- Halloooo! And welcome Kate, course coordinators, and Sandie!
- Review of project
- What is a Course Hub?
- departmental resources for students and faculty
- team is building Online Lessons
- Jonas is building other resources
- static (not meant for interaction/discussion)
- brief tour of course hub
- Volunteers to show a sample lesson?
- Course Hub vs Model Course
- every section needs an online home! Blackboard or OpenLab.
- if you’re using OpenLab, Model Course is place you start (clone it for your own section)
- course hub lives on OL but resources are for use by everyone, whether they choose blackboard or openlab
- What is a Course Hub?
- Feedback:
- Thomas: would be *great* to have internal City Tech videos for all of these!
- Kate: there is an existing (possibly unused) faculty resource site for Math – maybe we can adopt this?
- Ezra: let’s try to finalize lessons 1 month before they appear on syllabus?
- Update on faculty training
- Initial “What is an online course” training Wed 8/12 and Wed 8/19.
- Focussed technical trainings on Ths Fri both weeks.
- Model Course trainings tbd within those two Ths/Fri windowsill (tentatively Fri mornings)
- Kate will help out with the Model Course trainings (thanks Kate!)
- Jonas: MathType – good OCR for math equations
- Ezra: class slides w/ content from publisher – put these on private instructor area
- Course Hubs – status updates
- Lesson development:
- MAT 1275 Course Hub– Ariane
- MAT 1372 Course Hub – Marianna
- MAT 1375 Course Hub – Jonas
- MAT 1475 Course Hub – Lin
- contrast learning outcomes? accessibility
- MAT 1575 Course Hub – Kate
- MAT 2680 Course Hub – Satish
- Other resource development – any input from course coordinators on resources to include (especially faculty resources specific to your course)?

- Lesson development:
- Accessibility:
- Document discussing accessibility and opening links in new tabs – includes examples at the bottom of language that can be used in links.
- Questions:
- Marianna: question about cover image (converted to HTML???) – Jonas will look into
- Kate: Numbering lessons – consecutive? Or skip a number for exams?. Consecutive
- Kate: Learning outcomes for individual lessons? (OpenStax has them listed – will pull from there)
- Kate: (1575 reduction fmlas for trig integrals – some faculty use them, some don’t – included paragraph “these exist, talk to your instructor about whether you are using them”)
- Kate: embed desmos graph? JONAS will follow up OpenLab team.
- Ariane: screenshots from Desmos OK? JONAS will look into it (think its ok – does it need attribution?)
- Kate: Colors in LaTeX? (I think this is not supported)
- Ariane: is there another plugin for LaTeX that allows us to use more functionality? JONAS bug OL team about this.
- Block editor: the gosh-dang popup bar covers up what I want to look at!
- Kate: Accordions – Pages with accordions have extra accordions generated when you click edit?? BUG! JONAS will report.
- Kate: Interested in Mastery grading – “standards based grading”. Make a list of standards for the course (specific learning outcomes). Assessments – whether that standard has been mastered or not. Interviews?
