Gradebook Workshops Next Week
Take advantage of three open sessions next week to help you set up, organize and fine-tune your Moodle gradebook to align with your syllabus.
The Moodle gradebook enables you to:
* Integrate all graded activities (including in-class assessments)
* Provide students immediate, private, and formative assessment
* Reduce time addressing student questions about grades
* Reuse the grading setup the next time you offer the course
Location: Lindell Library 301
When:
Tuesday (September 1) 1:00-2:00 p.m.
Wednesday (September 2) 9:00-10:00 a.m.
Thursday (September 3) 10:00-11:00 a.m.
You will receive support from a member of our E-Learning Team and can come and go when you can. Plan on allocating approximately 30 minutes.
Walk-ins are welcome. If you know you are interested, you can let us know with which course you want to build. The E-Learning Team will prepare some initial steps to get you going quickly. Bring your laptop if you like, but we will have technology available if you don't.
We look forward to helping you!
