How Digital Badges Work

Here is a neat infographic about how digital badges work. For some reason, I thought these badges I kept hearing about were more complicated than this. But no. They really are this simple. I even have one myself. I clicked a button after completing a MOOC last week, and it was magically added to my LinkedIn account. Pretty cool.

Watch this webinar recording by the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning (COERLL) at the University of Texas, Austin if you would like to learn more about how one can create and issue badges.

How to Import Final Grades from D2L to ISRS

Faculty can easily import their D2L final grades into the IRSR (e-services) system. Step-by-step explanation is given in the video/presentation (WebEx recording link) and the Q&A form below. Great news!

Q: How can I set up my D2L Brightspace Grade Book to Enable Importing Final Grades from D2L into ISRS?

A: FAQ 1619 provides links to instructions for the proper set up in the D2L Brightspace Grade Book, and the steps for the import process in ISRS eServices Grade and LDA Entry.

MnSCU provided a WebEx session for CSAs and CTs on this topic last week, recording available at https://mnscu.webex.com/cmp0401lsp13/webcomponents/docshow/docshow.do?siteurl=mnscu&setupStatus=1

Please remember that October 1, 2015 Course Purge begins for Summer 2013 (ISRS YRTR 20141) courses.

Hippocrates is an OER (open educational resource) developed by the University of Bristol to help 3rd year medical students become more familiar with various clinical practices. The modules, which are designed to be used in a blended/flipped approach, include tutorials, case studies, videos, and links to external resources, interspersed with engaging and interactive formative assessments.

Anyway, I thought these e-tutorials might be of interest to our faculty and students, particularly in the School of Health and Human Services. Also, the developers of Hippocrates hope to collaborate with other institutions around the world in creating freely available resources for teaching clinical medicine.
