thanks, Karen - since I also cannot be at that meeting, I wanted to
share some information here. when I discovered that the technical guides
at the OLR website had been removed, I had to republish them quickly on
my own, since they are essential for my courses. so, if anyone is
looking for the web publishing or the blogging guides that used to be at
the OLR but which were removed from that site, you can find those
materials here:
 
web publishing with Mozilla Composer:
http://www.bestmoodle.net/ks/moz/starting.htm
 
blogging with Blogger.com:
http://www.bestmoodle.net/ks/blogger/starting.htm
 
I also republished the other missing technical how-to guides that I
needed for my courses (Toolbars in Internet Explorer, taking a
screenshot, basics of HTML, etc.). plus there are some new materials I
added this semester, such as tips for using the HTML Editor in
Desire2Learn:
 
http://www.bestmoodle.net/ks/d2l/post.htm
 
I used these D2L tips to write a "Random Desire2Learn Tips" script,
which can be used in a D2L widget:
 
http://www.bestmoodle.net/ks/js/index_d2l.htm
 
although these pages were written for use with my courses, I'm glad if
they can be of use to anyone else teaching online. the website is very
rough since I had to publish it in a big hurry (I did not realize the
content was gone from the OLR until just before classes started), but
the links will remain stable, since I do rely on these materials every
semester in conjunction with all of my courses.
 
I hope everybody is having a good first week!
 
Laura

        Hello everyone,

         

        This is a reminder that the CAS Online Discussion Group will
meet Tuesday, January 24, 3:00-4:30pm, Ellison Hall, 220. I'll be out of
the office at a conference, so Ian Lubin will be leading the discussion.
Ian will demonstrate the new look of our website, and solicit input on
what we can do to improve it for our faculty and students.

         

        I hope your Spring semester is going well so far. It's been a
busy week here. Just as an FYI, we have 90 sections of 61 courses online
this semester with 1800+ students. That's a good thing!

         

        Thanks!
