Hi Susan. I’ve recorded several lectures using zoom. Can you advise me as to how to upload them onto LON CAPA? I’ve done so by uploading them as zip files but then I have run out of disk space. I’m doing something wrong. Please help. Angela

Luckily because of my age and underlying pulmonary issues, I had already gotten permission to go online the previous Monday. That gave me time to think about how to accomplish the switch and notify students before they returned to campus after Spring Break. The biggest changes for me are: * giving lectures via Zoom, which I record and then post on LON-CAPA (works then for both those who can/wish to be online during class time and those who can't/don't wish to) * eliminating exams 2 and 3 and making the homework for the second half of the course worth 20% of their grade * reducing my expectations on the project and eliminating the in-person presentations during the final exam and increasing the worth of the project * doing participation exercises online through LON-CAPA, but giving them more time and making it (at least initially) more supportive than anything else. (This weekend's question was what I can do as your instructor or as associate chair for UG studies to help you in this challenging time). * listing online videos of course-related academic seminars for the extra credit assignment. (Colleagues on Twitter have been awesome at providing me with links to videos). These replace the on-campus seminars. The students are shell-shocked, so my recommendation is be patient with them, reduce your expectations - things will not be the same, and just do what you can't. Don't worry that things will not be perfect. Don't edit videos (it's a waste of your time). And remember to take care of yourselves, All the best, Susan On 3/15/2020 1:25 PM, Peter Riegler wrote: Hi, face-to-face teaching stopped on Friday at my University up until mid of April. Since I use LON-CAPA to implement Just-in-Time-Teaching I do not feel really challenged by the current situation. Business in LON-CAPA will continue as usual. I will replace class time either screencasts or Adobe Connect sessions. I discussed that on Friday in one of my classes after the the message of university shutdown had arrived. Also to my students my plan seems to be the most reasonable. Peter Am 15.03.2020 um 18:02 schrieb Lucas, Mark: I’m guessing everyone is in the same boat to some degree or another. Here at Ohio University we have suspended face-to-face classes through the end of the semester and are scrambling to go fully remote. The good thing is that for those of us already using LON-CAPA, the transition is a little easier, but I know that I personally have a bit of work to pull together extra resources to help support the students better. I would be curious to hear how people are adapting and perhaps using LON-CAPA in ways they have not before. As well, this would be a great venue for people who have questions about ways to stretch their use of the system. I know on our end we are scrambling to decide how we will use LON-CAPA for examination with the knowledge that their may need to be some give and take on proctoring in the immediate future. How goes it for everyone else? Mark -- Susan J. Masten, Ph.D., P.E.
