So. Parkland didn’t get a grant. Broward College did. (I am, of course, pondering whether this is a trend.) They have a MOOC for developmental students — anywhere, any time.
I didn’t see an easy way to ask about it, so I just signed up.
I got a nice email this morning sending me to “canvas.net . ” The link didn’t work. However, my email has been known to open things in Sea Monkey, so that’s not a ding on them.
I cut and paste canvas.net into Chrome. I log in, as I’ve been told to do.
I get to a Calendar page, and it has waht looks like a link to my class.
It gets me directly to a pre-test. When I’m *done* the pretest, which has a pretty wide sweep of things (good!) , I get my results right away. 3/20, with each question telling me which unit to work on.
Well, somehow I *did* manage to get on the home page, eventually — but… design clue? Don’t dump me into a test on the intro, especially one I am not going to do well on. (I used our student responses to our eval. as clues.)
Back to it for a little bit (but I’m sure this will be a brief Monday lull in the tutoring lab).
