Are you ready to get started?  Here are a few "getting started" tips:
  • Select your LMS platform - At Louisiana Tech University, we use Moodle as our LMS, but other options for those outside our system include Google Classroom, NEO, and Canvas.  
  • Familiarize yourself with the basics of the LMS such as contacting students, posting content, assignment and feedback options. (see videos 3 - 6 below for Moodle or the Google Classroom page)
  • Don't feel the need to "learn it all" instead pick two assignment and feedback options to learn. (example:  assignment and discussion board)
  • Select a video conferencing tool such as Zoom or Google Handouts Meet.  Louisiana Tech offers Zoom Pro for all University staff.
  • Familiarize yourself with interactive components available in the LMS and video conferencing tool.  These might include polling, discussion forums, video recording, closed captioning, whiteboards, and screen sharing.
  • Learn the basics of the video conferencing software.  Can you create a meeting, invite students, conduct the meeting, and save the recorded video?
