January 14, 2008

Welcome to the GU/MSB Online Curriculum Development Blog Spot! All of my weekly announcements will now take place on this blog and will be archived so that developers can look back at past announcements, up and coming topics in online development, tips and tricks, etc. You can also post feedback and additional thoughts for other developers. This will be a community created for all of us to share online development information


  • The 75% completion date is today. I will be going into all of your courses and providing you with feedback on your development. If you do not feel your course is 75% complete please let me know ASAP.



  • On Friday you all should have received an e-mail about peer advising. You are welcome to sign up to peer advise upon other courses that are being developed. This process begins on February 4th



  • As you all know, we need to add any word documents to Blackboard as HTML files so that it is faster and easier for the students to view the documents. You may have encountered problems in the past when trying to save a word document as an HTML document when the word document contains pictures. Well, I have good news for you! All you need to do is create a .zip file containing the HTML document and all the pictures. Then upload the .zip file into Blackboard, and identify the HTML file as the source. I have e-mailed the How To documents that walk you through step by step how to do this.
