New post on Koehler Center for Teaching Excellence


 

Back to school – spring 2013

Welcome back to school for spring 2013, TCU Faculty!
It's a busy time of year for everyone, but we wanted to share some useful information with you:

Syllabus Template

Need to update your syllabus with the latest TCU policies, or want to include information about TurnItIn, Pearson LearningStudio Help or campus resources?  Check out our Syllabus Template (Word doc) to compare with your existing syllabus.

Syllabus redesign

Looking for more in-depth help with your syllabus and want a consultation?  Please look at our Syllabus & Course Design page for information about setting up a meeting with our Faculty Development team.

Pearson LearningStudio

Training: The first place for faculty to start is our online documentation & videos.   We have Faculty Open Labs where you can drop in for assistance with your course shell; additionally, our staff is leading themed workshops on specific LearningStudio tools.  See the workshop schedule for more information.
Verify Enrollments: If you are using Pearson LearningStudio this semester, be sure that you verify your enrollments.  If there are any discrepancies, please notify the eLearning staff so that they can resolve them for you.   Review the how to information for verifying your enrollments.
Videos for students:  If you are worried about students not knowing how to use new tools you are implementing, you might want to consider linking to our how to videos for students, or sending the links out to them via email.   Each of the tools has either a PDF or how to video (or both) for many topics.   Be sure to check out the student how to videos on our website.
