Getting Started with UW-ACE
Tuesday, January 10th 1:30 - 3:30 pm
Wednesday, January 18th 9:30 - 11:30 am
This is a hands-on session where we will explore some of the more
commonly used UW-ACE functionality, including: creating/uploading a
course syllabus; creating and marking a drop box; creating and using a
discussion forum, using milestones to update calendar items, and
tailoring your course and work environment.
Introduction to UW-ACE Instructional Resources
Wednesday, January 11th 9:30 - 11:30 am
Wednesday, January 18th 1:30 - 3:30 pm
The hands-on session is designed to provide an introduction to "UW-ACE
Instructional Resources", a repository of online teaching and learning
resources available to all instructors using UW-ACE in their courses.
It will include an overview of the types of resources in the
repository, as well as a practical "how to" session, demonstrating how
instructors can import items from the repository into their courses.
Using the Action Editor: Level I
Thursday, January 12th 1:30 - 3:30 pm
Tuesday, January 24th 1:30 - 3:30 pm
The ANGEL Action Editor is an advanced tool that allows you to define
actions to be taken when certain events and conditions occur. For
example, an action could be defined to allow a student to gain access
to previously locked material (action) after the submission of a quiz
(event), only if their quiz grade is above 80% (condition). This
session will explore a number of common examples which will be worked
through via hands-on activities.
Creating Quizzes in UW-ACE
Wednesday, January 25th 9:30 - 11:30 pm
A detailed look at quiz creation, multiple choice, true-false, short
answer, essay etc. This session will also cover uploading of question
banks and existing quizzes, as well as how to provide feedback to
students taking the quiz/exam. Adding quiz results to the Course
Gradebook will also be examined.
