Welcome to week 8! Spring quarter has been a journey, but we're almost there!

Student Remote Learning Webinar Resources
A recording of the remote learning webinar, a Tableau chart with data, slides from the webinar, and links to resources are available via the EVC’s website. You can also click these links for both: 

Simple GauchoSpace Template
Respondents to the remote learning webinar indicated that they need GauchoSpace sites that are clear and easy to navigate. You can find a template for a site like this here. To create a “tabbed” course site like the one in this site:

*Go to the Administration Block in your course site and click ‘Edit Settings.’ 
*Under Course Format, set the Format to ‘Onetopic Format.’
*Scroll to the bottom and click ‘Save and Display.’

Find out more about the different course format options here.

GauchoSpace/GauchoCast Tip:  If you choose to embed a video from GauchoCast in a page or an activity in your GauchoSpace site, it is always a good idea to also put a direct link to the same video directly below the embedded video. That way students can still access the video in case there is a problem with the embed tag.

Remember that the IS Team is available for consultation for questions as we move toward the end of the term. We’re here for you!
