Hi folks, it looks like Scott the Magnificent has already created us a CanvasHacks public classroom to play in, and enrolled us as teachers.

Any thoughts on structure? I have a similar course that is mostly complete that I am preparing for my faculty that I could upload to provide a bit of structure. It is intended for non-coders, and has the following module structure:

• About HTML and the HTML Editor - DO NOT FEAR THE CODE!
• Beginning Users
• Intermediate users
• Advanced users
• Sharing (sharing has a discussion and links to external resoursces

However, I am not a pushy sort, so whatever anybody else wants, I am more than happy to go along with. I can always upload stuff a piece at a time and fit it where I can.

My "lessons" are all one page, and include:

• A brief description
• The code snippet
• Anatomy of the code snippet where I identify those components that are easy to modify by novices like myself
• Instructions for use
• Troubleshooting, and
• Sometimes some obvious variations based on changes to parts of the code (colors, sizes, positions etc. - the minor stuff)

Let me know what your think!

Oh yah, and I also have a hokey Home page, because that's just the kind of guy I am:)

Great idea, Kelley.

I created a course shell in resources.instructure.com.  It looks like well over 60 people have already requested either student or teacher level access.  Those of you with teacher level access, feel free to invite your friends.  Anyone else interested, please comment to that effect.   @kmeeusen ​ and the super helpful  @Ron_Bowman ​ have been great about going in and inviting folks. 

Thanks

Scott

Curious Scott, I did a search and Canvas did not find her. But I did search based on email address, and when I added her this time noted that Canvas found her name - indicating she already has a Resources account, and I had not searched on her name.

Hi  @Ron_Bowman ​ and  @scottdennis ​. I'm a little late to this party, but if it's still available I'd love to learn more from your community. Would you please add tsilvius@qcsd.org if so?

[scottdennis]

Done!

[QC99_tsilvius]

Hi  @scottdennis ​. I stopped in the course this morning to take a look at the modules and dive in, and it looks like someone was busy importing a bunch of medical professional content into the course for some reason. Who knows, but the course looks like this is now a CanvasHacks for medical professionals course.

I've seen this at my institution when there are just too many cooks in the kitchen, alas, and although people try to be helpful, a mess happens instead. A wrong click of a mouse button could import content where it shouldn't be quite easily. I was wondering if this might turn out to be an opportunity to show how to undo a course import. I don't know how to do this from the UI, but I'm hoping there has to be a way to undo last import or something like that somehow perhaps with an API call? Did you get a chance to take a look in it yet and see?

I think I may be doing something wrong... I try to log into resources.instructure.com with my FFT account username/email address and password but it won't let me in. Am I supposed to sign up for a password somewhere?

[kmeeusen]

Dr. Rimmer:

It should ask you to create a Resources.Instructure (different than FFT) account and password when you first try to access the course.

Do you want me to resend the invite?

[drimmer]

Yes, please,  @kmeeusen
