WELCOME BACK!
Let's get this semester started
I hope everyone had an exciting and rejuvenating summer break. I also hope you are ready to jump back in and try some fun new things this year. Below are just a few of the new OAKS features and teaching tools TLT has to offer. Take some time to check them out and think about ways you could integrate them into your classes. By the way, I'm here to help!
I didn't get the chance to meet everyone last semester so I'll be wandering around the halls in the next few weeks to say "Hi". I'm excited to meet everyone.
LET'S GET STARTED WITH OAKS
New Stuff!
OAKS has some new integrations that you all may have missed.
- Virtual Classroom - allows real-time, online communication with your students. You can share your desktop, show a PPT, or draw on a whiteboard. It also allows all participants to share their webcams and talk together. Great for outside guest speakers as well!
- Turnitin - allows you to grade OAKS Assignments fully online and much more quickly using the built-in and customizable Quick Marks. No more downloading papers, marking them in Word, reuploading them, then adding the grade. It's now all done in one place...online!
- TK20 - allows those classes with assessment assignments to have students seamlessly add them to TK20 via OAKS.
- Poll Everywhere - this integration is coming soon!!
Get OAKS Ready for the New Semester
It's hard to remember something you do once every 3-6 months so be sure to use this handy checklist to be sure you're getting everything. It contains everything from adding Content Assistants, to Crosslisting, to adding course material, to pinning your courses to your OAKS Homepage, all in one place.
