Name Coach Survey
Before the spring semester starts we wanted to send out a survey about how everyone used NameCoach and whether they were happy with the service. We would appreciate it if you could spare 1-3 minutes to complete the survey. Even if you didn’t use NameCoach that information would be helpful to us as we identify ways to improve the service for faculty, staff, and students.
The survey is completely anonymous and you can fill it out here. It is restricted to BC participants, so when you see your email at the top of the form please rest assured that it is not being captured as seen below.
Canvas Course Prep
Canvas “Before You Publish” Checklist
Use my “before you publish” guide as a reference as you’re preparing your Canvas sites for the coming semester. There’s a quick-start guide that goes over the bare minimum you should do to get your course ready for the semester. There’s also a more-in-depth guide that covers other common things you may need to do to further enhance and prepare your Canvas site each semester.
Guides for common tasks
Setting up a syllabus only site – This video covers how to set up a bare-essentials Canvas site. If all you’d like to do is post your syllabus and make sure your students have access to it, then you can watch this video to learn how.
A quick guide on publishing all of Canvas’s content options – If you’ve ever been confused about whether something you’ve added to Canvas is published and available to your students this guide will help clear up any confusion.You can find more helpful tutorial videos on the BC Law Ed Tech YouTube page. You can also watch previously held workshops covering various Canvas and course-related topics here. I suggest starting with the troubleshooting FAQ video, as it covers the most common questions I receive each semester. There are timestamps in the description to take you immediately to the question you have. If I’ve missed anything let me know and I’ll create another video with your submitted questions.
Other Training and Workshop Opportunities at BC
