From: "dwhi [email protected]" <dwhi [email protected]> Subject: Purdue University Procedures Spring 2012

OFFICE OF THE PROVOST December 29, 2011 Dear Colleagues: Even though the holiday season is upon us, the beginning of the spring semester is just around the corner, star ng Monday, January 9th, 2012. As you plan ahead for your spring courses, I would like to remind you that the Student Bill of Rights requires that all faculty provide a syllabus for their students. The syllabus is a great way for you to offer an overview of class expecta ons to your students. A simple syllabus format and the Purdue University Course Procedures for Spring 2012 can be found at Center for Instruc onal Excellence website<h p://www.purdue.edu/cie/teaching/syllabus.html> . I also want to make you aware the Adverse Winter Weather Procedures and Announcements<h p://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/health_safety/2011/11130WinterWeather.pdf> sent out on November 29, 2011 on behalf of Robert E. McMains, Vice President for Physical Facili es. Also, please find a ached a reference document on technologies Purdue has to offer to communicate or engage with your students in case of unex‐pected emergencies that affect the Purdue West Lafaye e campus. Also, please find a ached a document outlining the Ini al Course Par cipa on Repor ng that Purdue Univer‐sity implemented in the Spring 2011 term. Thank you for your a en on to this ma er — and to the well being of our students. Best wishes and Happy Holidays! Cordially, A. Dale Whi aker Professor, and Vice Provost for Undergraduate Academic Affairs ____________________________________________________________________ Hovde Hall of Administra on, Room 100 610 Purdue Mall West Lafaye e, IN 47907‐2040 (765) 494‐9709 Fax: (765) 496‐2031

Purdue University Procedures Spring 2012—(Continued)

Purdue has technologies to make it possible for faculty to communicate or engage with students in case of unexpected emergencies that

affect the campus. Planning ahead of me is crucial to ensuring con nuity of your courses through an emergency. It’s important to

recognize that in the event of an emergency, just as at any other me, University policies regarding privacy and confiden al data must

s ll be observed. The easiest and most effec ve way to be prepared for an emergency is to set up a Course Email list for your class at

the beginning of the semester. It will automa cally create an email list that enrolls students and will be ready for you to use when need‐

ed to email informa on to your class. Get started with the Course Email List tool here:

h p://www.itap.purdue.edu/learning/tools/emaillists/

Good prepara on at the beginning of a semester would also include pu ng your course materials and grades in Blackboard and provid‐

ing instruc ons to your students on how to access them. Uploading your presenta ons and notes at the beginning of the semester en‐

sures that students will have access to all relevant course work if an emergency should occur. Uploading your syllabus would be an easy

first step. Quizzes and assignments can be created, distributed, and collected through Blackboard as well. Get started with Blackboard

here:

h p://www.itap.purdue.edu/learning/tools/blackboard/

Faculty who wish to give presenta ons or have student groups work synchronously could plan to use Adobe Connect. Using audio or

video through Connect or another video broadcas ng applica on is also a possibility. Faculty may hold live text or audio chat sessions via

Adobe Connect or other readily available, free chat applica ons, such as Skype. Get started with Adobe Connect here:

h p://www.itap.purdue.edu/learning/tools/gomeet/

If there is a campus emergency, it is likely faculty will be working from home or another remote loca on. They will need a rela vely

current computer with a broadband connec on, such as DSL or cable, and microphone or webcam if they want to broadcast or record

audio or video. Because faculty may need access to other resources, such as files that are kept on their office computer, they should

know how to access them ahead of me. Local IT can assist with this need. The key to being prepared for class con nuity in the event of

a campus emergency is planning ahead and familiarizing yourself and your students ahead of me with the procedures and technolo‐

gies that might be used. Your local IT staff and ITaP are available to assist in your planning. Please contact ITaP at [email protected] any

me to set up a consulta on.
