4. Differences between World Campus (WC) and Resident Instruction(RI) sections For WC: Master courses (MC) -- created and maintained “course-in-a-box” Faculty and course committee -- approve changes/updates Learning Design unit implements updates in MC then copies out to each section, each semester. Efforts to make courses more consistent across programs (e.g. naming conventions, navigation, order of items on the syllabus, etc.) – intended to help meet accessibility needs and student-centered learning For RI: MC is optional and will be available to easily use all or any part of the “course-in- a-box” shared via Canvas Commons

30. Q: Why did we decide to put all of our content in Canvas? And copy over the html page-by-page from Drupal to Canvas? A: To avoid the frame-in-a-frame display of the content in a browser and to avoid any display issues in mobile. To avoid having: two systems and two log-ins. We saw Drupal as a “work- around” because ANGEL did not meet our needs.

37. Process: Copied Shell into Master Courses (MC). Set up MC. Copied MC to PSU course via Export/Import.

40. Tip: Speedgrader It will save you time - No need to download student submissions. You can provide feedback and mark-up in-line like Google Docs. For Team Assignments, all team members can see what was uploaded by their teammates. You can grade Team Assignments once – all the team members can see the grade and feedback. You can Mute assignments until you are finished grading them. Students can not see the grades and feedback until you Un-mute them.
