FoxTALE 1.9 upgrade subject of faculty teaching forum Oct. 29
A faculty teaching forum, “FoxTALE 1.9: Upgrade and Grade Book Changes,” will be presented from 3:40 to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29, in the Hoover 211 computer lab.
FoxTALE will be upgraded to version 1.9 between the fall and spring semesters. Come to this session for a peek at the new features and especially the new grade book. The grade book has been completely rewritten in version 1.9, and you’ll want to know how to prepare for spring semester, especially if you use a complex grading scheme with weighted categories. Leading the discussion will be presenters Russ DeVore, Gloria Doherty and Sheila Abercrombie (IT).
The session is open to all faculty; however, it will be geared toward those who are already using the grade book. A separate Portland Center session will be scheduled in November. IT will provide additional training sessions in January; however, if you use a more complex grade book, you are encouraged to attend now so that you can prepare.
