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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Fisher College of Business: Leader in Online Learning
Launched in 2003, Fisher College of Business’ BSBA Regional Distance Learning program offers a distance business degree for students on the Lima, Marion, Mansfield and Newark campuses. Its primary strength is that it allows students to remain in their community while obtaining a degree from Fisher College of Business – just as if they were on the Columbus campus. In addition, students who wanted to pursue a Business Minor can also accomplish this while remaining on a regional campus. The Business Management degree offers a seamless transfer to Columbus campus if a student wants to pursue a Business Specialization.
The Business Management degree is delivered in a blended classroom format using pre-recorded online lectures and live weekly sessions via video conference. The live sessions allow the instructor to deliver class lectures to the regional sites just as if the students were on main campus.
The asynchronous delivery of materials allows the students to access their online lectures and course materials at their convenience using the university’s learning management system, Carmen. Students can access content in a various forms – streaming video, mp3, PowerPoint slides and in some classes, transcripts.
The Distance Delivered Business Management program on the regional campuses has enabled thousands of students to get a Business Management degree or a minor in Business Management and achieve their goals.
