This month's webinar will focus
on Course Map, again. The Etudes Team has made a lot of progress since
last month. Vivie Sinou will present the latest and greatest version
of Course Map. Course Map is a new tool
under development that enables instructors to guide students through
the learning process. Instructors can order the sequence of items
(syllabus, lessons, assignments, etc.) in one page, guiding students
as to how they should move through the course. Course Map allows
instructors to set 'blockers' (conditional release) for their course
items, meaning that you can specify that students can't proceed to
another item in the course until they have completed something else.

In this webinar, Vivie Sinou will give
a "live" demo of Course Map (an early version, running in our
development servers).

Vivie Sinou will demonstrate the designs and
requirements of Activity Meter -- a new tool for Etudes that captures,
stores, and displays student activity by tool and by student. It
allows instructors to assess how their students are doing, what they
are doing, who is actively involved, and who is not doing anything.
The goal is to provide instructors with "activity" data to spot who is
struggling in class so that they can intervene. The tool includes an
"Early Alert" feature that tracks attendance, making it easy for
instructors to contact no-shows.

Participants will learn how to break up their classes into groups
within Etudes and establish private forums for group work and
collaboration. We will also cover how to group forums by
section, if multiple sections of a class are loaded in one Etudes
site. Approaches about how to establish new groups throughout
the term, without affecting prior forums / groups will also be
presented.

The focus of this session will be on offline authoring of assignments,

from the imported data, and getting them ready for students /
