Title: READ ME FIRST - DELETE BEFORE PUBLISHING
Course: AAAP 406 (Fall 2020; 10440) Special Problems > Section: START HERE: Welcome to [Course Title Here]

This "Welcome Module" was created to help you introduce your students to your class, in order to maximize their success.  Please don't feel obligated to use anything you don't want to. You are free to pick and choose the items you wish to include and delete those you don't. Be sure to edit each item to reflect your course before publishing.

A best practice in online course design is to include some "practice" items that represent any form of assessment the students will encounter in your class. If you are administering quizzes or exams through Canvas, using discussion forums, or requiring online assignment submission, allow students to experience each of these modalities in a low-stakes or no-stakes format. This helps to prevent confusion when it counts, as some students have never taken an online course or used any of these Canvas tools.

There are a few practice "assessment" items at the end of this module that are intended to meet that need, while also providing mechanisms to either get to know students or introduce certain information about the class and academic integrity. Feel free to use these examples or create your own.

- UNGRADED QUIZ: Getting to Know You Survey
- GRADED QUIZ: Syllabus Quiz
- ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION: Academic Integrity Pledge
- DISCUSSION FORUM: Introduce Yourself to Your Classmates
