Here are some sample instructions for teachers around the new Pacing & Progress widget set-up.   Feel free to use these, or to simply take some ideas for your own.
 
 
Step 1:  Teacher adds widget onto the homepage for each course (depending on local permissions).

 
Step 2: Load schedule by selecting required items.

 

Step 3:  Explain to Students.
 
Since I already have students in the course, I sent out an email to all enrolled students.
 
A new feature has been added to this course to help you with scheduling (the biggest challenge in online courses).   You must follow the steps to establish a schedule.   It will take you about 5 minutes.

To catch future students, I added a note to the welcome letter (IA).
 
Step 4:   Monitor and Communicate
 
This hugely important part enables us to communicate pacing and progress to parents and counsellors.
 
The WCLN SMS is currently being adapted to load the parent data into D2L so the widget can be easily leveraged for this.
 
Instructions will be added here as soon as the data is able to be loaded for use.
