Just a bunch of (hopefully) helpful information this week:
- IT Services will be creating the summer and fall course shells this week. If all goes according to plan, you will start seeing the courses for which you are an instructor in Banner by the end of the week.
- The purge of old Blackboard course shells will be on April 15. All regular course shells for 2009 will be removed. Dev shells are never removed, just Blackboard shells for regular classes.
- The UAA faculty gateway page is a great resource for faculty. I use it as my homepage in my web browser. Check it out - it's got lots of resources from around UAA that faculty use regularly and not so regularly!
- If you aren't on the UAA faculty list serve, you can join. You don't need to be faculty to join the list. CAFE sends its announcements for professional development offerings, the Faculty Technology Center posts its workshops and open labs, and the bookstore announces its events.
- IDEA surveys: you can still customize the survey for your class. By default, surveys will be open to students April 24, 2013 through May 8, 2013. To change the dates or get info on IDEA, please contact IT Services at 786-4646 opt. 6 or ayidea@uaa.alaska.edu.
Happy spring! I will be on vacation next week, so the next newsletter will be the week of April 15.
