A syllabus is often the first impression that students form of a course, and it serves both faculty and student as a guide to and contract for the semester. A well designed and personalized syllabus can help faculty set the proper tone while simultaneously helping them avoid having to repeatedly answer basic student questions about expectations, policies, and deadlines. This online mini-workshop will offer tips and considerations for effective syllabus design, with time for questions and discussion at the end.

Scientific Writing from the Reader's Perspective with Dr. George Gopen, Professor of the Practice of Rhetoric, Duke University
Wednesday, August 6, 2014 | School of Nursing (NU) 103 | 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Register» | Presenter: Dr. George Gopen
As competition for external funding becomes more challenging, getting one's scholarly work successfully published is more important than ever. Dr. Gopen's approach is based on a single idea: learning to write for the reader allows the writer to control what readers learn.
This year, Dr. George Gopen will present this workshop in a SINGLE DAY format.
As in past years, Dr. Gopen will also conduct hour-long, individualized consultations. ONLY faculty members who participate in the day-long event will have access to the individual consultation registration. Instructions will be sent to participants after their registration for the workshop is complete.
More about Dr. Gopen's original approach to scientific writing can be found in his article, The Science of Scientific Writing.

Getting a Quick Start in Moving from Oncourse to Canvas
Choose any of the following dates and times to attend:
Register»
Earlier this spring, Indiana University announced that the Canvas learning management system (LMS) would be the successor to Oncourse. This quick start workshop, in just three hours, is designed to help you quickly move your content from Oncourse to Canvas and learn the basics of Canvas in time for the start of the fall semester.
This is very much a “hands-on” workshop, so bring your laptop and your course syllabus, announcements and files you’d like to place in your Canvas course site (or be able to access these materials via your laptop through the wireless network). Each hour of the workshop will focus on a specific Canvas task, with the majority of the hour (50 minutes) allocated to giving you time to complete the task in your own course. At the end of the workshop, you’ll have a working Canvas course ready for the fall ’14 semester.
