Good stuff
- really easy to work in external information
- very easy to rearrange material within the course plan to help plan/design a course
- the ability to switch to "student" mode and see what they see is fantastic
- activity reports are very intuitive
Confusing stuff or stuff that I'm still trying to figure out....
- gradebook is very complicated. Also, can't seem to have anything be worth more than 100 points
- use of user roles is confusing, may be why I've had some access issues
- for some reason my announcements get put either into a "news" or a "forum" which seems to have some different implications for how they get displayed
- spent a lot of time this week ensuring that the students are getting my posts and that they can access the files I upload. There is definately a learning curve to deal with and it's worth nailing that down quickly in the semester before more critical info gets online.
Things I'll be playing with in coming weeks
- online submission and grading of assignments
- getting a quick survey up and running
- ironing out the gradebook so it makes sense
more to come.....
