1. Assessing Course Design and Delivery

The design elements of an online or remote course can influence both the teaching and learning that occur within the course. In this workshop, participants will reflect on their online and remote course design and delivery, review standards for high quality course design (Quality Matters and BGSU Rubrics), and share best practices for (re)designing an effective, engaging, and well-structured online course.


Date:
Monday, Aug. 9 from 10:30 a.m. to noon

Register for an Assessing Your Online Course workshop being offered through the Center for Faculty Excellence.

2. Update: Fall 2021 Canvas Webex Decommission

ITS will decommission the Canvas Webex integration at the end of the Fall 2021 Semester. In response to faculty input, the Canvas Zoom integration was implemented during the Fall 2020 Semester as a replacement for Webex. Faculty who have not yet made the transition to Zoom should prepare to do so in the coming months, which includes the export of videos currently stored in Webex. Export instructions and additional information is available at our website.

Questions? Contact ITS at 419-372-0999 or ITSchat.bgsu.edu.
