Chunks of content that were previously covered in lecture are shared with students before the relevant sessions through the addition of video content and additional readings made available on the Canvas site in the Media Gallery.
Canvas features like Assignments, Modules, and Quizzes organize and sequence materials and activities, ensuring that students came to class prepared and understand the work they need to complete between classes.
Content that is shared during class is split into 15-minute chunks, with activities in between the presentations.
The grading/assessment strategy for the course now includes assessments that are completed in class as well as a project that student teams complete. Students receive a grade for their individual performance as well as for the team’s performance.
