Setting Up Your Course

Overview

Setting up your course takes a lot of planning and building within the learning platform. This section will detail some of the elements we would suggest adding to your course. We will also provide guides on the functionality within the learning platform. 

To enhance this discussion, we will leverage  SUNY's OSCQR Rubric, more specifically the "Interaction" section, supplying us with a framework on why meeting these standards is important, as well as how to approach meeting those standards.  

For those unable to attend the live session, we have pre-recorded a "mini-lecture" describing the main topics, themes and strategies. You can find the recording under the "Pre-Recorded Review" heading.
