Setting up for a successful semester

Presented by ITaLI Learning Designer Karen Sheppard.

Ensure your semester is successful by setting up a few key items for effective course management.

This workshop is aimed at those new to teaching at UQ and is held before ECPs are due. It will cover tips and tricks for how to best use your Electronic Course Profile (ECP) and Learn.UQ site to minimise hassle as well as examples of implementing a communication strategy and managing student expectations.

This will be useful for coordinators, lecturers, tutors or anyone who is involved in course management.

This course will enable participants to:

• Effectively use the Electronic Course Profile (ECP)
• Develop strategies to minimise hassle in a Blackboard course site
• Implement a communication strategy
• Manage student expectations.

As part of Professional Learning at UQ, ITaLI have developed additional resources to support our workshops. These resources are self-paced and have been designed to encourage participant learning, and provide opportunities for further development in the workshop topic.
