CLTD has curated a number of resources which we think you might find useful in transitioning your online courses from Emergency Remote Learning to Better Remote and Blended Learning. We will continue to add to these resources as we find them. We hope you the resources will be of value for improving your students’ learning experiences.
Switching to a new Learning Management System (LMS) can be overwhelming at first especially when time is short and you need to get your course up and running at lightning speed. Click here to access the self-help guide which aims to alleviate some of that pressure by guiding you step by step through all you need to know to get your course fully operational on ulwazi.
Below are resources that are available to host live sessions. Please note although MS Teams is widely recommended as the most popular meeting tools are not zero-rated and should be used effectively and sparingly. We have moved to the HTML5 version of BigBlueButton, and it might now be worthwhile to explore its functionalities for live learning interactions.
Gradescope is an assessment tool that is integrated into Ulwazi, it allows lecturers to grade and provide feedback on handwritten paper-based student work, quizzes and assignments on an online platform. The tool is well suited for grading assessments based on handwritten work, calculations, drawings or chemical structures, cells, circuits, and coding etc. With Gradescope, lecturers and students can upload written assignments to be graded. Lecturers can mark student assessments with annotation tools using text, and pencil comments as feedback using dynamic rubric.
