Wrapping Up the Semester and Canvas Update

Wrapping up the Semester

Here are a few things to do before wrapping up the semester and enjoying the holidays.

• Check your Grade Center total column to make sure it is calculating correctly 
• Check to make sure you haven't hidden any students that have actually been in the class (Grade Center > Manage > Row Visibility) 
• Download the Grade Center to your hard drive for safekeeping 
• Archive (backup) your course

The last two items are more important than ever now that we are transitioning to Canvas. Please be sure to do this for every course you teach before Blackboard goes away in June 2018.

Canvas Update

OEI recently reported that 106 of 115 California Community College campuses (including Compton Center and North Orange Adult) have committed to moving to Canvas. There is a rush of activity around the state at all these campuses to make the transition. We're not alone in this!

We are on track for our pilot faculty to begin teaching with Canvas in 2017 spring. These 12 hardy souls will be on the bleeding edge for everyone else. They will discover problems we don't know about yet so we have solutions in place before the whole college moves to Canvas.

Spring semester is the right time to start learning Canvas. Everyone can begin teaching with Canvas during summer and fall of 2017. All faculty will need to teach all courses with Canvas during the spring 2018 semester. If you want to get started over the break, view the Lynda.com Canvas videos. This two hour course will give you a good start with Canvas.

I scheduled four Canvas workshops for Flex Week. Space is limited, so reserve your spot early. See my workshop schedule for more information on all the workshops I will be offering.

I will begin writing a series of blog posts about Canvas starting during Flex Week. Please help us get everyone on campus to subscribe to this blog at the bottom of my website.

I wish you all a joyous holiday season and happy new year!

Questions from Blackboard and Canvas Side by Side Workshop

I promised to find answers to questions from the two Side by Side workshops that I gave last week. Here they are!

1. Will Canvas integrate with my publisher's content?

This is one of the most important questions we need to be asking right now. In Blackboard, publishers create "building blocks" to integrate their content. Canvas uses the LTI standard which allows publishers to create one tool that can be used in multiple learning management systems.

The Edu App Center provides an index of LTI tools that are compatible with Canvas. Check their site to see if your publisher is listed. If it is not, contact your publisher and ask if they support Canvas.

2. How do I create hotspot questions in Canvas?

Hotspot questions ask the student to click on a certain region of an image to get the answer right. Canvas doesn't have this question type, however images can be annotated in an image editor with numbered or lettered regions for students to choose from. Adam Williams posted this example to the Canvas feature request as a workaround.

3.  How does one sign up for the OEI group in the Canvas Community?

The OEI (CCC Online Education Initiative) has created a Canvas Community group so we can ask questions and share what we learn with each other. It is best to create a Canvas account before following the steps below.

To join this group, go to the Canvas Community page and search for california community colleges. Click the link in the Places section on the search results page for CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES.

Once on the CCC group page, click the Join group button in the upper right. It may prompt you to create a community account, then give you an opportunity to log in with your Canvas account.

 4. What happens if we don't sign up for Canvas?

We will not be able to participate in the online course exchange. 47 California community colleges have already signed up for Canvas and those colleges will be able to participate in the exchange. We need to ask ourselves if we will be able to effectively compete for students without being part of this exchange.

In addition, Blackboard has created a new interface called "Blackboard Ultra." At some point we anticipate Blackboard will force us to move to this new interface, so if we stay with Blackboard, there will be a steep learning curve ahead.

 5. What kind of support does Canvas offer?

Canvas provides 24/7 online and telephone support for students and faculty as part of the contract. It also provides comprehensive help via the Canvas Guides. 

 6. What about plagiarism checking?

Since Canvas does not have plagiarism checking built into their product, we will need to subscribe to Turnitin software to get this functionality. Turnitin and SafeAssign are comparable products. The cost for Turnitin will be approximately $5,200 for Cuyamaca College and $12,000 for Grossmont College. 

End of Semester Wrap-Up

There are a few things to do before you tie the fall semester in a neat bow and head off to enjoy the holidays.

• Double-check your Grade Center total column to make sure it is calculating correctly
• Check to make sure you haven't hidden any students that have actually been in the class  (Grade Center > Manage > Row Visibility)
• Download the Grade Center to your hard drive for safekeeping
• Archive (backup) your course

Wishing everyone very happy holidays and a wonderful new year! See you during flex week!

Online Student Readiness Tutorials

A new resource to help students prepare for taking online courses has been developed by the CCC Online Education Initiative (OEI). They developed eleven interactive modules covering topics that will help students understand whether or not online courses are right for them and introduce students to the skills and strategies that will help them be successful in online courses. Please assign some or all of these videos for your students to watch at the beginning of each semester.

YouTube API Changes Causing Issues with YouTube Mashup and Video Everywhere

The following is a bulletin from Blackboard. This issue is unrelated to the recent upgrade and would have happened whether we upgraded or not.


Date Published: Jun 11,2015
Category: Product:Content Management,Extensions; Version:9.1,SaaS
Article No.: 000040643                                                                                                                                                      

Bulletin/Advisory Information: The YouTube Mashup and Video Everywhere tools in the Blackboard Learn software, which allow instructors to integrate videos directly into their lessons and courses from YouTube, is not functioning properly due to Google’s planned retirement of the YouTube Data API (v2).

The result of this is that users are unable to play existing YouTube Mashup links or upload/embed YouTube videos using YouTube Mashup or Video Everywhere. While the uploaded video can still be found on youtube.com, searching for it in the respective course will direct users to https://youtube.com/devicesupport.

It is our top software maintenance priority to restore this functionality, and has been for several months. Our product teams have been working diligently to update our software to work with the YouTube Data API (v3).  We plan on releasing patches as soon as development is completed and patches have passed quality assurance. We estimate that these patches will be available within the next 30 days.

Until software patches are made available, the following workarounds are available.

Workaround #1 - For Existing Links

Access the link by opening it in a new tab within your browser.

Workaround #2 - For Adding New Videos

Instructors who have lost access, and/or are unable to upload and embed YouTube videos using the YouTube Mashup or Video Everywhere tools may go to youtube.com and upload the video(s) via these instructions:
(note: this section modified from Blackboard's original instructions to be clearer)

• Navigate to https://youtube.com and search for the video you want
• Copy the URL
• In Blackboard, select an Assignments/Content area from your menu
• Create a new item in this content area by selecting Build Content > Item
• Enter a Name
• On the content editor toolbar, click the Insert/Edit Embedded Media icon
  (it will bring up a new window)
  
• Change the Type to iFrame
• Paste the URL into File/URL
• Click Insert
• Submit your new item

SafeAssign Integration with Regular Assignments

On June 5th and 6th, 2015, we are upgrading to a new version of Blackboard. The biggest change in this new version is that SafeAssignments will be integrated into regular assignments.

SafeAssignments are Blackboard assignments that are checked for plagiarism. Currently, to add an assignment to a content area you hover over the Assessments button and have to choose between an Assignment or a SafeAssignment.

The new integration between SafeAssignments and regular Assignments means there will be only one type of Assignment to choose.

The advantage of this integration is that almost all the features of a regular Assignment are now available for assignments checked for plagiarism. This includes the ability to attach a file, inline grading, and rubrics.

SafeAssignments that already exist in containers prior to this upgrade will still work without any problems at all. You will still access them through Course Tools > SafeAssign. They will not be automatically converted to these new integrated assignments. 

This is not a problem, however, you may prefer to use the new integrated assignments to take advantage of the advanced features. There are a couple of different ways to get your old SafeAssignments converted to the new integrated assignments once the upgrade is complete.

1. Recreate the SafeAssignments by hand.
   
   To do this, go into a content area, hover over Assessments, and choose Assignment from the drop-down as seen in the image above. Fill out the fields as usual and in the Submission Details section, put check marks next to "Check submissions for plagiarism using SafeAssign" and "Allow students to view SafeAssign originality report for their attempts".
    
2. Wait until after the upgrade to do a Course Copy.
   
   If you wait to copy your course until after the upgrade is complete, your assignments will be automatically converted. If you are not teaching a course this summer, and haven't already copied courses for fall, I'd really recommend you choose this option and wait to copy your courses until after the upgrade is complete on June 7th.
    
3. Just wait until the next time you copy your course.
   
   The next time you copy the course after the upgrade, SafeAssignments will automatically be converted to the new integrated assignments. There is no problem leaving SafeAssignments as they are. You just won't have the advanced features available to regular assignments. Even if you've already copied courses for the summer and/or fall, there's no harm in leaving SafeAssignments as they are until the next time you copy your course.

To find out more about SafeAssign and the new integrated assignments, watch the video at https://youtu.be/QId2Xza_95k.

Blackboard Tips

Northeastern University posted a few useful tips in their blog today that might come in handy.

• How to Sync your Blackboard Calendar to your Outlook Web Mail / Office365 Calendar
  (We don't have Office 365 yet, but we will probably have it next year)
• How to Sync your Blackboard Calendar to your Google Calendar
• How to Post a Link to a Google Spreadsheet into your Blackboard Course
• Creating a Non-anonymous Survey in Blackboard
• Give Audio Feedback on an Assignment in Blackboard Using an MP3 Recorder

Fix for Firefox Copy/Paste Blackboard Bug

You may recognize this situation: using Firefox, you copy some text from Blackboard or some other website, then you try to paste it into a Blackboard content editor by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-v. But nothing gets pasted! You look at your fingers and the screen in disbelief, mutter a few choice words, then end up trying to find another way to get that text typed in.

If you've been having this problem, there are three options to solve this problem:

• Option 1: Paste the text into another program, like a text editor, then copy it again from that program and paste it into the Content Editor.
• Option 2: Use the Chrome browser instead of Firefox.
• Option 3: Make changes to the advanced configuration in Firefox. Warning - this option is not for the faint of heart or tech challenged.
1. Open Firefox
2. Type about:config in the address bar (where you would normally type the URL of a website)
3. Click the button that says "I'll be careful, I promise!"
4. Type dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled in the search box just above "Preference Name"
5. Double click the search result item to toggle value from "true" to "false"
6. Close Firefox
7. Open Firefox again and login to Blackboard
8. Test copy/pasting

Please note, you still need to use Ctrl-v to paste instead of right-clicking and this fix has no effect on copy/pasting from Word or programs other than Firefox. 

Guest Access to Blackboard Courses

At the beginning of each semester you may want to allow some students access to your course before their add is processed in both WebAdvisor and Blackboard. Turn on guest access to do this.

1. Make the course available
   Customization > Properties > Make Course Available = Yes
2. Allow Guest Access
   Customization > Guest and Observer Access > Allow Guests = Yes
3. Choose the areas guests can access
   Customization > Tool Availability > Check the “Visible to Guests” column for item types you want to show, such as Announcements and Content Area

After doing the above steps you will see a choice on the course menu for items you selected in step 3 to Permit or Deny Guests. 

1. Click the options arrow next to the menu item
   
   
2. Choose Permit Guests.
   
   

End of Semester Update

Congratulations on another successful semester!

Before you leave for the summer, please download the Grade Center to your hard drive and Archive (backup) your course to your hard drive.

We will not be upgrading Blackboard before the summer semester. Each spring we evaluate our options for upgrading, and this year it was determined by committees at both colleges that the risk of new bugs far outweighed the advantages for any of the upgrades that are available to us during the break between spring and summer semesters. So enjoy the summer; there's nothing new to learn on the Blackboard front!

Wrap it up and start all over again

At the same time you're wrapping up the Fall Semester, many of you are starting to prepare for Intersession or the Spring semester.  Below are some reminders that may help you in this process.

Wrap up Fall

• Double-check your Grade Center Total column to make sure it is calculating correctly.
• Check to make sure you haven't hidden any students that have actually been in the class.  (Grade Center > Manage > Row Visibility)
• Download the Grade Center to your hard drive
• Archive (backup) your course.

New Semester Preparations 

There are a few resources to help you prepare for the new semester on the Online Success website. There is a Blackboard Semester Checklist web page that lists things you'll need to do in your Blackboard containers. There is a very useful Word file ("downloadable checklist") on that page with a more detailed list that you can print out and check things off as you finish them. There is a video tutorial that you can link to in your first announcement that explains to students how to log in to Blackboard.

There is an important emerging legal issue that I'd like to remind you about as you prepare your syllabi. It is increasingly important that online instructors establish an ongoing drop policy and implement it. It is the responsibility of the instructor and the college to assure that students receiving federal and state financial assistance be dropped from online classes when they cease to be active. The most common measure of inactivity is the passing of a week without communication with the faculty member or submission of course work (simply accessing the Blackboard container is not sufficient to demonstrate “activity”). The federal government has audited colleges to see if students are receiving financial aid for periods longer than they were actively involved in the class. Further, they are asking colleges to reimburse them for money paid to inactive students!

Information about your drop policy should be included on your syllabus that defines exactly when and under what circumstances students will be dropped for inactivity. For example, “Students who are inactive will be dropped from the course. If an entire week goes by with no activity on your part either through discussion board participation, email communication, or submission of work, quiz, or exam, you will be dropped. Therefore, it is imperative that you let me know if, for some reason, your contribution to the class will be interrupted.” In reality, we recommend you send a warning notification to students after a week of inactivity and allow a few days for them to respond.

I hope you have wonderful holidays and a very happy new year!

New Date Management Tool

On December 20th we will install a new Blackboard tool called "Date Management." This tool will make it easy for you to adjust all the due dates and item availability dates in your course. If you have a lot of dates to change in your courses, you may want to wait until this tool is available before changing them one-by-one.

Watch a short video to see how it will work at http://youtu.be/TF1kRIh8cZc. We do not use terms on our system, so follow the steps below to adjust the dates for a normal full semester course from Fall 2013 to Spring 2014.

Steps to use the Date Management Tool in Spring 2014:

1. Copy your course from this semester into the spring semester container as usual
2. Go into the spring semester container
3. Go to Control Panel > Course Tools > Date Management
4. Click "Use Course Start Date"
5. Current Start Date: 08/19/2013 (a late start class would have had a different start date)
6. New: 01/27/2014 (adjust as needed for shorter classes)
7. Click the Start button

Once this process completes, you can easily fine tune all the dates in your course using the Date Management Review page. This review page will be available from then on through Control Panel > Course Tools > Date Management.

If you want to play with this tool now, it's available on the Blackboard test server at https://gcccdtest.blackboard.com. 

For more information, see https://help.blackboard.com/en-us/Learn/9.1_SP_12_and_SP_13/Instructor/070_Course_Content/010_Reusing_Content/Date_Management.

Academic Dishonesty

Debbi Smith took these notes during a workshop on academic dishonesty at the Blackboard Tour held at Southwestern College a couple of weeks ago.

Methods:

• One person takes the exam and lets others know what is on it – they then claim technical issues after viewing the whole exam. 
• Groups take the test at the same place and time, such as in a library or tech mall, so they can talk to each other during the test and give answers. They will have similar test times and answers. 
• Facebook users contact ‘friends’ who pass Word docs around with entire test banks. 
• Claim of unreal technology issues. 
• Hire someone to do their work. 
• Keep content open while testing. 
• Use cellphones to look up answers. 
• Google test questions. 
• Try to open Blackboard on two different devices. 
• Record screenshots of entire exam or capture with video and post on YouTube as private.

Prevention:

• Easier to prevent than catch cheating. Let students know up front that you can pull activity reports and put it in the syllabi. 
• Blackboard will kick a student out of a test if they have Blackboard open on 2 devices – tell students this. 
• Randomize test questions. 
• Use Test Pools – a different test for each student 
• Pull Activity reports (will show if students are flipping between content and test – will show test, content, test, content, logout; will show if they looked at the whole test; will show if group of students took the test at the same time in the same building) 
• Use SafeAssign (checks for plagiarism) 
• Check for a difference between education level, grammar, and writing style of minor assignments and major assignments. 
• Check consistency/location of IP Addresses. 
• Show one question at a time (makes it harder for students to see if questions are the same) 
• Reduce time per question to 60-75 seconds. 
• Adjust text of test questions so Google doesn't find them quickly.

Using Item Analysis to Assess SLOs

Guest post by Anthony Zambelli.

Blackboard now allows you to run an item analysis on any test you've deployed in it. Although not necessarily the intent of item analysis, you now have a new and powerful tool to assess your students’ achievement of student learning outcomes when you administer your assessments in Blackboard.

Item analysis provides statistics on overall test performance and individual test questions. Although item analysis is intended to help you recognize questions that might be poor discriminators of student performance so that you can improve questions for future test administrations or to adjust credit on current attempts, it can also be used to assess student achievement of student learning outcomes.

You will be using the Question Statistics Table on the Item Analysis Page to assess your SLOs. You can run item analyses on deployed tests with submitted attempts, but not on surveys. Access previously run item analyses under the Available Analysis heading or select a deployed test from the drop-down list and click Run to generate a new report. The new report's link appears under the Available Analysis heading or in the status receipt at the top of the page. For best results, run item analyses on single-attempt tests after all attempts have been submitted and all manually graded questions are scored.

Just follow the following instructions on running item analysis on a test:

You can access item analysis in three locations within the assessment workflow. It is available in the contextual menu for a:

• Test deployed in a content area.
• Deployed test listed on the Tests page.
• Grade Center column.

1. Access the test's contextual menu.
2. Select Item Analysis.
3. In the Select Test drop-down list, select a test. Only deployed tests are listed.
4. Click Run.
5. View the item analysis by clicking the new report's link under the Available Analysis heading or by clicking View Analysis in the status receipt at the top of the page.

You are now ready to use the data that is generated to assess your students’ achievement of SLOs. The question statistics table provides item analysis statistics for each question in the test.

1. Filter the question table by question type, discrimination category, and difficulty category.
2. Investigate a specific question by clicking its title and reviewing its Question Details page.
3. Statistics for each question are displayed in the table, including:
   • Discrimination: Indicates how well a question differentiates between students who know the subject matter those who do not. A question is a good discriminator when students who answer the question correctly also do well on the test. Values can range from -1.0 to +1.0. Questions are flagged for review if their discrimination value is less than 0.1 or is negative. Discrimination values cannot be calculated when the question's difficulty score is 100% or when all students receive the same score on a question.
   • Difficulty: The percentage of students who answered the question correctly. Difficulty values can range from 0% to 100%, with a high percentage indicating that the question was easy. Questions in the Easy (greater than 80%) or Hard (less than 30%) categories are flagged for review.
   • Graded Attempts: Number of question attempts where grading is complete. Higher numbers of graded attempt produce more reliable calculated statistics.
   • Average Score: Scores denoted with an * indicate that some attempts are not graded and that the average score might change after all attempts are graded. The score displayed here is the average score reported for the test in the Grade Center.
   • Standard Deviation: Measure of how far the scores deviate from the average score. If the scores are tightly grouped, with most of the values being close to the average, the standard deviation is small. If the data set is widely dispersed, with values far from the average, the standard deviation is larger.
   • Standard Error: An estimate of the amount of variability in a student's score due to chance. The smaller the standard error of measurement, the more accurate the measurement provided by the test question.

You will be only interested in the Average Score column when assessing student achievement of SLOs by following the following steps:

1. Identify the SLO that is being assessed by the question.
2. Determine a satisfactory score that indicates that your students have achieved that SLO.
3. Compare your satisfactory score to the average score. If that score is greater than or equal to the satisfactory score then your students have achieved the SLO which you will report in TracDat. If the average score is less than your satisfactory score, then the students didn’t achieve the SLO and that may be an SLO you may want to work on the next time the course is taught, again reporting in TracDat.

For more information see the Blackboard Help.

Grading Discussion Board Forums

Navigating from one student to the next has changed a bit when grading a Blackboard Discussion Board forum. In a forum, click on the Grade Discussion Forum button, then click on a student's name to grade them, just as you've always done. The navigation from one student to the next has changed here. See the image below to see how to use these new navigation buttons to go from one student to the next and experiment with them to see how they work.

Perfect Storm

Monday we had a perfect storm converge on our Blackboard system. Three things went wrong in one day, which caused things to go a bit haywire on us.

The first thing that went wrong was an update to the Discussion Board. Unfortunately, this update shouldn't have been installed without installing a different update first, but that information was in the fine print and not as clear as it could have been. The bottom line is that the Discussion Board problems we had yesterday were caused by an honest mistake on our part, not by something Blackboard did to cause us problems. We sincerely apologize for this and will take extra steps in the future to prevent this kind of mistake from happening again.

The second thing to go wrong yesterday was that one of our 5 or 6 Blackboard servers wasn't working correctly. When this happens, things start behaving strangely. One person would have problems submitting an assignment, yet that same assignment would work fine for someone else. When this happens, we often suggest trying another browser because sometimes switching browsers will get you onto a better server, or it may be a browser issue. Assignments were not the only symptom of this rogue server problem. Some instructors had problems accessing the Grade Center, and a number of other strange, non-reproducible things were happening.

The third thing to go wrong was the cloud service that runs the new inline grading feature went down for a short period of time on Monday. Fortunately, since this is a cloud service, it was able to be fixed more quickly than the other two problems.

So that's the trio of storms that hit us Monday to create the perfect storm. Fortunately, following every storm is a clear sunny day and that is where we were on Tuesday with Blackboard. Blackboard performed some magic between midnight and 2am Tuesday morning that fixed the first and second problems, and by all accounts, everything is running smoothly now.

Please remember to take a look at the system announcements in Blackboard when you experience problems. There might be information there that can help you and your students stay informed in situations like this.

Synchronize SafeAssign

If you're using Blackboard SafeAssignments, it's a good idea to synchronize SafeAssign each semester before assignments are due just to make sure students won't have any problems submitting their assignments.

You can do this by going to:
Control Panel > Course Tools > SafeAssign > SafeAssignments.

In the upper right you'll see the button for "Synchronize this course." Just click that button and your course will be fully synchronized with the Blackboard SafeAssign server.

Help Your Students Login to Blackboard

Some of your students may have trouble getting logged into Blackboard. You have the ability to check to see what username they should be using and you can change their password if needed. Chris Rodgers, my counterpart at Grossmont College, created a video that shows how to do this that you can find on the Online Success website under "Verifying Usernames & Changing Passwords."

Submit a Blackboard Assignment Video

There is a new video for how to submit an assignment in Blackboard that you can link to for your students to view at http://www.gcccd.edu/online/student/blackboard/how-to-submit-a-blackboard-assignment.html. If you linked to this video previously, it is now at a different URL, so please update your courses.

Most of the Blackboard tutorials for students on the Online Success website at http://www.gcccd.edu/online/student/step-4-blackboard.html  have been updated for the new version of Blackboard. Please share these with your students. Only the submit assignment video needs an updated URL, so if you already have links to the other tutorials, they should be okay.
