Hi Tom!!

Do you find out if your class will be reviewed?

Instructors will not know if their classes will be chosen.

can you give more examples of how a canvas course would be one vs the other?

Is it okay to "publish" modules ahead of time, as long as the assignments for that module aren't open yet?

Hi Kammy, we will answer questions at the end.

Analogous to the way students can read ahead in the textbook should they choose

@Rachel, I believe it's fine to even publish assignments early as long as you engage in other RSI throughout the course.

@Kamelia, my session immediately after this includes Canvas tips to meet these guidelines.

@Rachel, the bottom line is that you don't just dump everything in Canvas on day one and not provide consistent interaction throughout the remainder of the course.

Are canvas emails considered within the learning management system?

Did Laura say recorded Powerpoint lectures are considered “Providing Direct Instructor?”

@Julie, yes, however we should confirm that the accreditors can view those when they review our courses.

It's on

@Christy - I'm running a session at that time. But i'll ask around

Perfect! Ruth just answered that. Be sure to share information in announcements or modules that was sent to students (anonymously, of course)

Thank you, Christy!

@Kammy, I'm sure it will be recorded, but I'm also happy to share my presentation which has links to the Canvas training for each tip I share!

michelle: do you actually create a canvas discussion where each student is its own group?

When giving feedback, sometimes I do video responses thru speed grader. Will that be considered or does feedback have to be typed?

Video feedback is definitely encouraged!

Did Laura say recorded Powerpoint lectures are considered “Providing Direct Instruction?”

@Susan, yes, prerecorded lectures are considered direct instruction.

Thank you Christy 🙂

Thank you!

Are accreditors visiting any on-ground courses anymore or will they do all the visits virtually?

If an assignment has a detailed rubric, how much detail are accreditors expecting in terms of comments/feedback?

@Rachel, great question! I'd love to get a sense for that because I rely heavily on detailed rubrics to provide feedback.

Is using Canvas “Inbox” to answer students’ questions considered interaction?

In my weekly announcements I ask a question at the end as engagement. It’s also a great way to make sure they are reading the announcements as well.

@Ara, yes, but the accreditors won't be able to see this so be sure to follow the information shared in messages and also share it in an announcement or module content.

Thanks! Off to a student meeting🙂

Thank you, Christy!

Can someone please answer Rachels question: If an assignment has a detailed rubric, how much detail are accreditors expecting in terms of comments/feedback?

Note - Image rich powerpoints are incredibly time consuming to make accessible.

for posting - not recorded lectures

@Sharon can you bubble this up in person? If an assignment has a detailed rubric, how much detail are accreditors expecting in terms of comments/feedback?

We are not given standards on how much feedback is expected. They are looking for regular feedback…..that term is very unclear. As a practice, I try to give feedback when there is room for correction or needed improvement.

But if the rubric is detailed, are they ALSO expecting additional comments?

Accreditors do NOT see our Canvas inbox.. We need to be engaging in the Canvas course.
