L - Synchronous Teacher Guide

You Spoke and We Listened!

Based off teacher feedback, we have created a new catalog, L - Synchronous, that is streamlined and easier for both teachers and students to use. This catalog is recommended for use in virtual, in-person, or hybrid learning environments where students are learning synchronously, or together at the same pace. Though it is intended for this use, courses in this catalog can still be used in asynchronous (self-paced) learning environments.

What is Hidden?

In the L - Synchronous catalog, the Show Its, Show It AKs (answer keys), and new Checkpoint assessments are hidden. Historically, the Show Its have been left unhidden in courses for students to use as self-check assignments. Due to the synchronous design of this catalog, we have made the Show Its gradable and hidden and teachers can decide to unhide them. If teachers would like more opportunities for assessment, the Checkpoints can also be unhidden (see instructions below).

Teach Its, Read Its, Watch Its, Play Its, Practice Its, Assess Its, and Mastery Assess Its are all visible to students.

Gradable Learning Objects

Please note that the Show Its, although currently hidden, are gradable. This means that if one or two Show Its are unhidden, they would be worth a significant portion of a student’s grade because they would be the only gradable learning objects in the Assignments weighting category. We suggest keeping the Show Its hidden or unhiding multiple Show Its so there are multiple gradable learning objects in the Assignments category. If you wish to unhide one or two Show Its, we recommend changing the weighting category (in the settings), the weight of the assignment (under the weighting tab), or making the learning object ungradable (in the settings).
