iLearn
Congratulations! You've taken the first step towards using the power of the Internet to improve your teaching. There are many ways to use iLearn (SF State's Learning Management System) and other online tools to improve your courses, and possibly make your job easier.
There are quite a few instructors on campus who are using the Internet to teach. Some of the ways they are using the Internet include:
- Provide important resources and content for 24/7 student access
- syllabus, lecture notes, handouts, etc.
- Facilitate interaction
- e-mail announcements
- online threaded discussions anywhere, anytime
- group work with wikis
- Assess your learning
- self-assessment quizes
- rubrics for for written assignments that you turn in online
All of this may seem a bit overwhelming at first. To be honest, if you tried to do it all at once it would definitely be overwhelming. So take your time, take a small piece, and begin to expereince the power of teaching "with a net"--the Internet.
