Speaker 1: Quality Assurance Guide. The syllabus, instructor biography, student resources, and faculty resources. So let's jump over to the blank LMS training shell that I have. Currently I am in author mode under course home and we want to select syllabus. We're going to upload the syllabus into the LMS. This is under the assumption that you have already completed your syllabus in the BMC resources and save the PDF to your documents. Now we're ready to upload. We're going to leave it in the default composed text item because we are not using a Word document. We're using a PDF and we'll select add. On the title you want to title it course syllabus. Next we're going to select the world here. It's the green earth with the chain so that we can link our saved syllabus to the LMS. We're going to leave it in the default link to content or files because we are actually going to link it to a file that we have saved and we'll continue. The text that you want displayed on the LMS is click here to access course syllabus and then we will browse to find our syllabus. I am just going to select a syllabus that I have here and click open and now we will add the link. We will see click here to access course syllabus as our link that's displayed and we will add the item. Next we want to add our instructor biography information so we're going to select instructor information under the syllabus tab just above our course syllabus that we added. Once you select instructor information you will pick your name from the drop-down menu and then click OK. Your information will be blank other than your name and your email address and you will need to fill out everything in the other selection so you want to your office location would be the faculty office. Your office hours if they're different from by appointment make sure it's very clear if it's Monday Wednesday Friday from 2 30 p.m. to 3 30 p.m. for example again make sure it's very clear the days of the week and the times if it's more than by appointment. Your phone number you want to make sure that you have the best contact information for your students so you have your Brown-Mackie email which should also be linked to your cell phone. If you don't have that please let myself or Michelle know and we can get that set up for you. And then you want to also note any kind of special considerations if you only want text, voicemails, things of that nature you would want to list it here. A fax number if that's relevant and then we are also required to attach a photo. In order to do so you will need to have a photo saved just like you had your syllabus saved and you can upload it from your documents. If you do not have a photo saved in your documents and need for us to take a photo of you please let again myself or Michelle know and we can get that taken care of and help you get it uploaded. So again this is under the assumption that you already have a photo saved and we're going to now add it. So select add photo and then for the description you just put photo that is not going to show listed anywhere so that is not particular what you place there. Now we're going to browse for the photo that we're looking for. So I am going to go into my pictures and select my go-to photo. Once it's there we're going to click insert image. You won't see your photo at this time you will see it once we save it and go back into student view under course mode. So now what you want to do is select yes under display on syllabus. Then below you want to type or insert your biography. Here you want to list your educational experience, your credentials, your industry accomplishments, anything that your students would like to know regarding you as a faculty member. Please stay away from personal items. Don't list your Facebook, Twitter, where you live, anything there. Again make sure that the information is strictly professional. Once you've added everything in then save your changes. Now if we go over to the course view for the students and select course on the navigation pane you will now see what the students see in regards to the information that you just loaded. So now we have our information just like we typed it in. We have our photo so that the students will know who we are and then we have our biography listed here and our click here to access the course syllabus. So all these things can be reviewed on the first day of class. Now in order for us to be compliant we still have to have a link here under the course home navigation pane that says instructor bio. We're not going to have to copy and paste or move any of this we're just going to make an item and link it to this information so that again our LMS is compliant. So let's go back under the course view and we're going to select course home. We're going to add an item under course home. You do so by selecting course item and then we're going to add an item and then add a placeholder for content. The title here is going to be instructor bio. On the drop-down of the item type we want this to be text multimedia not with content manager just plain text multimedia and then we're going to add this item. Now we're going to add the content into the item so let's select the item instructor bio that we just added and we're again going to go into our world link here. This time we're going to link it to a course content. We're not going to link it to a file because we're going to link it within our LMS. So select link to course content and continue. Display that you want to show is click here to access instructor bio and we are going to then get the content from the syllabus where we just saved it previously and we're going to add our link. Save our changes and now our link here will take us directly to or the students directly to the bio that you set up in the syllabus. So again if we go back to the student view under the course navigation and this is the link that the students see click here and it will take you directly to the bio and they also again have access to the course syllabus. So that covers the first two points on our LMS quality assurance guide. Now we'll go to the next two points which is the student resources and faculty resources links. So let's go back to instructor author mode rather and we're going to add those two items in the course home. So first we select course home and we're going to add course items. So we're going to add an item and a placeholder. One is going to be called student resources and it is text multimedia. So we're going to add one more and it's going to be called faculty resources and that's also going to be text multimedia and we will add this item and we don't need any additional right now. So we now have those two items that we added over on the side to the navigation pane. Now what we need to do is obtain the links that Brown-Mackie have made for these items. The links can be found in BMC resources. So once you go into the BMC resources tab and you select faculty technology resources, I have our login and password saved here. I'm sure that everyone has this so that shouldn't be a problem. If not, please see Michelle or see me. Now we're in. What you want to select here is from the instead of we're used to going to the syllabi database but here you want to select LMS. Once you select LMS now you're going to go into the LMS master resource shell training link directly and it is located here. We'll open up a new tab. There is a video that shows how to copy course content that you can watch if you'd like. Some of it will be repetitious material if you're used to copying course content. If not, it will be very useful for you so take a look at the video. If you're not more of a video person and you want word-for-word PDF instructions, here is the download for the PDF and you can get that information as well. What we're going to do is just go ahead and jump down to the links that we need. The links are listed here for student resources. Let's go ahead and copy the entire link and go back to our classroom. In order for this link to show to play as an embedded link, we have to switch from design mode to HTML mode. So let's select to HTML mode and then we will paste our link and save changes. We're going to do the same thing with the faculty resources. So let's select faculty resources. Go back to our master resource shell training and this time we're going to copy the faculty resource link. Return to the classroom and now we will select HTML mode and we will paste and save. Now if we go to the course or the student view, we will see everything the way our students see it. So you will have your syllabus with your bio information and your link directly to the course syllabus PDF. You will have your instructor bio with a link that goes directly to that bio in the syllabus. We will have the instructor resource student resources that are listed here that are available for students to view and then we have faculty resources that are available. The last thing we need to do is to make sure that the faculty resources is hidden. Again this is something that is strictly for faculty and not for students. So let's go back into author view or author mode. While we are in the faculty resources tab, we will then select toolbox and we will hide from the students and save. Once that item is hidden, now you will see an asterisk next to it to show that it is hidden from the students. I hope you found this information on the first four bullets of our LMS quality assurance guide very helpful. The next session will be regarding content format and course scheduler.
