Start the Semester Strong!
Ready or not, Summer is nearly over and the Fall semester is upon us.
That means it time to put the finishing touches on your syllabus, get your Canvas course up and running, make sure all your slideshows are finished, and so much more.
Well, in addition to the 10,000 other things on your to-do list, here are a few resources that will help you start the semester strong.

Lecture Capture (video recordings and podcasts) on a Budget! – Custom-made resources to help you easily record audio and/or video of your lectures, guest speakers or anything else.
Redesigning Your Syllabus
If only students would read the syllabus…
Have you ever wondered how to get students to actually pay attention to the information you’ve provided them in your carefully-written syllabus?
Well, even though you’ve spent a LOT of time on your syllabus, consider this: rather than giving students what looks like a 30-page contract, consider instead giving them something they WANT to read.
Give your Canvas Course a “Facelift”
The Spring 2021 semester is fast approaching and what better time to think about what changes you’d like to make to your Canvas course!
There are TONS of things you can do to make your Canvas course less confusing and easier for students to navigate, or simply more inviting and/or less intimidating. And, I’m here to work with you to make your course exactly what you (and your students) want it to be.
So, what can you do?
