Results for
  • Results will be returned that contain all of the terms entered. For example searching for bus schedule would return anything that contains both bus and schedule in any order but not only bus or schedule by themselves.
  • Searching while you are within a course or group will return results found within that course or group. If there are no results within the course or group you will be shown results for your term from everywhere.
  • You can use + or - to include or exclude search results. For example, the search +schedule -bus will return results that contain the word schedule but not the word bus.
  • Put a word or phrase in quotes to find exact matches. Searching for "bus schedule" will search for the exact phrase bus schedule with no other words between those two.
  • You can add * at the end of a term to find results that start with that term. Searching for book* will return results for book, books, bookmark, and bookmarks. (You can also add * in the middle of a term)
  • Common words such as and, the and of are excluded from the search. To force them to be included, put a + in front of them.
  • The characters && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ ~ * ? : \ have special functions and aren’t searched for. If you need to find results that include one of those, you can put a \ in front of it and it will be searched for like a regular character. For example Abbott \& Costello or Who’s on first\?

    The Online Teaching Toolkit serves as an excellent resource for online activities for those moving from face-to-face to online as well as for those who are very familiar with teaching online. This is an online activity guide that should be very useful with the Course Development Process Guide. This tool is a valuable resource made available by the Association for Colleges and Universities. Please contact klee@swu.edu, swillians@swu.edu, or klee@swu.edu if additional one-on-one assistance is needed. Due to the current pandemic, assistance outside of office hours is available by texting K. Lee at 912-656-1120.

    Organizing Course Content from a Student's Point of View
    File Size: 205K
    Online students can become confused, frustrated, or disengaged if they find it challenging to simply navigate your course. When students use a lot of their cognitive resources just figuring out how to access course materials, they have few left for the content itself. Try to make your course organization as clear and intuitive as possible, ensuring students have more time and cognitive resources to engage with course content and activities (Darby, 2019). To do this, you might want to activate the “student preview” function of our Canvas LMS and navigate your course as if you are a student, in order to identify unclear navigation paths and to check links. You may also consider asking a colleague or teaching assistant to conduct this check to uncover any areas of confusion. Pay close attention to how many clicks it takes to get to a file or resource and if the path is clear. Remember that online students are often on their own when they get stuck. Provide quick pointers whenever you can, and make sure support services numbers (such as Tech Help Desk) are easy to find. (See ACUE Handout as a Resource for Organizing your Course Content from a Student's Point of View).
    Module Roadmap
    File Size: 98K
    Learning modules, like units of study, are sequenced collections of course materials and serve as the building blocks of your online course. Modules can be organized by time (“Here’s what we’re doing this week.”) or by content (e.g., topic, chapter in a text, unit of study, etc.). Consistency in module design helps students more quickly understand and meet your expectations. This handout is a Module Roadmap developed by ACUE and serves as an excellent resource.
    Establishing a Rhythm for Participation
    File Size: 121K
    A predictable rhythm or pace for online modules (units of study) helps students better manage their time. The "rhythm" can also reduce stress because the structure answers questions such as “What’s next?” (Boettcher & Conrad, 2016). It is particularly important to establish a rhythm for posting in, reading, and replying to the online discussion forums, which are the online version of classroom discussions. This handout provided by ACUE offers an example of a weekly schedule for both students and instructors. Faculty may find this to be very helpful.
    Self Reflection Tool
    File Size: 137K
    The discussion forums in a course are key learning opportunities for faculty and students. To make the most of this opportunity, it is important that each student contributes actively and thoughtfully. This handout will help students reflect on their participation and contributions to your discussions. I also can serve as a self-grading guide for discussion forums. This resource is developed and made available by ACUE.
    Feedback Guide
    File Size: 151K
    Striking a balance between too much and too little feedback in discussion forums can be challenging. Here are some typical questions instructors have about providing feedback in discussion forums: § How early in the week should I make comments about student postings? § How expansive should comments be early in the week? Later in the week? § Should I respond to individual students’ posts or to the group as a whole? § How do I coach and mentor students, but not jump in too quickly? In making these decisions, consider the purpose and timing of your feedback (Boettcher & Conrad, 2016). Although there are no definitively right or wrong answers to these questions, this handout made available by ACUE provides some basic guidelines.
    Engaging Assignments with Accountability
    File Size: 91K
    There are a variety of ways to keep students engaged in course content and help them focus their attention on what is most important. We can also use a variety of practices to assess how well students are learning and making key connections. As online assignments may be new to your students, providing clear directions, examples and rubrics can help them feel more confident in meeting your expectations. You are encouraged to try a few of these strategies provided by ACUE to identify the processes that work best for you and your students.
