Course Design & Development
Q. I'm currently teaching a face-to-face class and I thought of adding up with an online format. Would you develop a course even if my class is face-to-face?
A. Yes, our department is open to creating online courses to support face-to-face classes as well as setting up WebCT course shells (discussions, assignments, assessments, and grade book).
Q. I would like to have my face-to-face course converted to fully online or hybrid.
A. Normally your department would reach out to us to request our development work on a online/hybrid course. If they have not yet done so, we can contact your department and make arrangements to get the course development process started.
Q. How long does it take for you to develop a course?
A. It depends on many variables: first and most important factor is the date when the course content is fully handed to us; then, the amount of course content involved in the course, the quality of the material, the types of course set up required in WebCT. In average, however, considering we have the complete course content with us a course takes about 3 months to be developed. Sometimes it may take 2 months and other times it can take up to 5 months.
Clickers
Q. How can I get Clickers for my classroom?
A. Contact us to request your Clickers. Make sure you enter the dates you'd like to use them and the quantity.
Podcasts
Q. How can I get my podcast uploaded into iTunesU?
A. Contact us and we will set you up in iTunesU with login information and a quick walkthrough.
Q. How can I install Audacity into my computer?
A. Go to Audacity's website and download the latest version compatible to your computer's operational system (Windows XP, Vista or 7, or Linux/Unix).
Q. What other programs can I use instead of GarageBand and Audacity to make podcasts?
Q. How can I publish my podcasts without using iTunes/iTunesU?
Respondus
Q. How can I get Respondus installed on my computer?
A. Wilkes University has a Respondus Campus License. As a member of the Wilkes Community you just need to contact the Help Desk to submit a installation request.
Camtasia
Q. How can I get Camtasia installed in my computer?

Webconference / OnSync
