Effective Pedagogical Practices
- This is the first area students are presented with when they click on your course. We recommend to communicate with them often through the use of this tool, as well as utilize it to post important events, dates, and deadlines.
- We recommend to begin your course with at least one News item, welcoming your class and introducing yourself.
