Improving the instructor experience

Starting the week of October 15, a dynamic assignment will beginning running that will assign new instructors a material to their BuckeyeLearn transcript titled “New Instructor Onboarding”. This material will contain links to valuable resources and job aids, ensuring that instructors are equipped with all the information they need to perform their new instructor responsibilities in BuckeyeLearn on day 1.

Instructors will also start receiving meeting invites for their scheduled sessions, ensuring they have essential details like date, time, and location on their calendars. If any changes occur, such as new instructors joining or schedule adjustments, updated invites will be promptly sent. Administrators who create ILT sessions will want to become familiar with the  new emails and when they fire:

Change in Details
Recipient: Instructor
When sent: When an admin adds an Instructor or changes the Location, Start or End Dates and Times of a session.
About the email: A Microsoft Outlook meeting invite; the instructor can add it to their calendar by clicking the Accept button; the changed information is not highlighted to the instructor in the email

Session Added
Recipient: Instructor
When sent: When an admin creates a new session.
About the email: A Microsoft Outlook meeting invite; the instructor can add it to their calendar by clicking the Accept button; the changed information is not highlighted to the instructor in the email.

These enhancements prioritize efficiency, making it easier for instructors to access resources and stay informed about their training sessions.
