You will now be going done two tracks in parallel:

Implementing your 5-Column worksheet from Deliverable #1 to build out Week #1 in your distance Course Canvas Prototype
Refining/ revising different aspects of the Week #1 course design around the QM Rubric in preparation for designing the rest of the course.

How Much do I Need to Build Out to Prep for the QM Team Review?

For the purposes of the in-person NCSC QM Team Review, you only need to build out Weeks 1-4 of your prototype course.

This is so that you have a solid start (25%) of implementing your design into reality. This is also enough to give the Review Team a tangible sense of your first major topic (1-2)'s setup. However it also will allow you to not have to redo the entire course to implement or revise identified issues or suggestions from the Review.

Where To Build My Week 1 Prototype?

All course shells have been generated in Canvas. From past experience, we have found it helpful to generate an "offline" Master development shell that is not subject to term dates or will ever have live students connected to it.

Likewise, you can revise/ add the course before importing it into the actual live Canvas site that will be populated with live enrolled students.

If you choose, you can add other instructors to copy or export items from the shell if you choose as well.

How do I Access My Prototype Canvas Shell?

Click "Courses"
To go to the course shell, click the name of the course.

What if I Am NOT Seeing a Shell for the Distance Course I am Building?

Click COURSES> ALL COURSES
Look for A "...QM... PROTOTYPE"

What If I Need to Learn the Ropes of Canvas?

Ideally, you have a strong familiarity and comfort level of Canvas in-depth before using it to teach at a distance.

However, if you are new or at least uncomfortable with how to operate the basics in Canvas, be aware that you will need to address this.

It is beyond the scope of this course design process and you will need to arrange this in parallel with this process.
