Getting the Most Out of Learning Assignments

Getting the Most Out of Learning Assignments

During the onboarding process, you will be assigned at least two courses to review, or learn. These will be the first two courses you are eventually authorized to facilitate.

This course review should include:

  • Reviewing all content pages and assignments to familiarize you with every aspect of the course. Keep in mind these will be the courses you will be assisting live students with in the future!
  • Review Discussion Board posts and Draft "mock" responses. Please do not submit any assignments to the course, or alter course set up, announcements, due dates, etc in any way.
  • Review any "Facilitator Notes," which (if they exist) provide guidance from the course author and instructional design team about instructional intent. These can be found from clicking Pages-> "AA Instructor (or Facilitator)Notes" from the administrative menu within your course.
  • Download all Course Project documents and review in detail. Drafting your own responses to these questions would also provide a deeper understanding of the student experience.
    Note for learning new Codio courses to Facilitate:

    When you are in training sections as a TA for Codio courses, you may use the "View as Student" functionality to see the Codio assignments from the student perspective. You can also participate in the assignment from this view. *For non-Codio courses, we ask that you do not use the Student View functionality as your time spent within the course will not be logged.
Important things to note while you move throughout learning assignments:

We ask that you do not make edits or changes to modules you find within these training sections, mock due dates, etc.

Please do not work through these courses in “Student View”.  Kindly note that if you work through the course in “Student View”, your access will not be recorded. 

You have one week from the assigned training date to complete each course (two weeks in total if assigned two courses, etc).
