[edit] Organize Your Courses
In order to keep your courses organized on your home page, you can edit how your courses are displayed. By organizing by semester, filtering out which courses you are taking now, versus which courses you’ve taken in the past becomes much easier.
You can learn how to do so here.
[edit] Create an Assessment
To best utilize Angel's resources, you can create an Assessment right inside of your course. An assessment is essentially a test taken in your course, and is graded immediately (in most cases), and is saved for future reference.
You can learn how to create one here.
[edit] Compatibility
Compatibility is always a huge issue, especially when teaching an online course. Ensuring compatibility through some minor changes can help avoid moments when students can't open uploaded assignments, and you can learn how to do so here.
[edit] How to use Cascade
Cascading is a feature in eLearning which allows settings applied to a folder to either be passed along to all items in a folder, or none. You can learn how to use it here.
[edit] DimDim
Because of the recent decision to no longer use Wimba for eLearning, we did research on various different conference programs, and decided on the free-to-use DimDim.
You can access DimDim here, and read the tutorial here.
If you do decide to use DimDim, you should read how to share it with your students here.
[edit] iSpring
iSpring is a free program that converts PowerPoints into easy to access flash videos. Although we do not use iSpring on campus, you can feel free to use it at home for personal use. You can learn about how to use it here.
