Here is a checklist of items to check when converting a course from our other Git content to a bookdown course.
- Course Overview (index.rmd): Course description, navigation, etc. Check syllabus. Include only info that applies to all sections
- LDRS 591 Communities: Add template, change course #
- Units
- Assessment (if different modalities use the course, keep generic and direct students to Moodle/syllabus)
- References
- Credits
- Heading levels
- Only one
H1
on any page, and it must be in line 1 - other headings start at
H2
- Only one
- Activity Checklist - check formatting
- video links - embed code: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HoRkntoHkIE" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
- any other links should go to a new tab. Add {target="_blank"} immediately after the url like this{target="_blank"}.
- Learning Activities - take out the number (e.g. Activity 1.2)
- Check that items have {-} that you do not want numbered
- Icons: remove fa:question, etc. and replace with icons from https://emojipedia.org/ (e.g. 📖 🎯 ✔️ 📺🎵 🧑🏽🤝🧑🏻 📘 ✏️ 🎯🤔 💭)
- Learning Activities - ```{block, type='reflect'}
- Assessments - ```{block, type='assessment'}
- Checking Your Learning - ```{block, type='progress'}
- Some notes in the unit (ID can decide) ```{block, type='caution'}
- videos - ```{block, type='media'}
- Check instructions are clear on where to submit assignments (e.g. dropbox in Moodle)
- Add grading rubrics. Check formatting, accessible version, pdf option.
- Check that the course provides accessible text, videos and images for diverse learners.
- Blackboard Ally is enabled
- Add template for self-introduction by the instructor, instructions on what to expect, how to navigate course, etc.
- add the course syllabus as a pdf
- Add Announcements forum (or on a separate tab if preferred)
- Add Learning Café if desired.
- embed bookdown link
- lists summary of assessment
- has assignment dropboxes and discussion forums
- Add dates, weeks
- Add assignment due dates
- Add specific learning activities required for the course - only if there are differences in versions (e.g. 664, 591)
- Set up MS Streams link.
- Set-up gradebook to align with assignments
!! Double check the course in Moodle - to verify content is in the correct order, all images are present, and links work.
