This roadmap has been developed to ensure faculty feel supported and informed as they head into their semester and beyond. This roadmap is broken down by alignment categories to help those identify the tools they need to ensure teaching success as faculty plan for their course, teach their course, and wrap up their course.
Workshops are available in Compass. On-demand training courses are available any time. We also offer synchronous, asynchronous, and in-person training. The list of trainings can be found on the Faculty Development Calendar.
Course Set-Up
Use the resources below to help with course set-up:
Sandbox course sites are available to all faculty members and are a recommended method for building a course. Entire courses can be built in a sandbox and then copied into a live course once the CRN becomes available. These sites offer the same tools and functionality as a CRN-based course site. Since there are no students in these site(s) tools and delivery methods can be tested without the worry of impeding student learning. Additionally, these sites will remain available to faculty as long as they remain with Tri-C.
Brightspace CRN sites will populate under the current semester in Brightspace as assignments are made in Banner.
Course Combines:
Lecture/lab linked CRN courses are available to be merged into a single course site. Other sites may be linked, as long as start/end dates are the same, but may need to be reviewed first. It is also possible to merge CRNs with other instructors (co-teach) with the same requirements as above. To have your CRNs merged into a single site, please email helpdesk@tri-c.edu and include all relevant information, such as CRNs, S-Numbers, and written consent of all instructors in the event of co-teaching.
Note: It is encouraged to update the syllabus to reflect that the CRNs have been combined and that students may be interacting with students from the other registered CRN.
Course Reassignments: Reassignments can occur due to fluctuations in enrollment, emergency leave or other unforeseen circumstances. Many times, the course reassignment was completed well in advance. Due to this, it is recommended to build courses in a sandbox site and proceed with a course copy once it is confirmed who the instructor is and that the course will run. There are times that a previous instructor may elect to share their content with you that they built before the reassignment, or it may not be appropriate to share the content for various reasons. In these events some course clean-up may need to be completed before or after the reassignment.
Publisher Content: Syncing publisher content to Brightspace is not always done in the same way, faculty should work directly with the publisher representative to ensure proper linking.
