January 20, 2009

Hello Everyone,

We are getting down to the end - only 2 weeks left until your courses are opened up for the peer advisers. If you finish early please let me know and I will go in and check it and mark it off as being complete.

There is exciting stuff happening at the Globe Education Network! We are looking at two new campuses: Middleton (Madison), WI and Elk River, MN. We anticipate all approvals to be in place by March 2009! All of the students at these campuses will be eligible to take courses online.

As you finish up your developments please remember to take a look at the following items:
  • Spell check EVERYTHING - quizzes, discussion boards, reading assignments, etc. We want to catch those spelling errors and typos before the students do
  • Make sure to include at least one external link in every unit - the external link must open in a new window.
  • You should have at least one assignment in every unit.
  • Upper level courses should have at least one assignment that is threaded through a couple of units. In these upper level courses it is important to connect the content from unit to unit and tie them together in the end.
  • If you would like to work in a research assignment we have a ton of online library resources. Please contact Elaine Settergren at esettergren@msbcollege.edu and she can point you in the right direction.
  • Please be sure to include a course calendar and check that the total points in the course calendar match the total points in the grade center.

Please let me know if you have any concerns about finishing your course by February 2nd.

Have a great week! Enjoy the inauguration and happy belated MLK day!

Amy
