During the 2020 Fall Semester, three workshops will be offered about providing feedback to students (full series recordings below). This series of workshops aims to provide educators with an interdisciplinary space and community to consider ways of providing effective and meaningful feedback to students. The professional development provided in these workshops will offer peer-to-peer interaction with information and discussion that considers feedback strategies and tools across disciplines. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about strategies and tools for providing feedback to students, exchange ideas about feedback, and practice and implement ideas about feedback for course design, pedagogy, and practice.
 
By participating in all three workshops, participants will be able to:

Identify characteristics of meaningful feedback and its importance for student learning
Reflect on ways we already use feedback in our classrooms
Consider opportunities and challenges for feedback in our classrooms
Generate ideas with colleagues on how to implement feedback in the classroom (both small and large classrooms) 
Develop and revise ideas for implementing feedback in the classroom, based on workshop discussions and peer feedback
Create short- and long-term goals for implementing ideas into the classroom
Connect with educators across campus to build community and conversation

Note: This checklist can also be found in the Instructor - D2L Self-directed Training site in D2L.To access it, go to D2L > Help > Training and scroll down to find the self-enrollment link for the Instructor D2L Training
 
This checklist assumes that you already have a course developed that you are copying to a new semester. If you are starting new, skip step one, or ask your department if there are existing courses you can copy. MSU creates a blank course shell for every course offering, with students already populated. Enrollment adds and withdrawals are automatic. Go to Communications > Classlist in your course to see enrollments.

Copy content from a development course or previous semester course to your new semester. Some courses may already have content. Check first before copying.

Start in the new blank semester course, or course you want to change.
Click Course Admin > Import/ Export/ Copy Components.
Select “Copy Components from another Org Unit” and Search for offering
Search for the course to copy “from” and click “Add Selected”
Select “Copy All Components” - Be careful to only do this once.* If there is already content in the site, items will be “added” and may result in duplication of content, activities, grade items, etc. that can be difficult to clean up.

Go to Course Admin > Course Offering Information. Make the course active as soon as possible and check the start and end dates. Students will not see a course in their My Courses list until you make it active. Even though you make it active, they will not be able to access the course until the start date. Students will see when the course is scheduled to start in their My Courses list. Also, consider making the end date past when grades are due so students can check their grade details.
Add/Edit a Welcome Announcement to provide information on how to get started.
Add/Update Syllabus and Instructor Information.

Create a module such as Getting Started to place your introductory materials.
Add documents by dragging and dropping files from your computer.
Use the pull-down menu and select Change File to update existing items.

Add other personalization items such as a welcome video and narrated lectures by using any of the following options listed under Upload/ Create, including Video, Create a link, or Create a file.  In Create a file, use Insert Stuff > My Media or Insert Stuff > Enter embed code, to insert a video from Kaltura MediaSpace (see the resources at the end of this document).
Add/edit D2L due dates on activities. They will also show up automatically in the D2L Calendar and students can subscribe to receive notifications. Enter/Check start dates, end dates, and due dates by clicking on each module in the Table of Contents. Click on dates to edit and a calendar will popup for selecting new dates and times.

Go to Course Admin > Manage Dates to check all dates on one page.
Use bulk offset dates for moving multiple dates at once from one semester to the next. 
Click on the column titles, such as Start Date, to sort and bring items with dates to the top.


Keep in mind that activities such as Discussions, Assignments, and Quizzes can be accessed from a separate navbar menu outside of Content, so you will need a start date on the activities as well as the modules if you don’t want students to access them until a specific time. See Managing D2L Start/End/Due Dates for more detail.

Check that links are working and all media have captions (look for CC or closed captions).
Check whether items are visible. Use Bulk Edit, closed eye or slash on icon is hidden.
Review Checklists, if used. It’s best to edit these from the Course Tools > Checklists page.
Check for specific dates within content, if used. To make content lessons and activities reusable without a lot of editing, use general terms, such as “your first post is due by Wednesday and replies are due by Sunday” and rely on D2L dates for specifics because they can be bulk offset. Avoid using specific dates in recordings if you plan to reuse them. List specific dates in items that are changed every semester, such as the syllabus and announcements.
Check Assignment, Discussion Topic, and Quiz settings - see Bulk Edit for some of the quiz settings, such as attempts allowed.
Check that Turnitin settings for assignments are correctly set as needed.
Check Communication > Groups, if used, and check whether you have auto enrollments or if you need to enroll users manually. For more information, see D2L FAQs on Using Groups.
Subscribe to your Course Questions Discussion topic or other discussions by going to  Communication > Discussions > (topic title) and Subscribe (from pulldown menu). Check your notification settings to get an instant notification by email (pulldown by name at the top).
Check your gradebook “settings” (see the link at the top of Manage Grades). Check the box if you would like to display points in the managing (instructor) view. Do you want the Final Calculated Grade (subtotal) visible to students? See how to setup a gradebook and how to release grades in the Gradebook tips document. Also, see the D2L Help link from any course navbar.
Impersonate the Demo student to view how a student sees the course and submits activities. The “preview as a student” option, accessed by clicking on your name at the top, is useful for quick checks of how students see content but you will need to impersonate the Demo student to practice submitting assignments and seeing feedback. Go to Communication > Classlist > “Student, Demo” and use the pull-down menu to Impersonate. Select your name at the top to stop impersonating. Two to three days into the semester, go to the Classlist and click on the “Last Accessed” column to sort. Consider sending a reminder email with tips on how to find the course to any students who have not started (check the boxes by their names and then click the email icon).

Note: Using Select Component Copy and bulk offset dates
*To bring select content in bulk from another D2L site, and to use the bulk offset dates with your course copy, use the Select Component Copy option instead of “Copy All.” If you make a mistake copying into the wrong semester course, or have duplicated items accidentally and need to empty or reset a course, see the MSU help documentation on how to Reset a course and delete everything.

In How to Build an Online Learning Community (In 2020) https://www.learnworlds.com/build-online-learning-community/ via @learnworlds 
 
Way #1: Establishing the Instructor’s Presence

Convey a sense of enthusiasm about getting started the course. 
Personalize and provide some touchstones about yourself and encourage learners to do the same.
Indicate your availability for questions and communications.

Don’t forget that your initial postings in the discussion forum, your first messages sent to all by email, or the greeting you post on your course home page will do much to set the tone and expectations for your course.


Putting this into practice
There are several ways that this can be accomplished in your course. Here are some examples:

Posting an Introduction post in the course via text or video. It's important to show your class that you are a real person. You can do this by including images of yourself and by sharing aspects of your background and particular interest in the subject that you are teaching. Your introduction post is also a great place to share your expectations about the course, important dates, setting expectations for feedback.
Video is a good tool creating an instructor pressence online. Creating an Introduction video segments, using video to introduce the course content for each week, and using weekly videos to questions arise or address patterns.

Tools
Kaltura Capture is a quick easy way to record and upload video into Kaltura MediaSpace. From there the videos can easily be embeded into your D2L course.

 
Creating Content in D2L
You can embed video and images into your Introductory posts on D2L. The following video will demonstrate how to embed additional media from the Insert Stuff icon.

 
As a result of the Kaltura MediaSpace intergration in D2L, you can access all of the videos that you have uploaded into Kaltura Media from the Insert Stuff icon. Just look for the My Media Link. Check out the screen shot below:
