So, I encourage you to look at the beeps and bouncing icons and other attention getters that your phone and computer provide. Turn them off unless you have a compelling reason to leave them on. Heck, some time management gurus recommend turning your email off and then just logging in to check it periodically. You may find that your mood and your efficiency improve.
eLearning Horrors
Not just for eLearning, these four tips are good teaching.
Still scary out there
Not only are we getting email phishing attempts to get personal information, now scammers are phoning us. Check out this article from the UAA Green and Gold Daily on the topic. I admit, I was fooled for a moment last week when an apparent email from Linked In indicated someone was trying to reach me. It was a scam with an ugly link… luckily, I was on a Mac or it may not have been pretty.
Reminder: Withdrawal Deadline Nov. 14
November 14 is the withdrawal deadline for students in regular full semester classes. If a student stops coming to class, you have these choices until November 14:
- Ask the student to withdraw (you may or may not get a response).
- Use the online form to withdraw him/her from the class.
Whether the student withdraws or you withdraw him/her, the student will receive a "W"as a grade for this class. If a student has stopped coming to class and has not withdrawn, you must give him/her a grade at the end of the semester:
- F for failing the class or
- NB (No Basis) for not having completed enough work to be graded.
Please note that a last date of attendance is required for F and NB grades.
