CU Boulder has Gone Google

What does that mean for us?

Now CU-Boulder faculty, staff and students have access to Google collaborative applications (Drive/Docs, Sites, Calendar, and more) by simply using our CU IdentiKey information with @google.com.

Go to the sponsored Google products, say GoogleDrive/Docs and sign in using your CU-Boulder username (or username@colorado.edu depending upon the login prompt) and IdentiKey password. These are the same username and password you use to log in to services such as MyCUInfo. and Exchange.

This Thursday, as a part of the Faculty Teaching Excellence Program, Cory Pavicich from OIT will lead a faculty seminar/presentation on Google Apps for Education from 3:30-4:30 in Atlas 200. Please sign up ahead of time:  http://www.colorado.edu/ftep/events/eventdocs/GoingGoogle.html

Thank you for attending!

Thank you to those who attended the event that I hosted today about the D2L Discussions tool. I hope that everyone benefitted from each others' experiences!

Later this week, I will be posting the link to the Google Presentation that includes some notes that I took during the session. I will open it up for editing, so please feel free to do so.

As always, contact me with questions or if you'd like to meet.

Event: D2L Discussion Board BYOL (Bring Your Own Lunch), January 28th

Are you interested in participating in a brown bag lunch with your fellow Continuing Ed hybrid faculty?

The theme of this first brown bag will be the D2L discussion board tool. My thoughts for the topics of discussion are the following:

We share about:

• Our discussion board set-up (requirements stated in syllabus; our role in the process) 
• Student use of the discussion board 
• Our grading plan Discussion Board topics that went over well with the students 

We take away:

• Ideas for improving/streamlining our use of this tool 
• Ideas for creating a more engaging environment for our student 
• An understanding that everyone has had their ups and downs with this tool! 

I learn something new about D2L from each of you in every meeting, so my hope is that you all can share and learn from each other!

Thank you for filling out our Doodle poll to assess everyone's availability. http://www.doodle.com/au9gpt9rkbd7y5wh

We will be meeting Monday, January 28th from noon-1pm in Hellems 145.
