eLearning Community on hiatatus

For anyone curious, the Washington eLearning Community is currently in a state of suspended animation.




WaeLearn Undergoes Carbon Freeze


For now we won't take down the list of presenters or presentation dates.  Hopefully be the end of October the group that shepards this community will have time to thaw things out and reorganize.  Some of us have moved into new jobs.  Others are simply swamped with fall term rolling back around.  Stay tuned.

Tomorrow, Thursday, August 16th, at 1 PM, Pacific, Brandy Long of Lake Washington Institute of Technology will give a presentation and lead a conversation on grading and the gradebook in Canvas.

Brandy’s description of the session: An overview of the CANVAS gradebook, to include entering grades and comments using speedgrader and the gradebook and a brief description of the types of comments that can be added. Time permitting, will also discuss extra credit, muting assignments, alt views, and category weighting

Anyone is welcome to attend.

We had around 45 people and a full day's agenda. Today's eLearning community session will be a review of yesterday's material for anyone interested and a general open office hour from 1 PM, Pacific. Anyone is welcome.

Thursday, July 26th at 1 PM, Pacific, Kelley L. Meeusen of Clover Park Technical College will give a presentation on using Softchalk content in Canvas.  This is a hot topic here in Washington as many colleges and universities begin their migration.

Anyone is welcome to attend.

Kelley’s session description:
Learn how to upload SoftChalk lessons into Canvas. The PC-based versions of SoftChalk are a bit trickier to upload into Canvas than they were in Angel, and SCORM packages will not work at all. However, the newly released SoftChalk Cloud provides for easy uploading of both scored and unscored SoftChalk lessons, easy linking to the Canvas Gradebook, and other convenient features. Learn how to upload SoftChalk lessons from both the PC-based and Cloud versions during this week’s session.

eLearning Community will meet today, as most Thursdays at 1 Pacific, via Collaborate.  The topic today will be strategies for managing communication in Canvas.  I will do a short presentation and demo and then we can discuss that and anything else people are interested although I’m guessing the topic will mainly be Canvas focused as that has been the recent trend. Topics will include setting communication channels and preferences, managing the course activity stream, chat, and conferencing.

There is no cost and all are welcome to attend.
