Camtasia Video - Mod 6 Assignment 3

How do I import online course materials into my new internet course from a previous semester?
This question is asked many times, so in order not to be repetitve, I created a short "how to" camtasia recording of the process.
Using Camtasia to show how to do a process on your computer saves a ton of phone calls and time.

Mod. 7 Assignment 2 Creating a Survey

I used Survey Monkey to create a survey for this section in my online course. The free online survey tool was easy to use and I will definitly use it again.

Included in this survey were four specific questions relating to our online faculty support site.
1. how useful is this site in finding information?
2. any suggestions for improving the site?
3. have to visited this site before?
4. how would you rate the knowledgebase in this site?

The results were fasinating!!
15 people responded and the most interesting data was where they were allowed to leave comments or suggestions (2. & 4.). Most were helpful suggestions or comments but some were posting problems not related to the survey.

My first tip in creating a survey is to do a test run to determine if the question types are appropriate for the desired data to be collected.

Wow, this was a lesson learned. There are changes I would have made if there were more time. I had a definite challenge with attempting to meld three different sounds in the video, hope you will enjoy the video even though the audio needs work.

Back on Track...again.

Sorry for the lag in posts, it has been a while.
I have been attending great conferences during the past month, all out of town.

The ANGEL Users Conference 2007 was held in Indianapolis, Illinois and we had wonderful opportunities to learn new techniques and meet other ANGEL users from accross the country with a few international folks also.

CIT 2007 was another terrific conference held at Plattsburgh University N.Y. in the Andirondack community referred to as the Adirondack Coast. The city of Plattsburgh borders Lake Champlain.

Now, back to the course work...
