Folio Boot Camp for Emergency Preparedness
The Center for Teaching Excellence now offers workshops to help your faculty prepare for the hurricane season!
Natural disasters can shut down campus, but they don't have to shut down learning. In this three-hour boot camp, you'll learn everything you need to know to ensure that your course can proceed in Folio even if students can't come to campus. Topics covered include:
- Adding content and materials to Folio
- Creating an assignment dropbox
- Creating quizzes
- Creating graded discussions
- Setting up gradebook
- Identifying video creation resources
Please note that the Provost's Office strongly recommends that all faculty be prepared to shift courses into Folio in the event of a temporary campus closure. Don't let an emergency catch you off guard!
