Three Start-Up Tips for Carmen and a Great Start to the Semester

by: Kiela Matthews

With semester about to begin, here are three suggestions to organize your content in Carmen to better suit your students:

  1. Consider using Modules as the main way to present your course content to students. Modules allow you to organize content by week, by resource, or by type. You can also create assignments, pages, discussions, etc., directly from the Module window, making it more efficient for you to create course content.
  1. Clean up your Navigation Menu in your course – Removing items from the menu that are not in use, or that do not need to be used by students, can guide you and the students on where to go in the course. No more aimlessly clicking around to locate assignments.
  1. Utilize the Syllabus page from the Navigation Menu. The Syllabus page is another area to place your syllabus, it also includes a Course Summary that lists all assignments, in chronological order by due date, so the students can see what is to come in the weeks ahead.
