LOL Follow-up [Recorded 4/27/2021]

4/30/2021

This past year has definitely been one that none of us will forget, with both us AND our students making adjustments and acclimating to the remote environment. This past Tuesday, several of our very best faculty members joined us in the LOL session to share the practices that they have found to be the most effective in their 2020-2021 classes. And you know the best part? It turns out that once again good teaching is just good teaching, no matter what modality you are operating in, so most of these tips, tricks, and tools will be useful to all of us for many semesters to come!

All good things must come to an end; today's post is the last official Tech Tuesday of the 2020-2021 academic year. Also, at 2:30 this afternoon, Jen P. and I will be hosting our final Live Online...Live! session for this year. It's going to be a great session, with a bunch of your CGCC colleagues sharing Some Good News from this crazy year.

Fear not - we'll be back and ready to go in August!
​April is almost over, and nobody wants one more thing to think about right now - which is exactly why we are rounding out this year's Tech Tuesday offerings with a SUPER-EASY, SUPER-FUN (and free! no account necessary!) tech tool.

Communicating With Students Before Publishing Your Canvas Course

Blog post title and image of formal letter from the days of ink wellss
Want to help your students be prepared for the first day of class but don't want to publish your Canvas course? Use the Course distribution list for your course section in Gmail! All courses get them once they are active in SIS. When you send an email this way any student that is registered for your course at the time will receive your message*! Remember to Blind Carbon Copy your students so that if they reply all the other students will not receive the email. This is the same as checking the box to send an individual message to students in Canvas. 
*This function remains available for 90 days after the semester ends, but you need to add ".completed" to the address. Example: 
Current Student Gmail Group: 
CGC.2021.Spring.BPC.110.21561@cgc.edu

Completed Student Gmail Group (students have been graded in SIS): 
CGC.2021.Spring.BPC.110.21561.completed@cgc.edu

When did online discussion boards get such a bad reputation that they became the target of internet memes?!
Picture
Discussion Boards have become an integral component of most online courses. The real question is - how effective are they in terms of supporting student learning? Could they be better?
