1
00:00:01.503 --> 00:00:04.050
<v Wendy>Okay, I am gonna get started.</v>

2
00:00:04.050 --> 00:00:06.360
Because I know we have a lot of information to cover,

3
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:09.090
and we only have an hour to do so.

4
00:00:09.090 --> 00:00:10.920
My name is Wendy Verrei-Berenback.

5
00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:12.510
I'm with the Center for Teaching and Learning

6
00:00:12.510 --> 00:00:15.990
and also on the Brightspace Implementation team.

7
00:00:15.990 --> 00:00:17.640
We welcome you this morning

8
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.520
to "The ABC's of Brightspace Content."

9
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:23.670
And it's facilitated by Jackie Nehls,

10
00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:27.300
who is with Desire2Learn, Brightspace parent company.

11
00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:28.620
The session will be recorded,

12
00:00:28.620 --> 00:00:29.520
and then we'll publish it

13
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:32.730
to the Brightspace Implementation website

14
00:00:32.730 --> 00:00:35.610
so that you can review at any time.

15
00:00:35.610 --> 00:00:39.390
And we will put that URL to the website up in just a minute

16
00:00:39.390 --> 00:00:41.583
if you don't have it already bookmarked.

17
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.660
So during this next hour, it's gonna be an overview

18
00:00:45.660 --> 00:00:49.500
of how to create content in a Brightspace course.

19
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:52.470
We will be having follow-up sessions to go deeper on content

20
00:00:52.470 --> 00:00:54.090
beginning the first week of October

21
00:00:54.090 --> 00:00:57.990
and continue to offer support throughout the implementation.

22
00:00:57.990 --> 00:01:00.480
We will use the chat for question and answer.

23
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:02.160
So please enter your questions there.

24
00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:03.480
We are a smaller group,

25
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:06.030
so probably at some point it'll be easier...

26
00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:07.980
Or Jackie will ask you all just,

27
00:01:07.980 --> 00:01:10.080
if you want to, you can speak your questions as well.

28
00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:12.030
But we'll start out using the chat.

29
00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:15.300
And if we don't know the answer, we will get back to you.

30
00:01:15.300 --> 00:01:17.553
And I've mentioned Jackie now several times.

31
00:01:19.248 --> 00:01:21.090
She's a trainer for Desire2Learn,

32
00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:22.470
and she's worked in education

33
00:01:22.470 --> 00:01:24.480
and corporate training for 15 years.

34
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.460
She's a certified adult educator

35
00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:29.070
and has a degree in higher ed management

36
00:01:29.070 --> 00:01:32.520
and is currently studying at McMaster University.

37
00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:33.873
So welcome, Jackie.

38
00:01:35.730 --> 00:01:38.010
We are glad to have you with us.

39
00:01:38.010 --> 00:01:38.843
<v ->Well, thank you.</v>

40
00:01:38.843 --> 00:01:41.040
And welcome, everybody, to this training.

41
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:42.540
Again, it's just an hour long,

42
00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:45.750
just enough to give you some tidbits and some features

43
00:01:45.750 --> 00:01:48.450
that you can use to start building some content.

44
00:01:48.450 --> 00:01:50.970
Again, as Wendy mentioned, we will be recording.

45
00:01:50.970 --> 00:01:53.190
We do ask that you don't share the recording

46
00:01:53.190 --> 00:01:55.980
outside of Brightspace, because we're going to be sharing

47
00:01:55.980 --> 00:01:59.730
proprietary and confidential information.

48
00:01:59.730 --> 00:02:01.200
Now, today, we're gonna talk

49
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.110
a lot about the ABCs of content,

50
00:02:04.110 --> 00:02:06.990
how it's organized, how you can create it,

51
00:02:06.990 --> 00:02:10.020
powerful tools inside of Brightspace itself.

52
00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:12.960
But we also have options to upload contents

53
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.700
that you've already created.

54
00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:17.490
So we're not asking you to reinvent everything.

55
00:02:17.490 --> 00:02:18.870
We can link content

56
00:02:18.870 --> 00:02:21.210
to various course activities within Brightspace

57
00:02:21.210 --> 00:02:24.540
so your students have less clicks, if you will.

58
00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:27.960
And we'll show you some of the settings for content.

59
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.200
Inside of the system, you can set visibility status,

60
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:34.230
date restrictions, Release Conditions,

61
00:02:34.230 --> 00:02:36.600
which we call conditional released content.

62
00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:38.790
And we'll talk about that.

63
00:02:38.790 --> 00:02:40.860
We will also share some guidelines

64
00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:43.650
of copying and pasting from Word inside of Brightspace.

65
00:02:43.650 --> 00:02:45.600
Again, there are several different ways

66
00:02:45.600 --> 00:02:48.420
to add content that you've already created.

67
00:02:48.420 --> 00:02:52.110
And we'll briefly go over how you can create from scratch.

68
00:02:52.110 --> 00:02:55.320
Again, we're just a short hour.

69
00:02:55.320 --> 00:02:56.640
And more sessions will follow

70
00:02:56.640 --> 00:02:58.390
with a little bit of a deeper dive.

71
00:02:59.820 --> 00:03:01.830
Now, we won't spend any time in PowerPoint

72
00:03:01.830 --> 00:03:04.080
because we will be going into your environment.

73
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:08.760
So we do encourage you to jump in and poke around with us.

74
00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:11.190
Each of you should have a sandbox to play in

75
00:03:11.190 --> 00:03:12.630
in your environment.

76
00:03:12.630 --> 00:03:13.860
But again, you're always welcome

77
00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:15.873
to just follow along with our screen.

78
00:03:17.130 --> 00:03:19.560
This is just an example on my screen right now

79
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:20.640
that I'm sharing with you,

80
00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:23.130
is how some of the contents can be built,

81
00:03:23.130 --> 00:03:25.800
and how you can not only build from scratch,

82
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.890
but also amalgamate things that you've already created.

83
00:03:28.890 --> 00:03:31.240
So we'll show you a little bit more about that.

84
00:03:32.820 --> 00:03:35.310
Now, again, as Wendy mentioned,

85
00:03:35.310 --> 00:03:37.980
please feel free to put your questions in chat.

86
00:03:37.980 --> 00:03:42.060
And we will be happy to share the answers with you,

87
00:03:42.060 --> 00:03:44.610
if not today, then of course at a later time.

88
00:03:44.610 --> 00:03:48.120
But we wanna ensure that we're answering your questions.

89
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:49.500
For our session today,

90
00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:53.910
hopefully you can see the main institutional homepage

91
00:03:53.910 --> 00:03:55.200
on your screen.

92
00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:57.270
I'm going to be using my own sandbox,

93
00:03:57.270 --> 00:04:00.570
which will look very similar and familiar to you.

94
00:04:00.570 --> 00:04:02.640
It has the same course homepage

95
00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:04.563
that you have in your sandboxes.

96
00:04:06.210 --> 00:04:09.420
Once we jump into our sandbox, we have to consider

97
00:04:09.420 --> 00:04:12.810
what sort of content we want to add for our students.

98
00:04:12.810 --> 00:04:15.420
Now, again, in later sessions and in previous sessions,

99
00:04:15.420 --> 00:04:16.260
we've talked a little bit

100
00:04:16.260 --> 00:04:19.170
about some of these widgets you'll see,

101
00:04:19.170 --> 00:04:22.380
but we're going to focus again today on Content.

102
00:04:22.380 --> 00:04:26.160
Now, Content should be listed on the nav bar.

103
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:27.960
So you can just click into that.

104
00:04:27.960 --> 00:04:30.330
Students would have the same or similar experience

105
00:04:30.330 --> 00:04:33.423
where they can click into their own content of the course.

106
00:04:35.010 --> 00:04:38.820
When we talk about content of a course, we basically state

107
00:04:38.820 --> 00:04:41.490
that it is the building block of all of the material

108
00:04:41.490 --> 00:04:44.103
your students will refer to and learn from.

109
00:04:45.030 --> 00:04:46.890
Now, content, when we first jump

110
00:04:46.890 --> 00:04:50.340
into a sandbox space or a course,

111
00:04:50.340 --> 00:04:51.660
is something you can build,

112
00:04:51.660 --> 00:04:56.340
and you can sort of make your own within your course.

113
00:04:56.340 --> 00:04:58.680
So I just wanted to share with you a couple of the buttons

114
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.500
and things that you can do inside of the content.

115
00:05:01.500 --> 00:05:05.130
And then we'll work on building some modules or topics

116
00:05:05.130 --> 00:05:08.133
and put things within those modules or topics.

117
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.760
When we first come in to a course,

118
00:05:11.760 --> 00:05:15.000
we see this Overview in the center of the screen.

119
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.760
This is a space for you to put a basic overview

120
00:05:17.760 --> 00:05:20.280
of what's happening within the course.

121
00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:22.470
This is not the only space to do so.

122
00:05:22.470 --> 00:05:25.650
In fact, you can add an overview or a syllabi

123
00:05:25.650 --> 00:05:28.140
in different areas, or even a description

124
00:05:28.140 --> 00:05:31.350
of what the module or topic will be about.

125
00:05:31.350 --> 00:05:32.610
But if you so choose,

126
00:05:32.610 --> 00:05:35.673
you can add an overview for the entire course here.

127
00:05:36.510 --> 00:05:38.190
To do that, we have a couple of buttons,

128
00:05:38.190 --> 00:05:41.250
such as "Add a welcome message, overview, or description,"

129
00:05:41.250 --> 00:05:43.140
and you can also add an attachment

130
00:05:43.140 --> 00:05:45.540
such as a syllabi or office hours

131
00:05:45.540 --> 00:05:47.370
or whatever you would like.

132
00:05:47.370 --> 00:05:48.780
And when adding an attachment,

133
00:05:48.780 --> 00:05:50.730
it's a simple drag-and-drop feature,

134
00:05:50.730 --> 00:05:52.443
which we will demonstrate to you.

135
00:05:53.910 --> 00:05:55.429
All you need to do, again, is click into the words,

136
00:05:55.429 --> 00:05:59.340
"Add a welcome message, overview, or description."

137
00:05:59.340 --> 00:06:04.080
And it opens up to what we call the Brightspace HTML Editor.

138
00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:06.360
Now, if you've been in training sessions with us before,

139
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.040
or if you're brand new today,

140
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.170
you will see that this Brightspace Editor

141
00:06:10.170 --> 00:06:11.490
is in several places

142
00:06:11.490 --> 00:06:14.670
with several tools inside of the environment.

143
00:06:14.670 --> 00:06:16.020
And you can use it the same

144
00:06:16.020 --> 00:06:18.573
or in similar fashion with other tools.

145
00:06:20.250 --> 00:06:22.740
Now, I'm not going to add an overview at the moment,

146
00:06:22.740 --> 00:06:24.600
but the next area we see is Bookmarks.

147
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.370
Again, if you've been with us before,

148
00:06:26.370 --> 00:06:28.950
a Bookmark is availability for a student

149
00:06:28.950 --> 00:06:32.370
to bookmark a specific area of content.

150
00:06:32.370 --> 00:06:34.500
It loads into this Bookmark space,

151
00:06:34.500 --> 00:06:36.990
and students would be able to click into Bookmarks

152
00:06:36.990 --> 00:06:40.413
to see these favorites or bookmarked content.

153
00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:44.310
Course Schedule will relate directly

154
00:06:44.310 --> 00:06:46.170
to any dates that you've added

155
00:06:46.170 --> 00:06:47.820
to anything within the course.

156
00:06:47.820 --> 00:06:48.930
So students can quickly

157
00:06:48.930 --> 00:06:51.390
and easily click on the Course Schedule,

158
00:06:51.390 --> 00:06:54.630
and they'll see what's coming up in the next seven days.

159
00:06:54.630 --> 00:06:57.180
They can also click on this Full Schedule tab

160
00:06:57.180 --> 00:07:00.180
to see what's happening within their course in its entirety.

161
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.980
Now, we come down to the Table of Contents.

162
00:07:04.980 --> 00:07:07.050
Within my course at the moment,

163
00:07:07.050 --> 00:07:09.630
I don't have any table of contents available

164
00:07:09.630 --> 00:07:12.210
because I haven't built anything yet.

165
00:07:12.210 --> 00:07:13.980
Now, you may come into a course

166
00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:16.950
that already has a few components that are added to it.

167
00:07:16.950 --> 00:07:20.130
And that may be for a couple of purposes.

168
00:07:20.130 --> 00:07:22.230
One main purpose is it's been migrated

169
00:07:22.230 --> 00:07:25.980
or added to your course prior to you getting to it.

170
00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:27.540
Another is that someone else

171
00:07:27.540 --> 00:07:29.590
has added a couple of components for you.

172
00:07:32.220 --> 00:07:33.990
You can add more to that

173
00:07:33.990 --> 00:07:36.060
and build upon your course material.

174
00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:37.950
Or you may see the screen that I have,

175
00:07:37.950 --> 00:07:40.200
which is "Welcome to your course."

176
00:07:40.200 --> 00:07:42.663
Now, it's time to import or add modules.

177
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.950
When we're in Table of Contents, you'll notice three tabs

178
00:07:46.950 --> 00:07:49.743
just below the title in the center of the screen.

179
00:07:50.580 --> 00:07:53.430
This will allow you to import an entire course,

180
00:07:53.430 --> 00:07:55.920
or course package, if you will.

181
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.320
You can edit things once you've added.

182
00:07:58.320 --> 00:08:00.480
And you can click this Related tools

183
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.260
to use other tools that are available to build content.

184
00:08:04.260 --> 00:08:06.600
Now, today we won't get into these Related Tools,

185
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:08.400
but you will find them.

186
00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:10.320
Course Builder is a different way

187
00:08:10.320 --> 00:08:12.450
for you to build course materials.

188
00:08:12.450 --> 00:08:14.730
And Manage Files is another way for you

189
00:08:14.730 --> 00:08:17.520
to add larger files to your course.

190
00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:19.350
Again, we'll expand on these,

191
00:08:19.350 --> 00:08:21.850
but you're welcome to click in and check them out.

192
00:08:23.730 --> 00:08:25.980
Import Course is allowing you

193
00:08:25.980 --> 00:08:30.120
to copy existing course material from inside of Brightspace

194
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.643
to another course inside of Brightspace.

195
00:08:34.050 --> 00:08:36.060
Import Course Package allows you

196
00:08:36.060 --> 00:08:38.460
to drag and drop a large file,

197
00:08:38.460 --> 00:08:42.510
a zip file, SCORM file, or even a PDF or a Word document,

198
00:08:42.510 --> 00:08:44.463
into your course from this tab.

199
00:08:45.570 --> 00:08:48.210
This is not the only way to add course material.

200
00:08:48.210 --> 00:08:50.493
But it is one of the many ways you can.

201
00:08:51.420 --> 00:08:55.560
You will only see this tab in the Table of Contents area.

202
00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:56.970
So if you're looking for it,

203
00:08:56.970 --> 00:08:58.860
always click on Table of Contents,

204
00:08:58.860 --> 00:09:01.293
and you will always find this Import Course.

205
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.930
Now, when you want to import course material,

206
00:09:06.930 --> 00:09:09.210
again, one of the many ways you could do that

207
00:09:09.210 --> 00:09:13.380
is clicking Import Course Package.

208
00:09:13.380 --> 00:09:15.240
When you select that tab,

209
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:19.050
you are easily able to drag and drop something

210
00:09:19.050 --> 00:09:22.443
from your computer screen directly into this area.

211
00:09:23.790 --> 00:09:25.710
Once you uncheck your mouse,

212
00:09:25.710 --> 00:09:28.200
this is a zip file that I'm demonstrating,

213
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.300
everything within this file will unzip

214
00:09:30.300 --> 00:09:33.873
and load into your course front-facing for your students.

215
00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:39.030
You can load up to two gigabytes of a document.

216
00:09:39.030 --> 00:09:40.140
And as I mentioned,

217
00:09:40.140 --> 00:09:42.750
you can add a zip file as I just demonstrated,

218
00:09:42.750 --> 00:09:44.880
but you can also add something

219
00:09:44.880 --> 00:09:47.223
such as an individual document.

220
00:09:49.110 --> 00:09:51.093
Again, just a simple drag and drop.

221
00:09:53.490 --> 00:09:55.470
Now, we will demonstrate that again

222
00:09:55.470 --> 00:09:56.910
with a different type of tool,

223
00:09:56.910 --> 00:09:59.730
but it's the same way to go about it.

224
00:09:59.730 --> 00:10:02.280
And I'll show you the various ways you can do this.

225
00:10:04.650 --> 00:10:09.570
Now, we want to start building modules or units or topics.

226
00:10:09.570 --> 00:10:11.550
We call the modules, but you're welcome

227
00:10:11.550 --> 00:10:13.980
to call them different naming conventions.

228
00:10:13.980 --> 00:10:17.580
And what we need to do is just layer out our course content.

229
00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:21.063
So how do we want it to appear for our students?

230
00:10:21.900 --> 00:10:23.760
To add a new module or topic,

231
00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:26.010
you can select "Add module or topic"

232
00:10:26.010 --> 00:10:29.670
directly on the words inside of this text box.

233
00:10:29.670 --> 00:10:32.793
From here, you could give your new module a name.

234
00:10:34.350 --> 00:10:36.333
I'm just gonna add Course Overview.

235
00:10:38.400 --> 00:10:41.670
But again, the naming convention is up to you.

236
00:10:41.670 --> 00:10:44.340
Once you select off of that box,

237
00:10:44.340 --> 00:10:46.983
it will be loaded in your Table of Contents.

238
00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:50.823
From here, you could add more modules as placeholders.

239
00:10:52.530 --> 00:10:53.363
Oop.

240
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:56.153
There we go.

241
00:10:57.330 --> 00:10:59.550
And continue to build the modules

242
00:10:59.550 --> 00:11:01.473
or topics within your course.

243
00:11:02.370 --> 00:11:04.290
Now, it's just a name at this moment.

244
00:11:04.290 --> 00:11:05.670
We would also wanna consider

245
00:11:05.670 --> 00:11:08.973
what do we wanna place inside of this module or topic.

246
00:11:09.930 --> 00:11:12.450
So I'm just gonna click on Course Overview again,

247
00:11:12.450 --> 00:11:15.390
even though I've given a placeholder for Module 1.

248
00:11:15.390 --> 00:11:16.920
And when I click into that,

249
00:11:16.920 --> 00:11:19.050
you'll notice in the center of the screen,

250
00:11:19.050 --> 00:11:21.810
this now gives me an opportunity to add material

251
00:11:21.810 --> 00:11:24.093
and information about the Course Overview.

252
00:11:26.250 --> 00:11:29.370
Now, you'll notice at any time in the center of the screen

253
00:11:29.370 --> 00:11:31.410
there is this chevron or dropdown.

254
00:11:31.410 --> 00:11:32.520
And this allows you

255
00:11:32.520 --> 00:11:35.250
to do a number of different functionalities.

256
00:11:35.250 --> 00:11:37.290
First and foremost, if you're like me

257
00:11:37.290 --> 00:11:38.970
and you wanna change this a little bit,

258
00:11:38.970 --> 00:11:40.473
you could edit the title.

259
00:11:41.700 --> 00:11:43.920
Another feature in each module

260
00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:47.130
is that we can hide this from the users.

261
00:11:47.130 --> 00:11:50.400
So for example, if I jump to this Module 1,

262
00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:51.870
it's just a placeholder,

263
00:11:51.870 --> 00:11:55.230
but I'm not yet ready my students to see this.

264
00:11:55.230 --> 00:11:58.953
So I could click the dropdown and Hide from Users.

265
00:12:00.660 --> 00:12:04.110
Hiding it from users means as soon as you click Save,

266
00:12:04.110 --> 00:12:07.290
users who are already enrolled in this course

267
00:12:07.290 --> 00:12:08.883
will not be able to see it.

268
00:12:10.050 --> 00:12:11.253
It makes it hidden.

269
00:12:12.300 --> 00:12:16.950
So for example, if I jump over to my student view,

270
00:12:16.950 --> 00:12:18.960
and you'll notice that the top right of my screen,

271
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:20.310
I'm in as a learner,

272
00:12:20.310 --> 00:12:23.700
and I go to this course that I'm building.

273
00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:26.310
As the student, when I jump into Content,

274
00:12:26.310 --> 00:12:28.830
because that Module 1 is hidden,

275
00:12:28.830 --> 00:12:31.203
I cannot see it in my Table of Contents.

276
00:12:32.190 --> 00:12:35.670
So hidden is one of the many ways that you can layer out

277
00:12:35.670 --> 00:12:38.280
what students will see in their course material

278
00:12:38.280 --> 00:12:39.513
and what they will not.

279
00:12:41.670 --> 00:12:45.270
Now, jumping back into my build.

280
00:12:45.270 --> 00:12:47.670
Again, clicking on the dropdown will allow you

281
00:12:47.670 --> 00:12:50.880
to, again, make it visible or make it hidden.

282
00:12:50.880 --> 00:12:53.910
But you'll also notice this icon here.

283
00:12:53.910 --> 00:12:55.950
This icon allows you to toggle

284
00:12:55.950 --> 00:12:59.010
between visible or hidden from a student.

285
00:12:59.010 --> 00:13:01.080
So if I wanna make this visible again,

286
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.830
I just simply go over here and click on this circle.

287
00:13:04.830 --> 00:13:06.900
Or I could use the dropdown

288
00:13:06.900 --> 00:13:09.393
and make it visible or hidden in this manner.

289
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.253
As you're building your placeholders,

290
00:13:17.700 --> 00:13:21.270
every time you build a new module or topic,

291
00:13:21.270 --> 00:13:23.943
it will default to the bottom of the screen.

292
00:13:24.810 --> 00:13:26.100
If you make a new module

293
00:13:26.100 --> 00:13:28.260
that you feel should be placed somewhere else,

294
00:13:28.260 --> 00:13:30.060
it's easy to drag and drop it

295
00:13:30.060 --> 00:13:32.940
or move it to another place in your course.

296
00:13:32.940 --> 00:13:35.700
You would simply drag your mouse

297
00:13:35.700 --> 00:13:38.103
and move it as you need to.

298
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.940
Another option, again, coming back to this chevron

299
00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:44.733
is to use the Move Up or the Move To.

300
00:13:45.570 --> 00:13:48.750
Move Up obviously means we're moving that module up

301
00:13:48.750 --> 00:13:51.990
within the topic matter.

302
00:13:51.990 --> 00:13:54.570
Move To means you're going to move something

303
00:13:54.570 --> 00:13:57.183
within that module to another space.

304
00:13:59.280 --> 00:14:00.720
Now, if you've made an error

305
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:02.880
and you've placed this module incorrectly,

306
00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:05.460
or you want to use it in another course,

307
00:14:05.460 --> 00:14:07.680
once you move it over, or if you decide,

308
00:14:07.680 --> 00:14:10.473
you could delete the entire module, if necessary.

309
00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:14.253
However, once it is deleted, it is gone.

310
00:14:16.410 --> 00:14:18.753
Now, returning to our Course Overview,

311
00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:21.870
we do have an option very similar

312
00:14:21.870 --> 00:14:23.820
to what we saw in the Overview

313
00:14:23.820 --> 00:14:26.640
to Add dates and restrictions.

314
00:14:26.640 --> 00:14:28.890
We already noted that you can hide things

315
00:14:28.890 --> 00:14:31.200
from the student if necessary,

316
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.090
but another way in which you could do that

317
00:14:33.090 --> 00:14:35.370
and restrict or add dates to content

318
00:14:35.370 --> 00:14:38.847
is clicking in this tab called "Add dates and restrictions."

319
00:14:39.990 --> 00:14:41.940
Once you select in here, you can add

320
00:14:41.940 --> 00:14:44.730
a Start Date, a Due Date, and an End Date

321
00:14:44.730 --> 00:14:47.133
to any of the course material in your course.

322
00:14:48.300 --> 00:14:51.270
A Start Date means the very first day

323
00:14:51.270 --> 00:14:52.440
that a student will be able

324
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.813
to see this Course Overview module.

325
00:14:56.340 --> 00:15:00.543
You can set it by date and be very specific even by time.

326
00:15:01.860 --> 00:15:06.330
A Due Date in Brightspace is a soft date,

327
00:15:06.330 --> 00:15:09.630
which means if you're layering out a path for your learners,

328
00:15:09.630 --> 00:15:11.940
they will see the Due Date.

329
00:15:11.940 --> 00:15:12.840
They will still be able

330
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.360
to access this course content material.

331
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:19.263
However, it will show in their course schedule as overdue.

332
00:15:20.130 --> 00:15:22.800
Again, students will still be able to access it,

333
00:15:22.800 --> 00:15:24.810
but it will show them that it is overdue

334
00:15:24.810 --> 00:15:27.723
and they should have gone to see it before the due date.

335
00:15:29.670 --> 00:15:32.610
An End Date with content in Brightspace

336
00:15:32.610 --> 00:15:34.980
is the very last day that the students

337
00:15:34.980 --> 00:15:37.413
will have access and be able to see this.

338
00:15:38.910 --> 00:15:41.610
So an End Date you could utilize

339
00:15:41.610 --> 00:15:45.723
to layer or present a learning path to your users.

340
00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:49.800
Now, you can use one

341
00:15:49.800 --> 00:15:54.120
such as a Start Date or a Due Date or an End Date.

342
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:57.030
You can use these in combination with each other.

343
00:15:57.030 --> 00:15:59.730
Or you don't necessarily have to use them at all.

344
00:15:59.730 --> 00:16:01.200
It's really up to how you want

345
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.933
to display your course material to your students.

346
00:16:05.370 --> 00:16:08.460
So that's another way that you could add sort of dates

347
00:16:08.460 --> 00:16:11.703
and restrictions to your content in your course.

348
00:16:13.140 --> 00:16:15.843
We also have something called a Release Condition.

349
00:16:17.820 --> 00:16:21.390
A Release Condition is a specific set of criteria

350
00:16:21.390 --> 00:16:24.153
that you would set on this content material.

351
00:16:25.230 --> 00:16:26.580
Now, for the Course Overview,

352
00:16:26.580 --> 00:16:29.640
we likely would not have a Release Condition.

353
00:16:29.640 --> 00:16:32.490
However, to show you how this works,

354
00:16:32.490 --> 00:16:36.063
when you click Create, a popup will appear on the screen.

355
00:16:37.110 --> 00:16:39.300
This will allow you to click the chevron

356
00:16:39.300 --> 00:16:41.400
and choose different conditions

357
00:16:41.400 --> 00:16:44.640
that you want the student to meet before they will see

358
00:16:44.640 --> 00:16:47.043
the actual contents that you're presenting.

359
00:16:48.450 --> 00:16:50.460
This is something that you could choose

360
00:16:50.460 --> 00:16:52.320
based on how they've done

361
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.910
with a specific grade, a quiz score.

362
00:16:56.910 --> 00:16:59.040
Did they complete a survey?

363
00:16:59.040 --> 00:17:01.410
Did they actually look at content prior to this

364
00:17:01.410 --> 00:17:03.213
that was presented in the course?

365
00:17:05.070 --> 00:17:07.350
Now, we don't have anything in the course yet.

366
00:17:07.350 --> 00:17:08.850
So we'll come back and share with you

367
00:17:08.850 --> 00:17:11.910
a little bit more detail about a Release Condition.

368
00:17:11.910 --> 00:17:13.650
But it's very important to know

369
00:17:13.650 --> 00:17:16.740
that you can use hidden or visible.

370
00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:19.380
You can use Start Dates, Due Dates, and End Dates.

371
00:17:19.380 --> 00:17:21.633
And you can use Release Conditions.

372
00:17:22.560 --> 00:17:25.140
Now, I must say a Release Condition

373
00:17:25.140 --> 00:17:28.953
will overtake a Start Date, End Date, or Due Date.

374
00:17:30.090 --> 00:17:31.290
So what I mean by that

375
00:17:31.290 --> 00:17:34.650
is if we were to set a specific set of criteria,

376
00:17:34.650 --> 00:17:36.510
that a student must complete a survey

377
00:17:36.510 --> 00:17:40.920
before they can see this particular content in their course,

378
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.130
if the student never actually completes that survey,

379
00:17:44.130 --> 00:17:46.533
they will not see this content topic.

380
00:17:47.760 --> 00:17:50.160
Regardless of the dates,

381
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:52.320
if a student does not complete this activity,

382
00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:55.320
they will not see the content attached.

383
00:17:55.320 --> 00:17:59.760
So just be mindful of setting those Release Conditions.

384
00:17:59.760 --> 00:18:01.597
You would think, "Are these something

385
00:18:01.597 --> 00:18:03.007
"that a student could accomplish

386
00:18:03.007 --> 00:18:04.587
"to be able to move forward?"

387
00:18:08.250 --> 00:18:11.610
Now, apart from dates and restrictions,

388
00:18:11.610 --> 00:18:16.020
which you are available to do, but again, not necessary,

389
00:18:16.020 --> 00:18:17.853
you can also add a description.

390
00:18:18.870 --> 00:18:22.593
So a description is describing what's within this module.

391
00:18:23.520 --> 00:18:26.220
Again, selecting directly on the words,

392
00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:28.830
you will see that we have this HTML editor,

393
00:18:28.830 --> 00:18:30.843
similar to what we saw in the Overview.

394
00:18:31.950 --> 00:18:35.110
From here, you could simply type information

395
00:18:38.430 --> 00:18:40.323
as you would a document.

396
00:18:46.800 --> 00:18:50.133
And with that, you can add different components to it.

397
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.210
So for example, if you've already created a syllabi

398
00:18:54.210 --> 00:18:56.340
and you just wanna add it to this space

399
00:18:56.340 --> 00:18:59.820
to provide this to the students as an overview,

400
00:18:59.820 --> 00:19:01.623
you could do a couple of things.

401
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:05.820
You could open up your syllabus on your computer screen

402
00:19:05.820 --> 00:19:09.210
and copy and paste components of that.

403
00:19:09.210 --> 00:19:12.300
It's a simple copy and paste as you would.

404
00:19:12.300 --> 00:19:14.070
So right now, behind the scenes,

405
00:19:14.070 --> 00:19:17.130
I'm just copying from my syllabi I've already created

406
00:19:17.130 --> 00:19:20.553
from my computer or laptop, and selecting Paste.

407
00:19:21.810 --> 00:19:23.260
It should just take a moment.

408
00:19:26.670 --> 00:19:28.113
Technical difficulties.

409
00:19:31.710 --> 00:19:34.530
There it is. Just took an extra second.

410
00:19:34.530 --> 00:19:37.650
So as you can see, I've copied and pasted this syllabi

411
00:19:37.650 --> 00:19:39.753
from my computer, and I've added it here.

412
00:19:42.780 --> 00:19:44.880
Now, you could type that in.

413
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:47.160
You could type in some detail information,

414
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.460
and when you're ready, you could click Update.

415
00:19:50.850 --> 00:19:52.860
So when the student opens this up,

416
00:19:52.860 --> 00:19:56.010
if I return back to my Course Overview,

417
00:19:56.010 --> 00:19:57.783
this is what the student will see.

418
00:19:58.860 --> 00:20:01.230
Now, there are other ways to add components

419
00:20:01.230 --> 00:20:04.440
to this information that you're providing

420
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.290
for your overview or description of a module.

421
00:20:07.290 --> 00:20:09.990
But we're going to explore and expand on that as well.

422
00:20:14.310 --> 00:20:18.150
Now, you could add what we call a sub-module.

423
00:20:18.150 --> 00:20:22.083
A sub-module is a module or a topic within a module.

424
00:20:23.220 --> 00:20:26.640
Just as we had added individual modules over here,

425
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:29.460
we can add a sub-module here.

426
00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:32.370
So for example, I could click into this box

427
00:20:32.370 --> 00:20:34.950
at the very bottom of the center of my screen

428
00:20:34.950 --> 00:20:37.137
and select "Add a sub-module."

429
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:42.390
In this, I may put an extra topic within my module,

430
00:20:42.390 --> 00:20:44.580
such as Office Hours.

431
00:20:44.580 --> 00:20:47.130
Again, when I select outside of that box,

432
00:20:47.130 --> 00:20:49.653
it will add what we call a sub-module.

433
00:20:50.670 --> 00:20:52.080
Now, you'll notice the formatting

434
00:20:52.080 --> 00:20:54.180
here in my Table of Contents.

435
00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:55.890
I have my Course Overview,

436
00:20:55.890 --> 00:20:57.780
and indented and just to the side

437
00:20:57.780 --> 00:21:00.093
is my sub-module, Office Hours.

438
00:21:01.770 --> 00:21:03.840
Now, sub-modules are options,

439
00:21:03.840 --> 00:21:07.620
not necessary if you do not like to use the sub-modules.

440
00:21:07.620 --> 00:21:10.383
But they're topics within a module, if you will.

441
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:17.610
So we've briefly built some modules and sub-modules.

442
00:21:17.610 --> 00:21:19.470
We've added some dates and restrictions

443
00:21:19.470 --> 00:21:22.773
and some details within each module itself.

444
00:21:24.300 --> 00:21:27.120
For this, I'm gonna go to Module 1 to share with you

445
00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:30.723
how we can add actual content inside of a module.

446
00:21:31.710 --> 00:21:34.500
So I'm just gonna select into Module 1.

447
00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:36.780
And now we see different buttons

448
00:21:36.780 --> 00:21:39.760
than we did in the Course Overview

449
00:21:40.770 --> 00:21:44.043
and added to those dates and restrictions and description.

450
00:21:45.810 --> 00:21:49.590
Again, at any time, I can select the dropdown,

451
00:21:49.590 --> 00:21:52.890
and I can actually edit the title, hide it from the users,

452
00:21:52.890 --> 00:21:55.500
delete the module if necessary.

453
00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:57.870
I could add my dates and restrictions and descriptions

454
00:21:57.870 --> 00:21:59.523
for this individual module.

455
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:03.900
But now we wanna add the good stuff.

456
00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:05.550
What do the students,

457
00:22:05.550 --> 00:22:07.773
what will they learn within this module?

458
00:22:09.210 --> 00:22:11.100
Now, I have these three tabs,

459
00:22:11.100 --> 00:22:15.663
Upload and Create, Existing Activities, and Bulk Edit.

460
00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:18.360
You'll also notice that I have this box

461
00:22:18.360 --> 00:22:23.160
that says "Drag and drop files to create and update topics."

462
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:24.540
So just as we had seen

463
00:22:24.540 --> 00:22:27.930
in the "Add a description" in the HTML editor,

464
00:22:27.930 --> 00:22:30.030
I can drag and drop things.

465
00:22:30.030 --> 00:22:32.670
But this box makes it quite simple and easy for me

466
00:22:32.670 --> 00:22:36.720
to just, again, take something from my computer

467
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:39.750
and drag and drop until it lands inside of that box

468
00:22:39.750 --> 00:22:41.223
or drag-and-drop area.

469
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:46.500
Now, you'll notice I added a Word document,

470
00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:47.940
a "Glossary of Terms."

471
00:22:47.940 --> 00:22:49.950
So it tells me what the document is

472
00:22:49.950 --> 00:22:51.333
and what type of document.

473
00:22:53.850 --> 00:22:56.520
If I click back on Module 1,

474
00:22:56.520 --> 00:22:59.553
you'll notice that I still have these tabs here at the top.

475
00:23:00.870 --> 00:23:04.053
This time I'm gonna go to Upload and Create.

476
00:23:05.730 --> 00:23:10.730
Now, when I click this dropdown, Upload Files will appear.

477
00:23:10.980 --> 00:23:13.680
So a different way to upload files for my computer

478
00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:16.203
is to click into Upload Files.

479
00:23:17.310 --> 00:23:21.210
From here, I can then go to My Computer.

480
00:23:21.210 --> 00:23:23.220
And again, I can drag and drop files

481
00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:24.543
from my computer screen.

482
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:29.400
In this instance, I may just take a PowerPoint document

483
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:30.930
that I've already created

484
00:23:30.930 --> 00:23:33.063
and upload it by dragging and dropping it.

485
00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:36.550
When I'm ready, I'm just gonna click Add.

486
00:23:38.430 --> 00:23:40.950
So now you'll notice I've added a Word document

487
00:23:40.950 --> 00:23:42.603
and a PowerPoint presentation.

488
00:23:43.980 --> 00:23:47.490
Just to note, when you do add a PowerPoint presentation,

489
00:23:47.490 --> 00:23:50.100
it's going to upload into Brightspace

490
00:23:50.100 --> 00:23:52.953
and share with the students as a PDF.

491
00:23:53.940 --> 00:23:56.400
So the system will flatten that to a PDF

492
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:57.873
versus a PowerPoint.

493
00:23:58.740 --> 00:24:01.440
Now, the students may have the opportunity

494
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:03.030
to download this option,

495
00:24:03.030 --> 00:24:05.613
as you can see at the bottom left of my screen.

496
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:09.360
When a student will download this PowerPoint,

497
00:24:09.360 --> 00:24:11.310
it will convert back to PowerPoint,

498
00:24:11.310 --> 00:24:14.280
so students will see it as a PowerPoint presentation

499
00:24:14.280 --> 00:24:15.603
with notes included.

500
00:24:18.840 --> 00:24:21.930
Students may also have the option to print.

501
00:24:21.930 --> 00:24:23.580
This would be connected to the printer

502
00:24:23.580 --> 00:24:26.673
that is connected to their laptop or their computer.

503
00:24:29.010 --> 00:24:30.780
The reason Brightspace will flatten this

504
00:24:30.780 --> 00:24:32.520
is just, again, for size

505
00:24:32.520 --> 00:24:35.553
and for easability of the students to open the document.

506
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:42.090
Now, at any time, you can return back

507
00:24:42.090 --> 00:24:44.700
and continue to build inside of your module

508
00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:47.610
or return to your Table of Contents.

509
00:24:47.610 --> 00:24:50.220
We do recommend to click on the tabs here,

510
00:24:50.220 --> 00:24:52.023
which we call breadcrumbs.

511
00:24:53.070 --> 00:24:56.340
We recommend that instead of going

512
00:24:56.340 --> 00:24:58.410
to the very top left-hand side of your screen

513
00:24:58.410 --> 00:25:00.660
and clicking this back button.

514
00:25:00.660 --> 00:25:03.660
Often if we click on the back button,

515
00:25:03.660 --> 00:25:06.150
it'll bump us right out of Brightspace.

516
00:25:06.150 --> 00:25:09.450
So anytime you see this path or these breadcrumbs,

517
00:25:09.450 --> 00:25:11.133
we do recommend to use that.

518
00:25:14.970 --> 00:25:18.603
As always, you could just click on Content in your nav bar.

519
00:25:20.580 --> 00:25:24.660
Now, we've added a couple of documents to our Module 1.

520
00:25:24.660 --> 00:25:27.390
We've added some things to our Course Schedule,

521
00:25:27.390 --> 00:25:29.250
or previously.

522
00:25:29.250 --> 00:25:32.550
So you'll notice there is a number 2 beside Module 1.

523
00:25:32.550 --> 00:25:33.780
And this just means

524
00:25:33.780 --> 00:25:36.813
that there are two items within this module.

525
00:25:38.494 --> 00:25:41.100
The Table of Contents will also have the number 2

526
00:25:41.100 --> 00:25:44.643
to share that there are two items within the course so far.

527
00:25:45.510 --> 00:25:47.730
So as we start to build more content,

528
00:25:47.730 --> 00:25:49.953
these numbers will rise.

529
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:56.100
Returning to Module 1, we uploaded a file,

530
00:25:56.100 --> 00:25:58.680
and we could click on from My Computer,

531
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:00.753
but we have two other offerings here.

532
00:26:01.650 --> 00:26:03.960
Course Offering Files are files

533
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.173
that have been loaded behind the scenes in your course.

534
00:26:08.310 --> 00:26:10.920
Public Files are files that UVM

535
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:14.310
is sharing with all instructors and faculty

536
00:26:14.310 --> 00:26:17.043
to share as a common file within your course.

537
00:26:18.510 --> 00:26:21.180
As you build and grow, you may see more and more options

538
00:26:21.180 --> 00:26:24.453
for Public Files as well as Course Offering Files.

539
00:26:26.610 --> 00:26:28.740
When you select onto Course Offering Files,

540
00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:31.170
you may not have any files here yet,

541
00:26:31.170 --> 00:26:32.700
but as you build your course,

542
00:26:32.700 --> 00:26:35.673
this is where those files or items will be stored.

543
00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:42.180
Now, again, clicking Upload and Create,

544
00:26:42.180 --> 00:26:46.593
we have another large selection of options.

545
00:26:47.730 --> 00:26:50.463
This next one is called Video or Audio.

546
00:26:51.810 --> 00:26:55.140
When you click Upload and Create and select Video or Audio,

547
00:26:55.140 --> 00:26:57.120
it opens up into this screen

548
00:26:57.120 --> 00:26:58.920
where you can add a video or audio

549
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:01.410
that you have already previously selected

550
00:27:01.410 --> 00:27:03.693
or you're adding to your environment.

551
00:27:05.220 --> 00:27:09.270
With this option, you can add a link that already exists

552
00:27:09.270 --> 00:27:12.930
that you may have saved on your computer screen.

553
00:27:12.930 --> 00:27:16.680
So for example, I can just copy and paste a URL

554
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:19.353
or embed code directly in this space.

555
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:25.400
Now, I've saved this URL, YouTube video, on my computer.

556
00:27:25.770 --> 00:27:27.960
And once I copy and paste,

557
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:30.903
it will show me what the video entails.

558
00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:33.850
From here, I could give it a title

559
00:27:39.390 --> 00:27:40.413
and click Save.

560
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:46.290
Now, my "Cell Structure" video will be available in Module 1

561
00:27:46.290 --> 00:27:48.813
inside of my Content of my course.

562
00:27:52.530 --> 00:27:53.910
Again, just like we see

563
00:27:53.910 --> 00:27:56.100
with Word document, PowerPoint presentation,

564
00:27:56.100 --> 00:27:57.783
we see that this is a video.

565
00:28:00.270 --> 00:28:02.310
We can return back to this dropdown

566
00:28:02.310 --> 00:28:03.960
and click Video or Audio.

567
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:08.720
And we can in fact upload a video such as an MP3 or MP4.

568
00:28:10.170 --> 00:28:13.950
Again, it's a simple process, up to two gigabytes of data,

569
00:28:13.950 --> 00:28:18.003
and I can drag and drop an MP4 directly into this space.

570
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:22.860
Once I release my mouse and drag and drop my MP4,

571
00:28:22.860 --> 00:28:26.490
it loads, it actually processes it,

572
00:28:26.490 --> 00:28:28.240
and it'll tell you when it's ready.

573
00:28:33.840 --> 00:28:35.970
Now, I'm just gonna call this the "Exciting Video,"

574
00:28:35.970 --> 00:28:39.753
because truly it is a bowl of rice filling up.

575
00:28:40.950 --> 00:28:43.230
But just to demonstrate how easy it can be

576
00:28:43.230 --> 00:28:48.060
to add an MP3 or MP4 video into your Content.

577
00:28:48.060 --> 00:28:49.863
When I'm ready, I would click Save.

578
00:28:54.870 --> 00:28:57.000
Now, again, when we click the dropdown,

579
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:01.470
we can add audio or video, and we also have a link.

580
00:29:01.470 --> 00:29:04.260
So when you click Add Video or Audio,

581
00:29:04.260 --> 00:29:06.933
you may see what video sites can be embedded.

582
00:29:07.860 --> 00:29:09.990
I had a previous YouTube video

583
00:29:09.990 --> 00:29:12.120
already selected for my content.

584
00:29:12.120 --> 00:29:14.130
However, you may come to a point

585
00:29:14.130 --> 00:29:15.210
where you would like to search

586
00:29:15.210 --> 00:29:16.893
for different types of videos.

587
00:29:17.730 --> 00:29:20.880
When you select onto this link, it opens up a popup,

588
00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:23.460
which gives you some suggested video sites

589
00:29:23.460 --> 00:29:25.230
where you can search for different videos

590
00:29:25.230 --> 00:29:26.343
for subject matter.

591
00:29:27.870 --> 00:29:29.700
These are just suggested.

592
00:29:29.700 --> 00:29:32.370
They work really well with the Brightspace environment,

593
00:29:32.370 --> 00:29:34.053
but you're not limited to these.

594
00:29:34.890 --> 00:29:36.450
Now, for example, if I were to click

595
00:29:36.450 --> 00:29:41.400
into the Khan Academy or a TeacherTube or TED Talks,

596
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:43.620
it will bring me to that third-party site

597
00:29:43.620 --> 00:29:45.330
where I could search for a video,

598
00:29:45.330 --> 00:29:48.603
copy and paste the URL, and place it into my course.

599
00:29:50.460 --> 00:29:52.350
Again, you're not limited to that.

600
00:29:52.350 --> 00:29:55.293
But once you find that, you can add it to your course.

601
00:29:56.580 --> 00:29:58.560
The embed code works very similar.

602
00:29:58.560 --> 00:30:00.520
So I would just copy an embed code

603
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:03.903
that I already have on my screen,

604
00:30:04.980 --> 00:30:07.860
or sorry, on my computer, and paste it.

605
00:30:07.860 --> 00:30:10.260
And again, it would load onto my screen

606
00:30:10.260 --> 00:30:12.810
so I can check to make sure it's the correct video.

607
00:30:18.660 --> 00:30:19.503
And click Save.

608
00:30:24.210 --> 00:30:27.870
So again, you can add individual documents,

609
00:30:27.870 --> 00:30:30.660
an entire course package, videos,

610
00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:32.763
PowerPoint presentations, and the like.

611
00:30:35.850 --> 00:30:39.750
Another option is that you can actually create a file

612
00:30:39.750 --> 00:30:43.443
using an HTML file creator.

613
00:30:44.520 --> 00:30:47.370
This means that you can create a file from scratch,

614
00:30:47.370 --> 00:30:48.750
but you can also add things

615
00:30:48.750 --> 00:30:50.763
that already exist in combination.

616
00:30:51.990 --> 00:30:55.713
When I click Upload and Create and create a file,

617
00:30:56.790 --> 00:30:57.750
this will allow me

618
00:30:57.750 --> 00:31:00.213
or bring me back to this Brightspace Editor.

619
00:31:01.410 --> 00:31:03.450
Now, in this capacity,

620
00:31:03.450 --> 00:31:05.790
I'm not just adding a description.

621
00:31:05.790 --> 00:31:08.250
Here, I'm creating a new file.

622
00:31:08.250 --> 00:31:12.030
And it tells me I'm creating this file in Module 1.

623
00:31:12.030 --> 00:31:13.620
Again, at any time I can move it

624
00:31:13.620 --> 00:31:17.250
somewhere else within my course, or I could copy it out.

625
00:31:17.250 --> 00:31:19.803
But for now, we're just gonna create a new file.

626
00:31:22.020 --> 00:31:25.563
So with every file, we need to give it a title.

627
00:31:27.930 --> 00:31:30.423
So I might just say Module Introduction.

628
00:31:35.040 --> 00:31:36.450
We also have a tab here

629
00:31:36.450 --> 00:31:38.550
that allows us to hide it from users.

630
00:31:38.550 --> 00:31:40.380
So if we're not ready to publish this

631
00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:43.593
to our students quite yet, we can click Hide from Users.

632
00:31:44.610 --> 00:31:47.130
Again, using this Brightspace Editor,

633
00:31:47.130 --> 00:31:48.990
we can type in the information

634
00:31:48.990 --> 00:31:52.173
we would like to present in this file to our students.

635
00:31:53.310 --> 00:31:56.760
Just as you saw prior to when I copy and pasted the syllabi,

636
00:31:56.760 --> 00:31:58.410
I could do the same here as well.

637
00:32:00.870 --> 00:32:01.773
I can type.

638
00:32:06.120 --> 00:32:07.383
And I can format.

639
00:32:08.430 --> 00:32:11.100
Now, when we use the Brightspace Editor,

640
00:32:11.100 --> 00:32:13.230
we have to let you know that it is built

641
00:32:13.230 --> 00:32:15.183
and designed for accessibility.

642
00:32:16.050 --> 00:32:17.220
So what I mean by that

643
00:32:17.220 --> 00:32:20.880
is we have built tools inside of this editor

644
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:25.158
to work with students who do require assistive technology.

645
00:32:25.158 --> 00:32:28.290
So if I highlight the words that I've typed,

646
00:32:28.290 --> 00:32:29.820
I can utilize this tab

647
00:32:29.820 --> 00:32:32.940
at the very top left of this HTML editor,

648
00:32:32.940 --> 00:32:37.323
and I can sort of format to meet accessibility needs.

649
00:32:38.220 --> 00:32:41.010
For example, I can select Heading 1,

650
00:32:41.010 --> 00:32:43.050
and I can center this

651
00:32:43.050 --> 00:32:45.963
to make it very visible for all of my students to see.

652
00:32:47.460 --> 00:32:50.490
I do have options to bold, italicize, underline,

653
00:32:50.490 --> 00:32:52.593
and I can even text color.

654
00:32:55.050 --> 00:32:57.183
I can change my font sizes.

655
00:32:58.590 --> 00:33:01.980
Now, the font sizes and styles we have here

656
00:33:01.980 --> 00:33:05.970
are specific to those accessibility technology features.

657
00:33:05.970 --> 00:33:10.470
So although we have a limited style for a font,

658
00:33:10.470 --> 00:33:12.180
these are specifically chosen

659
00:33:12.180 --> 00:33:15.060
to meet those accessibility needs.

660
00:33:15.060 --> 00:33:17.610
A screen reader will pick up on these fonts

661
00:33:17.610 --> 00:33:20.700
much easier than the long list you'd see

662
00:33:20.700 --> 00:33:23.523
in a Microsoft email or a Word document.

663
00:33:28.800 --> 00:33:30.240
Another thing that you could do

664
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.730
as you're starting to build your material

665
00:33:32.730 --> 00:33:36.423
is you could use what we call the Accessibility Checker.

666
00:33:37.350 --> 00:33:40.140
Built right inside of this HTML editor

667
00:33:40.140 --> 00:33:42.123
is this eye with this check mark.

668
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:45.780
As you're building, you can come and check

669
00:33:45.780 --> 00:33:49.200
or select directly on this eye with check mark

670
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:52.260
to see if what you've created in your HTML file

671
00:33:52.260 --> 00:33:56.340
meets with accessibility needs, or WCAG as we call them,

672
00:33:56.340 --> 00:33:59.823
web accessibility assistive technology tools.

673
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.700
Now, again, you can copy and paste

674
00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:10.020
from outside of Brightspace directly into Brightspace,

675
00:34:10.020 --> 00:34:11.620
just as we did with the syllabi.

676
00:34:12.540 --> 00:34:16.530
But because we're using specific font styles and sizes,

677
00:34:16.530 --> 00:34:19.923
when you bring things over and copy and paste it,

678
00:34:22.350 --> 00:34:24.093
such as I'm going to demonstrate,

679
00:34:25.770 --> 00:34:28.830
you may note that the font style

680
00:34:28.830 --> 00:34:32.490
is different from what you had on your computer screen.

681
00:34:32.490 --> 00:34:33.810
And again, the system

682
00:34:33.810 --> 00:34:36.210
will automatically adjust the font style

683
00:34:36.210 --> 00:34:38.250
to meet with assistive technology needs

684
00:34:38.250 --> 00:34:41.070
and requirements for the HTML editor.

685
00:34:41.070 --> 00:34:43.530
So you may have to make a couple of adjustments,

686
00:34:43.530 --> 00:34:44.403
but that's okay.

687
00:34:50.850 --> 00:34:53.730
Now, we're not limited to just copying and pasting

688
00:34:53.730 --> 00:34:58.730
or to file sizes or to paragraphs and headings.

689
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:01.623
We also have these three buttons up here.

690
00:35:02.790 --> 00:35:04.230
I call them the power buttons.

691
00:35:04.230 --> 00:35:08.040
I will leave it to you to give them your own nicknames.

692
00:35:08.040 --> 00:35:11.523
But the first one is called Insert Image.

693
00:35:12.660 --> 00:35:15.570
Inserting an image allows you to bring an image

694
00:35:15.570 --> 00:35:19.950
into your HTML file via your computer, a URL,

695
00:35:19.950 --> 00:35:22.353
or those course offering in Public Files.

696
00:35:23.790 --> 00:35:26.613
I'm going to drag and drop something from my computer.

697
00:35:27.570 --> 00:35:29.280
And when I do that, again,

698
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:31.950
because we're using the Brightspace Editor,

699
00:35:31.950 --> 00:35:34.893
the accessibility technology will kick in.

700
00:35:35.910 --> 00:35:38.730
So for example, I'm going to drag and drop an image

701
00:35:38.730 --> 00:35:41.980
from my computer directly into the drag-and-drop location

702
00:35:43.900 --> 00:35:44.793
and click Add.

703
00:35:46.170 --> 00:35:48.990
Now, when we're entering an image,

704
00:35:48.990 --> 00:35:52.650
it'll ask us for what we call alternative text,

705
00:35:52.650 --> 00:35:55.830
again, this matches with the WCAG and the ADA

706
00:35:55.830 --> 00:35:58.140
as well as the assistive technology,

707
00:35:58.140 --> 00:36:00.840
where we are asked to describe or convey

708
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:03.090
what this image is about.

709
00:36:03.090 --> 00:36:05.190
And that is strictly, not strictly,

710
00:36:05.190 --> 00:36:07.890
but it is available for all users

711
00:36:07.890 --> 00:36:10.230
using assistive technology, screen readers,

712
00:36:10.230 --> 00:36:14.013
or require a larger image to be able to see it.

713
00:36:15.090 --> 00:36:16.680
Now, this also works with students

714
00:36:16.680 --> 00:36:18.600
who may have low internet access

715
00:36:18.600 --> 00:36:21.270
and they may not be able to open the image.

716
00:36:21.270 --> 00:36:22.980
Conveying what the image is

717
00:36:22.980 --> 00:36:25.860
can help them understand what this image pertains to

718
00:36:25.860 --> 00:36:27.963
with their content or course material.

719
00:36:30.120 --> 00:36:33.147
So I may say "science."

720
00:36:34.740 --> 00:36:37.710
Now, if the image is just a decorative image,

721
00:36:37.710 --> 00:36:40.170
you can select "This image is decorative"

722
00:36:40.170 --> 00:36:42.543
and a screen reader will not read that out.

723
00:36:43.740 --> 00:36:48.210
So again, with students in mind,

724
00:36:48.210 --> 00:36:50.880
you could add or convey what this image is

725
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:53.643
and what it pertains to in terms of the content.

726
00:36:56.039 --> 00:37:00.087
Now, another feature here is this Insert Quicklink.

727
00:37:01.230 --> 00:37:05.430
This will allow you to select onto that Insert Quicklink tab

728
00:37:05.430 --> 00:37:07.530
and quickly link something

729
00:37:07.530 --> 00:37:10.863
from outside of this file into this file.

730
00:37:11.790 --> 00:37:14.070
For example, if you're creating a file

731
00:37:14.070 --> 00:37:15.960
that's drawing attention to content

732
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:17.820
that you've built in your course,

733
00:37:17.820 --> 00:37:20.160
you can select Insert Quicklink,

734
00:37:20.160 --> 00:37:22.110
and you can link something

735
00:37:22.110 --> 00:37:25.803
from your course material to this HTML file.

736
00:37:26.970 --> 00:37:29.520
That allows for less clicks for the students

737
00:37:29.520 --> 00:37:31.950
so they don't have to go back to the Content,

738
00:37:31.950 --> 00:37:34.803
or go back to the Quiz tool, or what have you.

739
00:37:38.610 --> 00:37:40.530
Now, Quicklink will also allow you

740
00:37:40.530 --> 00:37:43.770
to link it out to third-party tools.

741
00:37:43.770 --> 00:37:44.970
So for example,

742
00:37:44.970 --> 00:37:48.570
if you have some Cengage content, Gradescope content,

743
00:37:48.570 --> 00:37:53.370
you could quickly link that content to this HTML file,

744
00:37:53.370 --> 00:37:56.403
again, saving the students from extra links.

745
00:37:57.690 --> 00:38:00.273
Or clicks. (chuckles)

746
00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:04.560
The final tab we wanna share with you

747
00:38:04.560 --> 00:38:08.130
in this Brightspace Editor is this Insert Stuff.

748
00:38:08.130 --> 00:38:10.530
Now, again, just to remind you,

749
00:38:10.530 --> 00:38:12.750
Insert Stuff, Quicklink, Image,

750
00:38:12.750 --> 00:38:15.900
all of these HTML Brightspace Editor tools

751
00:38:15.900 --> 00:38:19.140
are available in various activities within the course.

752
00:38:19.140 --> 00:38:21.693
So we do encourage you to test them out.

753
00:38:22.650 --> 00:38:24.870
Other activities will involve and include

754
00:38:24.870 --> 00:38:29.870
Discussions, Quizzes, Assignments, Calendar,

755
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:33.690
a variety of tools that you'll see this Brightspace Editor.

756
00:38:33.690 --> 00:38:36.810
So what we're doing here to some content in a file,

757
00:38:36.810 --> 00:38:39.753
you will have the availability to do in other areas.

758
00:38:41.970 --> 00:38:44.070
Now, with that being said,

759
00:38:44.070 --> 00:38:48.213
I can click this final power button called Insert Stuff.

760
00:38:49.380 --> 00:38:52.620
Insert Stuff is very technical term, I know,

761
00:38:52.620 --> 00:38:54.690
but it's doing exactly that.

762
00:38:54.690 --> 00:38:57.903
It's allowing me to insert stuff into this file.

763
00:38:59.100 --> 00:39:02.853
Again, I can drag from a number of different places.

764
00:39:03.810 --> 00:39:07.743
I can add a video here, insert a link or an embed code.

765
00:39:09.180 --> 00:39:12.480
I can also record up to a 30-minute video

766
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:17.100
from my webcam on my computer directly into this file.

767
00:39:17.100 --> 00:39:19.590
This will allow you to personalize a lecture

768
00:39:19.590 --> 00:39:21.330
or personalize the message

769
00:39:21.330 --> 00:39:23.630
that you're conveying within your course file.

770
00:39:24.510 --> 00:39:27.033
So when I click on Add Video Note,

771
00:39:28.140 --> 00:39:30.993
it's going to start to find my webcam.

772
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:34.200
When you click New Recording,

773
00:39:34.200 --> 00:39:35.940
you'll have up to 30 minutes of time

774
00:39:35.940 --> 00:39:38.550
to record a personalized video or lecture

775
00:39:38.550 --> 00:39:40.173
directly in your content.

776
00:39:41.160 --> 00:39:42.720
Welcome to Module 1.

777
00:39:42.720 --> 00:39:44.170
We are very glad you're here.

778
00:39:47.910 --> 00:39:51.150
As it renders, we're gonna click Next.

779
00:39:51.150 --> 00:39:54.720
And for this video, I want to give it a title.

780
00:39:54.720 --> 00:39:57.540
Now, there's a couple of purposes for this.

781
00:39:57.540 --> 00:40:02.460
When we give it a title, we wanna be very specific

782
00:40:02.460 --> 00:40:05.580
because this video will now be saved

783
00:40:05.580 --> 00:40:07.683
behind the scenes in my course.

784
00:40:08.580 --> 00:40:12.180
It then comes to what we call the Media Library.

785
00:40:12.180 --> 00:40:15.630
So I can save this video and use it again and again

786
00:40:15.630 --> 00:40:19.140
or copy it from one course in Brightspace to another.

787
00:40:19.140 --> 00:40:21.450
So I can use it for another module introduction

788
00:40:21.450 --> 00:40:23.073
in another course later on.

789
00:40:24.120 --> 00:40:26.040
The title is important because you want it

790
00:40:26.040 --> 00:40:28.470
to be able to be searchable for yourself

791
00:40:28.470 --> 00:40:29.703
and be able to find it.

792
00:40:31.897 --> 00:40:34.200
Now, again, coming back to assistive technology,

793
00:40:34.200 --> 00:40:36.900
the description is also very important

794
00:40:36.900 --> 00:40:39.660
because a student may not have bandwidth

795
00:40:39.660 --> 00:40:41.550
to open up the video.

796
00:40:41.550 --> 00:40:43.200
They may need a description

797
00:40:43.200 --> 00:40:47.463
to describe what this video conveys or is pertaining to.

798
00:40:49.283 --> 00:40:50.610
It's also going to be,

799
00:40:50.610 --> 00:40:52.380
if you have a screen reader available

800
00:40:52.380 --> 00:40:54.930
or students have screen-reading technologies,

801
00:40:54.930 --> 00:40:57.723
read out the description of what this video is about.

802
00:40:59.100 --> 00:41:01.093
So I may say, "Instructor..."

803
00:41:12.990 --> 00:41:15.183
Now, I've added a description.

804
00:41:16.080 --> 00:41:19.200
I can now decide and add closed captioning

805
00:41:19.200 --> 00:41:21.183
for this video that I've just created.

806
00:41:23.070 --> 00:41:27.510
When I select this dropdown beside Audio Language,

807
00:41:27.510 --> 00:41:29.340
I can choose the type of language

808
00:41:29.340 --> 00:41:32.193
I would like the closed captioning to be portrayed in,

809
00:41:33.240 --> 00:41:34.177
and then select

810
00:41:34.177 --> 00:41:37.497
"Automatically generate closed captions for this audio."

811
00:41:38.700 --> 00:41:41.070
Students will be able to open up this video,

812
00:41:41.070 --> 00:41:42.600
and they have their own settings

813
00:41:42.600 --> 00:41:45.090
to turn on or off closed captioning.

814
00:41:45.090 --> 00:41:47.730
By default, captioning will always be displayed

815
00:41:47.730 --> 00:41:48.980
when they play the video.

816
00:41:50.220 --> 00:41:52.350
When I'm ready, I'm gonna click Next.

817
00:41:52.350 --> 00:41:53.580
And it's just gonna take a minute

818
00:41:53.580 --> 00:41:55.503
to render inside of my editor.

819
00:41:56.790 --> 00:41:58.800
So I'm gonna click Insert,

820
00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:00.903
and it will let me know when it is ready.

821
00:42:03.930 --> 00:42:06.420
I'm gonna Save and Close for now and just share with you

822
00:42:06.420 --> 00:42:08.643
what we've created with this HTML file.

823
00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:12.903
So here, if I go back to Module 1,

824
00:42:13.950 --> 00:42:17.070
we were successfully able to build Module 1

825
00:42:17.070 --> 00:42:18.600
where we put some Word documents,

826
00:42:18.600 --> 00:42:20.880
PowerPoint presentations, videos.

827
00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:24.210
And now I'm gonna come to this web page.

828
00:42:24.210 --> 00:42:25.590
It tells me it's a web page

829
00:42:25.590 --> 00:42:28.683
because we're using an HTML file creator.

830
00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:31.980
So again, at any time,

831
00:42:31.980 --> 00:42:36.150
I can select the dropdown beside the actual topic,

832
00:42:36.150 --> 00:42:40.410
I can view the topic, hide it from users, and I can edit.

833
00:42:40.410 --> 00:42:42.210
So I can click Edit HTML

834
00:42:42.210 --> 00:42:45.783
to make any changes I need for this particular webpage.

835
00:42:47.310 --> 00:42:51.600
I can also Move Up and Down, Move To, Change File,

836
00:42:51.600 --> 00:42:52.833
and of course Delete.

837
00:42:54.930 --> 00:42:56.010
But I'm gonna click into it

838
00:42:56.010 --> 00:42:58.500
to share with you what it looks like.

839
00:42:58.500 --> 00:43:00.660
So we have our title.

840
00:43:00.660 --> 00:43:03.870
We have our HTML copy-and-pasted material,

841
00:43:03.870 --> 00:43:07.383
an image, and we have our audio message.

842
00:43:09.930 --> 00:43:11.970
As mentioned, when students open this app,

843
00:43:11.970 --> 00:43:14.130
they can click Play, adjust the sound,

844
00:43:14.130 --> 00:43:16.020
and adjust the settings.

845
00:43:16.020 --> 00:43:19.950
They can download, turn close captioning on or off,

846
00:43:19.950 --> 00:43:22.953
or slow the speed down, or speed the speed up.

847
00:43:24.450 --> 00:43:26.943
At any time I can click Edit HTML,

848
00:43:29.940 --> 00:43:32.110
and I can make any adjustments I would like

849
00:43:34.170 --> 00:43:35.583
in my HTML editor.

850
00:43:39.150 --> 00:43:41.730
If I've made a change inside of this file

851
00:43:41.730 --> 00:43:44.850
and I've decided, "Oh, I didn't want to delete that,"

852
00:43:44.850 --> 00:43:48.270
I always have this undo button,

853
00:43:48.270 --> 00:43:51.033
which will bring the change that I just made back.

854
00:43:51.990 --> 00:43:54.030
If I were to save and close and come back,

855
00:43:54.030 --> 00:43:55.230
this would be gone.

856
00:43:55.230 --> 00:43:57.390
I would have to come back to Insert Stuff

857
00:43:57.390 --> 00:44:01.470
and find the video in my Video Note Search.

858
00:44:01.470 --> 00:44:04.500
So again, as we talked about,

859
00:44:04.500 --> 00:44:06.270
the title is very important for the video

860
00:44:06.270 --> 00:44:07.833
so you can search it again.

861
00:44:12.300 --> 00:44:13.260
And you would be able to add

862
00:44:13.260 --> 00:44:15.183
any of those videos you've created.

863
00:44:23.250 --> 00:44:25.170
Now, we're not quite done yet.

864
00:44:25.170 --> 00:44:26.733
There is another feature.

865
00:44:28.170 --> 00:44:31.293
So I'm gonna go back to my breadcrumbs and click Module 1.

866
00:44:33.540 --> 00:44:35.430
Now, again, at any time,

867
00:44:35.430 --> 00:44:39.483
you could add Release Conditions or dates to the documents.

868
00:44:41.580 --> 00:44:43.950
And to do that, you could click the dropdown,

869
00:44:43.950 --> 00:44:47.613
just as we saw, and click Edit Properties in Place.

870
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:50.970
When editing properties in place,

871
00:44:50.970 --> 00:44:53.730
you can click into the "Add dates and restrictions"

872
00:44:53.730 --> 00:44:55.590
of an individual item or topic.

873
00:44:55.590 --> 00:44:57.440
And again, you can add a description.

874
00:45:02.340 --> 00:45:06.270
So to share with you those Release Conditions again,

875
00:45:06.270 --> 00:45:09.180
I'm gonna come down to this "Cell Structure" video,

876
00:45:09.180 --> 00:45:11.853
and I'm going to actually Edit Properties in Place.

877
00:45:13.350 --> 00:45:15.060
Here, I may decide

878
00:45:15.060 --> 00:45:17.340
that I could change the dates and restrictions

879
00:45:17.340 --> 00:45:21.300
for this particular item or topic within my module

880
00:45:21.300 --> 00:45:24.750
by selecting "Add dates and restrictions."

881
00:45:24.750 --> 00:45:26.040
From here, I may say

882
00:45:26.040 --> 00:45:29.820
that they cannot view the "Cell Structure" video

883
00:45:29.820 --> 00:45:33.273
until a specific Start Date, Due Date, or End Date.

884
00:45:34.770 --> 00:45:37.050
I could also add a Release Condition.

885
00:45:37.050 --> 00:45:39.270
So for example, if I click Create

886
00:45:39.270 --> 00:45:41.910
now that I have things in my module,

887
00:45:41.910 --> 00:45:45.870
I can choose what criteria or condition type

888
00:45:45.870 --> 00:45:47.670
I want the student to achieve

889
00:45:47.670 --> 00:45:49.503
before they can see this video.

890
00:45:50.490 --> 00:45:52.620
So for example, I could come down,

891
00:45:52.620 --> 00:45:56.340
and I can say I want them to visit a specific topic

892
00:45:56.340 --> 00:45:58.803
before this video will be displayed to them.

893
00:45:59.640 --> 00:46:02.130
So when I select "Visit content topic,"

894
00:46:02.130 --> 00:46:03.930
I could now say I would like them

895
00:46:03.930 --> 00:46:07.170
to see the "Glossary of Terms" first

896
00:46:07.170 --> 00:46:09.963
before this video will be displayed to them.

897
00:46:12.570 --> 00:46:17.040
So you have a ton of options in how material is displayed,

898
00:46:17.040 --> 00:46:20.610
whether it's by dates or whether it's by Release Conditions.

899
00:46:20.610 --> 00:46:23.310
Or again, we see this eye here.

900
00:46:23.310 --> 00:46:25.560
You can make it hidden or visible as well

901
00:46:25.560 --> 00:46:27.903
and come back and adjust as needed.

902
00:46:29.190 --> 00:46:32.670
Some of our courses don't require any sort of conditions

903
00:46:32.670 --> 00:46:36.120
such as dates, Release Conditions, or hidden topics.

904
00:46:36.120 --> 00:46:38.340
But some of them, you could really build

905
00:46:38.340 --> 00:46:40.560
how the student progresses through the course

906
00:46:40.560 --> 00:46:42.033
using these features.

907
00:46:47.550 --> 00:46:49.080
Once you click Save and Close,

908
00:46:49.080 --> 00:46:52.143
it will now save to that particular topic.

909
00:46:54.240 --> 00:46:56.640
It will also be displayed to you, the instructor,

910
00:46:56.640 --> 00:46:58.530
to show you that the "Cell Structure"

911
00:46:58.530 --> 00:47:01.173
starts September 20th at 9:00 a.m.

912
00:47:03.270 --> 00:47:04.500
It does also show you

913
00:47:04.500 --> 00:47:06.600
if you have Release Conditions attached to it

914
00:47:06.600 --> 00:47:08.580
so that you will have the understanding

915
00:47:08.580 --> 00:47:11.073
of what's going on with that particular topic.

916
00:47:16.950 --> 00:47:20.430
Now, another thing that we could share with you

917
00:47:20.430 --> 00:47:22.713
is the HTML templates.

918
00:47:23.850 --> 00:47:27.750
So I'm going to go back to this Upload and Create,

919
00:47:27.750 --> 00:47:29.733
and I'm gonna go back to Create a File.

920
00:47:31.530 --> 00:47:33.270
We have templates already built

921
00:47:33.270 --> 00:47:35.100
inside of your Brightspace environment

922
00:47:35.100 --> 00:47:39.660
that you could utilize if you so desire, such as a template.

923
00:47:39.660 --> 00:47:43.323
So for this one, I may put "Module Introduction" again,

924
00:47:48.337 --> 00:47:49.827
"More Information."

925
00:47:52.410 --> 00:47:53.640
So here's the title.

926
00:47:53.640 --> 00:47:57.033
You'll notice that I'm back in my HTML file creation.

927
00:47:57.900 --> 00:48:00.930
This time, instead of utilizing my Brightspace Editor,

928
00:48:00.930 --> 00:48:03.480
I'm going to select a Document Template

929
00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:05.013
by clicking this dropdown.

930
00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:09.300
This dropdown reveals 10 templates

931
00:48:09.300 --> 00:48:12.393
that I could utilize to build content within my course.

932
00:48:14.310 --> 00:48:15.143
For example,

933
00:48:15.143 --> 00:48:17.853
I'm going to select Module Introduction template.

934
00:48:19.260 --> 00:48:21.720
When I do, a template loads for me

935
00:48:21.720 --> 00:48:24.333
to be able to customize in my file.

936
00:48:25.560 --> 00:48:29.790
Each template has a different view and a different purpose.

937
00:48:29.790 --> 00:48:32.760
However, each template is also customizable

938
00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:35.493
to suit the need or topic matter within your module.

939
00:48:37.890 --> 00:48:40.533
So I can change the title of this template.

940
00:48:43.200 --> 00:48:45.060
Each template also describes

941
00:48:45.060 --> 00:48:48.273
how best you could use this template if you so choose to.

942
00:48:49.230 --> 00:48:52.803
We do recommend, of course, removing that detail.

943
00:48:54.090 --> 00:48:55.800
And in this Module Introduction,

944
00:48:55.800 --> 00:48:57.300
you'll note that there is a template

945
00:48:57.300 --> 00:48:58.380
for Learning Objectives.

946
00:48:58.380 --> 00:49:01.803
So you just come in and adjust the objectives as needed.

947
00:49:02.640 --> 00:49:03.990
But you may also notice

948
00:49:03.990 --> 00:49:07.857
that you can add an image, insert a Quicklink.

949
00:49:11.880 --> 00:49:13.950
You can also Insert Stuff.

950
00:49:13.950 --> 00:49:15.960
So if you wanted to use the template,

951
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:18.183
you could still add a Video Note.

952
00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:21.180
Add Media Library.

953
00:49:21.180 --> 00:49:22.530
Add a YouTube.

954
00:49:22.530 --> 00:49:24.813
Add a document or a link from your computer.

955
00:49:27.090 --> 00:49:29.313
When you're ready, again, Save and Close.

956
00:49:31.432 --> 00:49:33.782
And this is how it might appear to the student.

957
00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:38.670
At any time, again, you could edit the HTML.

958
00:49:38.670 --> 00:49:41.313
And everything looks fabulous.

959
00:49:45.660 --> 00:49:49.500
So we've shown you several different ways to add things.

960
00:49:49.500 --> 00:49:50.613
There are more.

961
00:49:51.570 --> 00:49:53.220
We can create a link,

962
00:49:53.220 --> 00:49:55.230
which is very similar to adding

963
00:49:55.230 --> 00:49:58.710
or uploading something in the Video or Audio.

964
00:49:58.710 --> 00:50:01.800
But in this format, you're creating a link

965
00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:03.663
for students to link into.

966
00:50:04.740 --> 00:50:07.080
I wanted to note that when you add a link,

967
00:50:07.080 --> 00:50:10.650
you would give it a title, copy and paste your URL.

968
00:50:10.650 --> 00:50:14.910
But there is this option to Open as an External Resource.

969
00:50:14.910 --> 00:50:17.880
What this means is students will see the title

970
00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:20.760
and be able to click into a separate doorway

971
00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:22.083
to get to this link.

972
00:50:24.240 --> 00:50:25.073
The reason for that

973
00:50:25.073 --> 00:50:28.353
is just a security feature for Brightspace.

974
00:50:30.570 --> 00:50:34.530
But again, it is an extra click, just for your knowledge.

975
00:50:34.530 --> 00:50:36.963
So if I copy and paste a URL,

976
00:50:44.610 --> 00:50:49.610
give it a title, and click Create.

977
00:50:49.710 --> 00:50:51.570
If I leave this checked on,

978
00:50:51.570 --> 00:50:54.240
students will have to click an extra button

979
00:50:54.240 --> 00:50:56.190
to get to this link.

980
00:50:56.190 --> 00:50:57.633
It'll open in a new window.

981
00:50:58.650 --> 00:50:59.760
Now, that may be something

982
00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:01.260
that is useful for your students

983
00:51:01.260 --> 00:51:03.030
to be able to open in a different window

984
00:51:03.030 --> 00:51:04.230
so that they can migrate

985
00:51:04.230 --> 00:51:06.930
back to the content they're referring to.

986
00:51:06.930 --> 00:51:08.880
But it is an extra link.

987
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:11.073
So when I click back into this URL,

988
00:51:11.940 --> 00:51:13.713
it's going to open in a new window.

989
00:51:21.120 --> 00:51:23.610
Now, we've been through quite a lot of topics.

990
00:51:23.610 --> 00:51:26.040
We've shared a lot of different components.

991
00:51:26.040 --> 00:51:27.060
We're not quite done.

992
00:51:27.060 --> 00:51:30.030
Again, there are other ways to add material.

993
00:51:30.030 --> 00:51:34.050
You can add a SCORM or API,

994
00:51:34.050 --> 00:51:36.090
create assignments and checklists.

995
00:51:36.090 --> 00:51:38.670
And as we progress through more training sessions,

996
00:51:38.670 --> 00:51:42.210
we will go into more depth about how to do this.

997
00:51:42.210 --> 00:51:46.170
But in terms of the essential content building,

998
00:51:46.170 --> 00:51:49.020
using Upload and Create is a very useful source

999
00:51:49.020 --> 00:51:51.970
for you to upload and create a variety of different things.

1000
00:51:52.950 --> 00:51:55.590
Existing Activities allows you to add things

1001
00:51:55.590 --> 00:51:58.860
that already exist into your course.

1002
00:51:58.860 --> 00:52:03.540
So if you've created an assignment in your Assignments tool,

1003
00:52:03.540 --> 00:52:05.790
you can add it to your content.

1004
00:52:05.790 --> 00:52:07.140
You can go to a third party

1005
00:52:07.140 --> 00:52:09.333
and add something that's already existing.

1006
00:52:10.740 --> 00:52:13.683
So many different ways to add existing material.

1007
00:52:14.730 --> 00:52:16.983
You can also select Bulk Edit.

1008
00:52:17.820 --> 00:52:19.770
Once selected, you have all

1009
00:52:19.770 --> 00:52:24.660
of the topics, modules, and items listed in this search.

1010
00:52:24.660 --> 00:52:28.170
And at this point, you can edit any one of the items

1011
00:52:28.170 --> 00:52:29.523
within the course material.

1012
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:32.490
You can delete, make hidden.

1013
00:52:32.490 --> 00:52:34.830
You can change dates and restrictions,

1014
00:52:34.830 --> 00:52:37.233
add descriptions in your Bulk Edit.

1015
00:52:39.870 --> 00:52:41.820
The final tool I wanted to share with you

1016
00:52:41.820 --> 00:52:45.603
is to look and see what's already in your course material.

1017
00:52:46.470 --> 00:52:48.573
For this, we're gonna go to Course Admin.

1018
00:52:50.040 --> 00:52:53.283
And Course Admin is the behind-the-scenes of your course.

1019
00:52:54.360 --> 00:52:58.290
Now, from here, once you've added some topics,

1020
00:52:58.290 --> 00:53:01.683
I would recommend going to this tab called Manage Dates.

1021
00:53:02.910 --> 00:53:05.370
Manage Dates allows you to see

1022
00:53:05.370 --> 00:53:09.300
all of the components within the course material.

1023
00:53:09.300 --> 00:53:11.430
So whether you're starting your course from scratch,

1024
00:53:11.430 --> 00:53:12.960
or you have migrated material

1025
00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:15.060
that have been added to your course,

1026
00:53:15.060 --> 00:53:17.070
Manage Dates allows you to see

1027
00:53:17.070 --> 00:53:19.710
all of the different components, tools, items,

1028
00:53:19.710 --> 00:53:21.450
and topics within your course.

1029
00:53:21.450 --> 00:53:22.980
It also allows you to check

1030
00:53:22.980 --> 00:53:26.250
on Due Dates, Start Dates, and End Dates,

1031
00:53:26.250 --> 00:53:29.940
will this topic or activity appear in the Calendar,

1032
00:53:29.940 --> 00:53:32.793
and its visibility status.

1033
00:53:33.900 --> 00:53:37.830
Meaning, have you put in place a Release Condition?

1034
00:53:37.830 --> 00:53:40.143
Or made it hidden versus visible?

1035
00:53:41.370 --> 00:53:44.880
So the Manage Files feature just allows you to do a check

1036
00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:48.420
and see how are my topics coming together,

1037
00:53:48.420 --> 00:53:49.830
what are my dates,

1038
00:53:49.830 --> 00:53:51.510
do I need to add or adjust dates,

1039
00:53:51.510 --> 00:53:54.213
or visibility status, or Release Conditions.

1040
00:53:56.550 --> 00:53:58.740
If you need to bulk edit the dates,

1041
00:53:58.740 --> 00:54:02.463
you can simply select all things and click Bulk Edit Dates.

1042
00:54:03.300 --> 00:54:05.400
If you want to look at just content,

1043
00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:07.980
you can select specific tools

1044
00:54:07.980 --> 00:54:09.360
and just view the content

1045
00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:11.643
that you have available in your course.

1046
00:54:14.610 --> 00:54:16.770
So this just gives you a visualization

1047
00:54:16.770 --> 00:54:20.430
of what's already been added, what you've built,

1048
00:54:20.430 --> 00:54:22.230
what you may need to adjust or change

1049
00:54:22.230 --> 00:54:24.093
in terms of dates and conditions.

1050
00:54:27.270 --> 00:54:30.093
So we have about four minutes left.

1051
00:54:32.160 --> 00:54:34.470
Through a lot of different topics today,

1052
00:54:34.470 --> 00:54:37.203
but I just wanna open it up to questions or to chat.

1053
00:54:38.610 --> 00:54:40.383
<v Wendy>Jackie, this is Wendy.</v>

1054
00:54:41.490 --> 00:54:42.780
Jennifer asks a question.

1055
00:54:42.780 --> 00:54:43.980
I'm just gonna read it out loud,

1056
00:54:43.980 --> 00:54:45.960
and maybe she can elaborate later.

1057
00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:48.037
She says, "I'm confused about the Course Schedule.

1058
00:54:48.037 --> 00:54:50.677
"Do we enter dates and things there,

1059
00:54:50.677 --> 00:54:52.747
"or does it automatically populate

1060
00:54:52.747 --> 00:54:55.230
"based on the content we add?"

1061
00:54:55.230 --> 00:54:57.723
And then she adds, "Is Calendar here,

1062
00:54:58.597 --> 00:55:01.590
"Course Schedule on the homepage?"

1063
00:55:01.590 --> 00:55:03.990
<v Jackie>Jennifer, great question.</v>

1064
00:55:03.990 --> 00:55:07.200
So the Course Schedule is not something that you could edit.

1065
00:55:07.200 --> 00:55:09.360
As you're building your dates

1066
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:13.290
and your components within your content,

1067
00:55:13.290 --> 00:55:16.353
it automatically uploads to the Course Schedule.

1068
00:55:17.220 --> 00:55:20.340
So if you're building content with dates,

1069
00:55:20.340 --> 00:55:22.650
you don't have to worry about adjusting the Course Schedule.

1070
00:55:22.650 --> 00:55:25.740
It automatically goes to the Course Schedule.

1071
00:55:25.740 --> 00:55:29.370
In terms of the Calendar, the Calendar is a widget

1072
00:55:29.370 --> 00:55:33.393
that you will see on the main homepage of your course.

1073
00:55:34.230 --> 00:55:37.860
Again, as you're adding components, as you're adding things,

1074
00:55:37.860 --> 00:55:40.353
it will automatically add to the Calendar.

1075
00:55:41.250 --> 00:55:43.020
If you're not using dates,

1076
00:55:43.020 --> 00:55:45.930
it will not automatically add to the Calendar.

1077
00:55:45.930 --> 00:55:47.730
So you would come into the Calendar,

1078
00:55:47.730 --> 00:55:50.613
go to the Calendar tool, and you could add an event.

1079
00:55:52.020 --> 00:55:55.860
But if you're giving dates to any content or any tools,

1080
00:55:55.860 --> 00:55:58.800
it will automatically upload to the Course Schedule,

1081
00:55:58.800 --> 00:56:02.523
and you could make it customizable in the Calendar tool.

1082
00:56:03.630 --> 00:56:06.510
So hopefully that answers your question.

1083
00:56:06.510 --> 00:56:10.353
Or doesn't further confuse. (chuckles)

1084
00:56:12.270 --> 00:56:13.420
<v Jennifer>Thank you.</v>

1085
00:56:16.950 --> 00:56:18.090
<v Wendy>If anyone has questions,</v>

1086
00:56:18.090 --> 00:56:19.710
please feel free to speak them.

1087
00:56:19.710 --> 00:56:20.730
You don't necessarily have...

1088
00:56:20.730 --> 00:56:22.380
We're a small group.

1089
00:56:22.380 --> 00:56:24.183
You don't to put in the chat.

1090
00:56:27.210 --> 00:56:29.610
I had one, but I don't wanna...

1091
00:56:29.610 --> 00:56:31.080
I have one if no one else does.

1092
00:56:31.080 --> 00:56:34.740
I just wanted Jackie to demonstrate changing out a course,

1093
00:56:34.740 --> 00:56:36.720
the banner image on the HTML template.

1094
00:56:36.720 --> 00:56:38.250
But we can hold off on that

1095
00:56:38.250 --> 00:56:40.323
if other folks have pressing questions.

1096
00:56:44.730 --> 00:56:46.110
I have this fear that students

1097
00:56:46.110 --> 00:56:47.850
are just gonna be seeing these images,

1098
00:56:47.850 --> 00:56:50.160
like, in every single course. (chuckling)

1099
00:56:50.160 --> 00:56:53.790
So I know you've shown how to insert an image

1100
00:56:53.790 --> 00:56:55.530
into that text itself,

1101
00:56:55.530 --> 00:56:58.410
but maybe just show how to change out that banner?

1102
00:56:58.410 --> 00:56:59.850
<v Jackie>Yeah, absolutely.</v>

1103
00:56:59.850 --> 00:57:04.110
And again, to Wendy's point, it is completely customizable.

1104
00:57:04.110 --> 00:57:07.290
So I'm gonna come to this "Module Introduction More Info"

1105
00:57:07.290 --> 00:57:09.900
where I built that HTML template.

1106
00:57:09.900 --> 00:57:13.080
I'm gonna come to the bottom and click Edit HTML template.

1107
00:57:13.080 --> 00:57:15.750
Again, you can do the same by clicking the dropdown

1108
00:57:15.750 --> 00:57:17.313
and click Edit HTML.

1109
00:57:18.150 --> 00:57:20.070
When you're building the HTML or after,

1110
00:57:20.070 --> 00:57:23.040
if you decide, "I'm gonna change this image,"

1111
00:57:23.040 --> 00:57:24.270
when you're in Edit mode,

1112
00:57:24.270 --> 00:57:26.490
you would simply click on the image itself.

1113
00:57:26.490 --> 00:57:29.910
And it does allow you to choose image options.

1114
00:57:29.910 --> 00:57:31.980
So if I click on Image options,

1115
00:57:31.980 --> 00:57:36.980
I can add a different banner, link, or source here.

1116
00:57:37.530 --> 00:57:40.920
And when I'm ready, I could just click Save.

1117
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:45.060
So you would need the source or URL for that banner image.

1118
00:57:45.060 --> 00:57:46.860
And then you could just add it here.

1119
00:57:48.630 --> 00:57:52.590
I don't have any, I don't believe, available using the URL,

1120
00:57:55.890 --> 00:57:57.210
but that's how you would do it.

1121
00:57:57.210 --> 00:58:00.393
And then it would save into this area here.

1122
00:58:01.620 --> 00:58:04.980
You can adjust the banner, crop it, whatever you so choose.

1123
00:58:04.980 --> 00:58:06.990
So if your banner image is not as wide

1124
00:58:06.990 --> 00:58:08.340
or doesn't have the same pixels,

1125
00:58:08.340 --> 00:58:10.740
you do have the availability to edit the banner.

1126
00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:15.030
Now, you can go to Upload and Create.

1127
00:58:15.030 --> 00:58:18.633
Again, drag and drop an image here if you want to.

1128
00:58:19.740 --> 00:58:21.983
But that's how you would change out the banner.

1129
00:58:25.620 --> 00:58:26.620
<v Wendy>Thank you.</v>

1130
00:58:28.050 --> 00:58:29.340
We are right at 10 o'clock,

1131
00:58:29.340 --> 00:58:31.140
but maybe we could just take one more question

1132
00:58:31.140 --> 00:58:33.120
if someone has a burning question

1133
00:58:33.120 --> 00:58:35.620
that they would like to address before we adjourn.

1134
00:58:49.290 --> 00:58:50.123
Okay.

1135
00:58:50.123 --> 00:58:54.180
Well, thank you all so much for joining us this morning.

1136
00:58:54.180 --> 00:58:58.530
Jackie, as always, thank you for an informative session.

1137
00:58:58.530 --> 00:59:00.540
As we mentioned, this is being recorded.

1138
00:59:00.540 --> 00:59:04.083
And we'll let you all know when is available for viewing.

1139
00:59:05.010 --> 00:59:09.810
And we will be hosting follow-up sessions on content.

1140
00:59:09.810 --> 00:59:12.120
And, of course, we will also be sending you all out

1141
00:59:12.120 --> 00:59:14.793
information about the course migration process.

1142
00:59:15.690 --> 00:59:17.493
So thank you very much.

1143
00:59:33.960 --> 00:59:36.000
Thank you, Jackie. I appreciate it.

1144
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:38.730
<v Wendy>Thank you, Wendy. I'm glad you were here.</v>

1145
00:59:38.730 --> 00:59:40.830
<v ->Yeah. I had one, do you mind?</v>

1146
00:59:40.830 --> 00:59:43.560
I didn't wanna go down this rabbit hole during the webinar.

1147
00:59:43.560 --> 00:59:45.420
But do you have, like, five minutes?

1148
00:59:45.420 --> 00:59:47.970
I have a something that needs clarifying.

1149
00:59:47.970 --> 00:59:48.803
<v ->Yeah.</v>

1150
00:59:48.803 --> 00:59:50.190
<v ->It's about the download content.</v>

1151
00:59:50.190 --> 00:59:52.830
And I think we've talked about this other times.

1152
00:59:52.830 --> 00:59:56.610
But this feels like it's a stickler for some faculty,

1153
00:59:56.610 --> 00:59:59.373
that pervasiveness of the Download button.

1154
01:00:00.360 --> 01:00:01.800
<v ->Oh, for the student.</v>

1155
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:02.850
<v ->For the students.</v>

1156
01:00:02.850 --> 01:00:04.860
That's an all-or-nothing setting, is that right?

1157
01:00:04.860 --> 01:00:07.800
Like, either we shut that off at the system level

1158
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:11.190
and then download anything

1159
01:00:11.190 --> 01:00:14.850
is not available anywhere in the system.

1160
01:00:14.850 --> 01:00:18.030
Like, you can't turn off the download content on Video Note

1161
01:00:18.030 --> 01:00:23.030
and leave it open in the rest of the content area.

1162
01:00:23.400 --> 01:00:24.270
Is that right?

1163
01:00:24.270 --> 01:00:25.950
<v ->That is correct. I believe so.</v>

1164
01:00:25.950 --> 01:00:29.040
And that's at the configuration level.

1165
01:00:29.040 --> 01:00:30.000
<v ->Yeah.</v>

1166
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:31.050
<v ->Yeah.</v>

1167
01:00:31.050 --> 01:00:32.190
<v ->Okay.</v>

1168
01:00:32.190 --> 01:00:34.200
So that's a cost.

1169
01:00:34.200 --> 01:00:35.850
It's such a benefit for students.

1170
01:00:37.410 --> 01:00:38.243
<v ->Yeah.</v>

1171
01:00:39.810 --> 01:00:42.363
<v ->Folks get concerned about intellectual property.</v>

1172
01:00:44.580 --> 01:00:48.180
<v ->If you're using the LOR, the Learning Object Repository,</v>

1173
01:00:48.180 --> 01:00:50.880
you can have different settings for documents

1174
01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:54.210
that come from the LOR versus inside of a course.

1175
01:00:54.210 --> 01:00:57.360
So it does provide you with a little bit more flexibility.

1176
01:00:57.360 --> 01:00:59.940
Meaning you can lock it or not lock it.

1177
01:00:59.940 --> 01:01:01.770
You can share it or not share it.

1178
01:01:01.770 --> 01:01:05.700
But otherwise, I think it's content-wide.

1179
01:01:05.700 --> 01:01:07.290
<v ->Okay, great.</v>
<v ->Yeah.</v>

1180
01:01:07.290 --> 01:01:08.311
<v ->All right.</v>

1181
01:01:08.311 --> 01:01:09.144
Well, thank you for that clarification.

1182
01:01:09.144 --> 01:01:09.977
I appreciate it.

1183
01:01:09.977 --> 01:01:11.130
<v ->Yeah.</v>

1184
01:01:11.130 --> 01:01:13.670
<v ->And we'll see ya later this weekend.</v>

1185
01:01:13.670 --> 01:01:15.650
You've received the meeting invites

1186
01:01:15.650 --> 01:01:18.690
for quizzes and assignments?

1187
01:01:18.690 --> 01:01:20.250
<v ->Yes, I got the link in your email,</v>

1188
01:01:20.250 --> 01:01:22.500
so they'll work just as fine.

1189
01:01:22.500 --> 01:01:23.730
<v ->Okay, cool.</v>
<v ->Yeah.</v>

1190
01:01:23.730 --> 01:01:24.563
<v ->All right.</v>
<v ->All right.</v>

1191
01:01:24.563 --> 01:01:25.396
<v ->Thanks again.</v>

1192
01:01:25.396 --> 01:01:26.490
<v ->Thank you.</v>
<v ->Thank you.</v>

1193
01:01:26.490 --> 01:01:28.560
<v ->Thanks, Justin. Have a great day.</v>

1194
01:01:28.560 --> 01:01:29.819
<v ->You too. Bye.</v>

1195
01:01:29.819 --> 01:01:30.652
<v ->Bye.</v>
