日韩AV

The top of online courses at 日韩AV include the following items in the "General Topic" at the top of the course LearningHub page:

• A header graphic
• The course number and title
• An announcements forum
• One or more of the following forums:
  • Online chapel
  • Q&A forum (or Muddiest Point forum)
  • Introductions forum
• A Meet Your Professor Page
• Orientation to LearningHub
• Link to Library LibGuide for the Degree
• Link to the Syllabus
• Exam Proctoring Information
• Organizing Introductory Content with Label Lines

Note: We do not recommend writing content or weekly announcements right on the main LearningHub page because it is not web friendly to create a long scroll for students to get to the module information they need for a particular week, especially as the semester continues on.

This guide will help you add these items to the top of your course. If you are doing remote teaching, you can pick and choose as desired. If you are doing online learning, these are standard, please include them.

Announcements Forum

By default, your course has an Announcements forum at the top of the course. This is a special forum that has the following characteristics:

• Only the instructor can post to it. Students can NOT reply here.
• Posts in this forum automatically also go to students Andrews' email addresses.

When teaching online, the instructor should send a weekly email to students (more often for shorter length courses).

Additional Forums

You can add additional forums to the top of your course by clicking:

• Add an activity or resource
• Choose Forum and click Add
• Write in the title and description of the forum (suggestions below).

Here are some highly recommended suggestions. Be creative and personalize these as appropriate.

Introductions Forum
Welcome! Please introduce yourself so we can get to know each other. Tell us a little about yourself, your location, and your goals for this course. Let's greet each other!

General Questions / Q&A Forum / Muddiest Point Forum
Stuck? Confused? Have a general question? Ask your question here!

Online Chapel
Example 1: If you would like, you may share prayer requests or praises here in the online chapel.
Example 2: Come in quietly.... Take a deep breath. Imagine you're in a forest chapel. Come into our online chapel and feel the Spirit take your load away. Rest a moment. Share a prayer request, or pray "aloud" by typing a prayer for a classmate. Have a comment or reflection on one of the Bible verses or quotes in the course content pages? Share that here too if you wish....

Link to Your Syllabus

It's best practice to include a PDF of your syllabus, because it is more web friendly than a Word file. It will save you time to upload the syllabus to iVue, and then link it in LearningHub. This way you only have to update in iVue if you make changes. Also this way you are meeting the requirement of the Provost for your syllabus to be listed in iVue (aim for 2-3 weeks before the course starts).

1. Login to
2. Choose iVue, Manage Syllabi, find your course, upload your Syllabus
3. Go to
4. Click Add an Activity or Resource in the top section of your course
5. Choose AU Syllabus, click through the options and Save and Return to Course
