Scholar Quick Start Series: Course Resources & Syllabus
(Academic)
This workshop assumes you have created a site (Course or Project) and have a basic familiarity with Scholar, a robust learning and collaboration system which offers tools for teaching and learning, research and collaboration, and ePortfolio assessment/accreditation projects. This abbreviated hands-on workshop provides you with "only what you need to know" in Scholar. Time will be spent to learn how Resources (which is akin to "Course Documents") can be used to quickly add folders and files. Information about different access settings and permissions (i.e., hidden, site, public, and "file-exchange") will also be covered. You will also learn two different ways how your Syllabus can be added to Scholar.
NOTE: Please bring your Syllabus and any course files in digital format that you may wish to work with. (USB "thumb" drives are highly recommended, but other computer media may also be supported.)
Workshop Assumptions:
To complete the workshop, it is assumed that workshop participants have:
1. Basic computer and Internet browsing skills and a desire to use the web to support teaching.
2. Created a Course or Project site.
3. A basic familiarity using Scholar (either as an organizer, participant, instructor, or student).
4. A desire to add folders and files to a Scholar site using the Resources tool
5. A desire to set access and permissions of files and folders within the Resources tool.
Workshop Objectives & Outcomes:
This workshop will cover the following topics and upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Add files and folders to the Resources tool through the web interface.
2. Set access and permissions to files and folders within the Resources tools.
3. Decide which method for adding a Syllabus works best for them, choosing either to:
* Add a copy of a Syllabus to the Syllabus tool.
* "Redirect" to a Syllabus located somewhere else (either a website or to a syllabus saved within the Resources tool). (A Best Practice Feature!)
4. Locate the information for how to use WebDAV to transfer files and folders between a computer and the Scholar site's Resources tool.
