Folio Boot Camp for Emergency Preparedness
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!

Faculty Writers Boot Camp
Extended writer's boot camps offer faculty a way to get in extensive writing time without sacrificing their entire break. By attending the boot camp all day every day for four straight days, you get a lot of writing done. Participants work in timed 75-minute sessions on their writing and research.
Please note: this is not a writing workshop. You will not receive instruction on how to improve your writing. You will have the opportunity to focus on getting your writing done.
