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

Subject: CAS Online Discussion Group

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!
