If you want to add a page inside a specific unit,module, or section, simply click on the container and just create a page here. A Practice Page is intended for ungraded activities, allowing learners to engage with the content without impacting their scores. In contrast, a Scored Page is used for graded activities, such as assessments, checkpoints, and exams. You’ll notice that Practice Pages and Scored Pages have distinct icons in your curriculum list. These icons help you easily differentiate between content types and track the structure of your course."

    title: "Add and configure OLI Torus in Canvas course",
    transcript: "Add and configure OLI Torus in Canvas course: The first thing you need to do when integrating Torus to Canvas is to ensure that OLI Torus is registered as an LTI Advantage tool in your institution’s Canvas system. This is typically handled by a Canvas administrator. If your Canvas admin hasn't integrated OLI Torus yet, contact OLI Support at oli-help@cmu.edu. Okay, now, to place the OLI Torus link to Canvas, you have three options: The navigation menu An assignment Or a module. Adding OLI Torus to the navigation menu is recommended if you and students need to enter it frequently. This will result in OLI Torus also being visible on the Canvas class Home page. Adding OLI as an assignment is the recommended placement. This allows you to place OLI in your weekly curriculum and assign the reading as homework or out-of-class activities. Adding OLI Torus as a Module will allow students to navigate to OLI through the module view. To learn more, see OPTION 3. To avoid confusion, add your OLI Torus course link in only one place, Navigation Menu, Assignments, or Modules.OPTION 1: Add the link to the Navigation Menu. Go to Settings at the bottom of the Canvas navigation menu. Click the Navigation tab on the top and scroll to find “OLI Torus” (not the other ones) under disabled items. Drag it up to the list of enabled navigation items and click Save. OLI Torus will now appear in your course’s left-hand menu.\
    OPTION 2: Add OLI Torus link in an Assignment Click Assignments > +Assignment Add a title. This is what students will see when they click on Assignments in the Canvas class. Scroll down to Submission Type, select External Tool Click Find, Choose OLI Torus from the list and click Load in a new tab. Click Save and Publish or Save. If necessary, publish the OLI Torus assignment by clicking the “not published” icon on the right side of the page. OPTION 3: Add OLI Torus link in a Module Click Modules in the Nav menu, then Create a new module Give the Module a name, such as OLI Torus Course (or base the title on your Torus content, such as Wellstart or General Chemistry) and click Add Module. In the new Module, click the Plus sign and select External Tool. Select OLI Torus from the list, update the title if you like, click Load in a new tab and click Add Item. Publish the OLI Torus module by clicking the “unpublished” icon on the right end of the OLI Torus module. And once you’ve added the link to Canvas, it’s time to configure your OLI Torus course materials for use with your students. Click the OLI Torus link you just added to load it in a new tab and configure your OLI Torus materials. Click Start and follow the prompts: Select a source material to base your course on. Use the search feature to find the desired content, if necessary. For example, here I’ve selected a Discrete Math course. Enter basic info link Course name, Course section number (can be a catalog number / CRN, for example), and modality for how class meets, and other course details Voila, your section has now been created. Note that: Once set up, all links will point to this same OLI Torus course, no matter where students access it from in Canvas. Students have no OLI Torus accounts. They will access everything from the Canvas link. There you have it. In just a few steps, you can add and configure OLI Torus in your Canvas course.. If you need to unlink a course, Contact OLI Support at oli-help@cmu.edu."

    title: "Scheduling Tool in OLI Torus",
    transcript: "Scheduling Tool in OLI Torus: Hi, I’m Eadin from the Open Learning Initiative. In this video, I’m going to show you how to schedule your course content in OLI Torus. This will help you set clear expectations for when students should complete units, modules, and graded assessments using our flexible Gantt-style tool, without manual entering for each page. Let’s get started. Under your course’s Manage settings, scroll down to Curriculum and click into the Scheduling and Assessment Settings. Now we see a page with four tabs of settings. In general, the Schedule tab lets you create a suggested course timeline for students to follow. The Assessment Settings tab allows you to configure each assessment item in more detail. The Student Exceptions tab enables you to set accommodations for individual students based on their needs. Finally, Advanced Gating is for instructors who want more control over how and when course materials become accessible. \
    If you need help with Advanced Gating, contact OLI Help at oli-help@cmu.edu. Let’s start with the schedule setting. Here you will see your course timeline laid out across weeks. Each line here represents a unit of the course. Later you will have an adjustable schedule on this page. To start with, click 'Set Schedule', select the days you want to consider for that schedule, click Continue. If you choose 'Do not set assessment due dates,' the system will not automatically assign any due dates. You’ll need to manually set them later in the Assessment Setting view. If you choose 'Set assessment due dates according to the sequence of course content,' due dates will align with where each assessment appears within a unit. For example, if an assessment is placed halfway through a unit, its due date will also be scheduled halfway through that unit’s duration. If you choose 'Set assessment due dates to the end of each section,' all assessments will be due at the end of their respective units. \
    So even if an assessment appears midway through a unit, its due date will still be at the end of that unit. This option is the most commonly used. Now you’ll see a Gantt-style timeline. Use Control +/- or Command +/- to adjust the size of the content on the screen for the best view. You can view or hide details of a unit by clicking the small black arrow or the Expand All / Collapse All button. Length of these blocks represent the suggested time duration of the units, which is independent of assessment dates you set. They are interactive and fully adjustable, meaning that you can move it or drag the ends to change when a unit begins or ends. You can also search for a specific module or topic using the search bar. By default, items under a unit are set to 'Suggested by Dates'. Suggested by date is for keeping students on track, for example, with their readings, while due by date is for scored, graded objects. You can change one item’s date into hard 'Due Dates' or 'In-class Activity' by clicking and editing them on the bottom left hand corner of the screen. The item will then change to a calendar or group icon. You can also: Right click a unit or item to remove it. Adjust dates with numeric input given selected units or assessment item Or Drag and reposition the task on the timeline This gives you granular control over how students pace themselves. Remember to click 'Save Changes' after you are done. If you want to Preview the schedule from a Student View, go back to the course manage settings, Click 'Preview as Student' to see what your learners will see. Recent items will appear under 'Upcoming Agenda' on the home page, and the full schedule can be viewed on the Schedule page. And that’s the Scheduling Tool! Remember, you can change these settings at any time, even after the course has begun. In the next video, we’ll walk through the assessment settings."

    title: "Configure Assessment Settings",
    transcript: "Configure Assessment Settings: From the schedule and assessment setting page, go to the Assessment Settings tab. Here, you’ll see a list of scored activities. You can manage them one-by-one or in bulk. Let’s look at settings for individual assessments first. Each activity includes multiple settings you can adjust regarding when and how students experience it. To do so, simply click and select, or enter your changes. To mention a few tips: The time of date here follows the 24-hour system. Enabling Targeted Retake Mode will allow students to only redo questions they got wrong. Also, Passwords and Exceptions will help set special access rules or accommodations for individual students. You can also use the search bar to search for specific assessment name key words. Now let’s look into the Bulk Apply function. With many assessments, managing one-by-one can be tedious. Bulk Apply allows you to copy settings for one assessment and apply them to all the others, except for the available date and due date. For example, here I change the number of attempts and late policy of the Getting Started assessment and want to apply it to all, all I need to do is to select it from the list, click Bulk apply, and confirm. This applies your selected settings to all assessments at once, really time saving right? There will be another video explaining student progress and insights. If you have additional questions, visit our OLI Help page."

    title: "Monitor Student Progress and Insights",
    transcript: "Monitor Student Progress and Insights: From your course dashboard, click the Insights tab. This tab displays information about how students interact with your content and assessments. Under the content tab, you’ll see student progress and proficiency levels organized by unit or module. This tells you, in aggregate, how far students have progressed in a given section and their overall proficiency. You can filter by searching unit names, and selecting student progress or student proficiency. In the Learning Objectives section, you will find a proficiency breakdown organized by learning objectives. The displayed analysis is based on the learning objectives you set. If your course does not have learning objectives, no insights will appear. For example, this course contains four learning objectives. When you hover on the proficiency progress bar, the detailed data will show up for each objective. This breakdown helps you understand where students are excelling, and where they might need extra support. You can also filter by module to check on specific parts of your course. Under Scored Activities and Practice Activities, you will see the assessment data of each unit on students’ average scores, attempts, and progress. For both of the activities tab, you can dig into one unit by clicking on it, and the questions breakdown would appear right below the table. This shows you how students are performing on each question, including attempts and incorrect answer patterns. Note that anything you change here will not be saved and updated to the course. Under the surveys tab, you can click into the page to see survey results if your course includes surveys. This is a great place to check in on feedback or gather formative insights from your students."

    title: "Manage course - miscellaneous",
    transcript: "Manage course - miscellaneous: Hi, I’m Eadin from the Open Learning Initiative. In this video, I’ll show you some other settings you can play with to manage your course. The settings include course discussions, collaborative spaces, notes, and manual scoring. Let’s get started. Under the course’s Discussion Activities, you will find the details of student posts if your course involves any discussion. You can also filter to see 'Posts that Need Approval' and 'Posts Awaiting a Reply'. Going back to your course’s Manage tab, scroll down and you can find 'Browse Collaborative Spaces' next to Manage. If your course has a collaborative space, you may enter it here. Scroll down a little more, you can enable notes for your course. The notes are essentially a notebook for students within the course page. This allows students to annotate content for saving, and sharing within the class. Once enabled, it will apply to all pages in your course. Click OK to confirm. Lastly, you can also enter the manual scoring space here if your course involves activities to be graded manually. Click on manual scoring next to Scoring to see the list of activities. Select the one you want to score, and scroll down to see detailed student answers, and the place to enter your input. Note that aside from the score, you have to give some feedback in order to apply your scoring. Use the score short-cut button to save your time. Once you apply your score and feedback, the page will automatically jump to the next one in line. If you have additional questions, visit our OLI Help page."
