Our D-WRD D2L Commons site is up and running. We can use it to practice setting up modules, creating assignments, and experimenting with different strategies for managing good, robust discussion forums.
I can add you any time as a “Teaching Assistant,” which gives you good observing status, or — even better — I can add you as an Instructor, which allows you to edit the course, create modules, and administer the course along with the rest of us. Also, as an Instructor, you can export any materials that we develop here and import them into your own course! Email me your preference — Teaching Assistant or Instructor.
