Section 3 Technology elements
Our class is run in a blended format, with both online and in-person elements. This section provides details on the different pieces of technology we use.
Subsection 3.1 OneNote
IT provides us with a OneNote class notebook. This is a OneNote notebook that includes sections where I can share content with you (read only), as well as a personal section for each student (accessible only by you and me), and a collaboration space that can be used for group work.
You will need to use your U of L account to sign into Office 365. Once you do, you can access our class notebook from a web browser, the desktop program, or the mobile app.
For assignments, I will set each group up with a section in the collaboration space that only members of the group can access.
Subsection 3.2 Crowdmark
Crowdmark is an online grading system that can be used for both in-class quizzes and take-home assignments. I will use Crowdmark so that I can return your feedback as soon as it's ready, rather than waiting until class. Use of Crowdmark will also help accommodate anyone who needs to submit work remotely. For ease of reference, I've placed advice for using Crowdmark 1 on a separate page. For in-class quizzes, I will scan and upload your work for you. For take-home assignments, you will submit the work yourself.
Basic advice for submitting to Crowdmark:
- Start each question on a clean sheet of paper.
- Use a scanner, or a scanning app on your smartphone. PDF is best, but JPG and PNG files are also supported.
- When you submit, make sure your pages are in order, and rotated correctly.
Subsection 3.3 Zoom and other video
Since classes are now “back to normal”, Zoom is no longer an official tool for the course. However, I will try to support anyone who needs to attend remotely by providing a Zoom link. I will also use Zoom to record at times when I'm delivering content.
