The Grade Center is essentially a spreadsheet that can be customized to calculate your students’ weighted grades as they proceed through the course. It is connected to tools you’ve set up in your course for graded assignments and it has a private student-view called “My Grades.” This workshop will show you the 3 keys to setting up the Grade Center to make it run smoothly, how to troubleshoot problems, and how you can test it to verify its accuracy.

Microsoft Teams can be an engaging and community building component of your remote teaching plan. In this remote workshop, we will explore Team’s features while you experience its video conference functionality.

Breakout rooms, created on-the-fly, are finally here for Teams meetings. In this informal Teams practice session, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about how to create breakout rooms and how the settings options will affect your students’ experiences. Each participant in the workshop will have the opportunity to “host” a meeting with breakout rooms, including practice creating manually or automatically enrolled groups, moving people from one group to another, renaming groups, sending messages to all groups, and moving between breakout rooms.

In the first part of this workshop, we'll show how to: Set up a test; Create questions (and look at the types of questions available); deploy it so students can take it; view results and grade it. After covering the basics, we'll cover two more advanced processes. How to: import test questions from a Word file or from other tests and build randomized question sets so Blackboard presents different versions of exams to students.

Perusall, which integrates with Blackboard (meaning no separate login needed), is a free collaborative annotation tool. Perusall has been shown to increase pre-class reading significantly (greater than 90% of students consistently complete readings in classes using this tool). Students (in small groups up to 20), collectively mark up readings with threaded questions and comments.

This workshop will show the ways to use group documents in Team channels for collaborative editing, how to run polls from Teams, how to create a Teams page, as well as the use of OneNote for instructor notes and student note-taking.
