. If you would like to import content from another course site, the guide, Importing Course Content, includes a video demonstration and step-by-step instructions.
  • 2019 Spring sites are currently hidden from students. When you are ready, you can give students access to your courses. The guide, Making the Course Visible, demonstrates how to make a course available.
  • You may need to adjust the course start and end dates in each of your course sites. This will assure that your courses are listed correctly in the Dashboard (e.g., courses move from “Future” tab to “In Progress” tab on Jan. 14). The guide, Adjusting Course Start and End Dates, demonstrates how to make this adjustment.
  • Note: Adjusting the course start date does not make the course accessible to students. Only the setting “Course Visibility” enables students to enter the course.

As we move into the season of inclement weather, you are invited to join us for a web conference for ideas on how to conduct a class using a Zoom web conference. We are offering two opportunities for this session. You can receive one clock hour of professional development for participation in this web conference.

You can register for one of these sessions using the form Faculty Sign-up for Development Events.

• Tuesday, Dec. 18, noon to 1 p.m.
• Tuesday, Dec. 18, 4 to 5 p.m.

We hope you find this information helpful. If you would like more information, we encourage you to contact digitallearning@georgefox.edu or servicedesk@georgefox.edu
