[Atlantia-Announce] Feb 2021 University Call for Newcomer Classes

[Sonya Gross]

Greetings, 

 

I am coordinating the Newcomer Track for the Feb 2021 Atlantia University.
Please consider teaching at the 2021 newcomer track.  I would be happy to
help you register.  For those that don't need help registering, please use
the "Newcomer Track" when registering.  You can use your own account for
your preferred virtual platform or Atlantia has the ability to set up a Zoom
room for you (Atlantia provided rooms are limited and fill up fast).  

 

Please see the announcement below for details on teaching.

 

YIS,

Subject: [Atlantia-Announce] Class Proposals: The University of Atlantia

 

The University of Atlantia is NOW ACCEPTING CLASS PROPOSALS for the online
Winter Session on February 13, 2021! Proposals will be accepted until
December 11, 2020. 

 

To submit a class proposal, please visit University.atlantia.sca.org
<http://University.atlantia.sca.org> . Questions? Please contact Esa inghean
Donnchaidh, University Deputy-Dean of Academics
(university-deputy3 at atlantiasca.org
<mailto:university-deputy3 at atlantia.sca.org> ).  

 

ATTN: Teachers 

Teachers are required to host their own classrooms. This allows the
University to offer more classes per session, and gives teachers the ability
to use their preferred platform and their preferred web conferencing
settings. Teachers are required to provide the class url by adding it to the
class description at least 10 days prior to the event.  

 

If a teacher is unable to host their own classroom, or are uncomfortable
doing so, the University of Atlantia offers a limited number of
University-assisted rooms, offered in Zoom or Google Meet. These assisted
classrooms are available on a first come/first served basis, and fill up
quickly. URLs for University-assisted classrooms will be sent to the teacher
and added to the class description by University staff. To request a
University assisted room, please reach out to the Deputy for Online
Learning, Sofia the Orange (onlinelearning at atlantia.sca.org
<mailto:onlinelearning at atlantia.sca.org> ). 

 

Please do not share the class url beyond registered students. This way
University staff get an accurate count of event attendance, and can be sure
that there are no issues with unauthorized spammers attending a class.  

 

Moderators, also called Teaching Assistants (TAs), are strongly encouraged
for all classes to help with admitting students into the class, taking
attendance, monitoring the chat, etc.  Teachers are responsible for
recruiting their moderator in advance for each class. Want to teach but
don't have a moderator? Reach out to the Teaching Assistant Coordinator,
Sof'ia of Ponte Alto (university-ta at atlantia.sca.org
<mailto:university-ta at atlantiasca.org> ).  

 

Due to high demand, the University of Atlantia is asking teachers to please
limit their class proposals to three classes per University session. This
gives more teachers an opportunity to teach per session, and balances the
strain on University resources and staff.  Teachers who would like to submit
class proposals exceeding the 3 class limit, should reach out to Deputy
Chancellor- Dean of Academics, Esa inghean Donnachaidh
(university-deputy3 at atlantia.sca.org
<mailto:university-deputy3 at atlantia.sca.org> ).  The extra classes may be
waitlisted and offered if space is available, and additional information may
be required.  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.  

 

Teachers are responsible for reporting attendance to University after
completion of each session. This information supports the University degree
system by letting us know how many total hours each student attended.
Moderators may take attendance during class (University staff highly
recommends this as a moderator task); however, it is the teacher's
responsibility to report attendance on the University website.  Need
assistance? Reach out to the Registrar or the Online Learning Deputy for
help (registrar at atlantia.sca.org <mailto:registrar at atlantia.sca.org>  or
onlinelearning at atlantia.sca.org <mailto:onlinelearning at atlantia.sca.org> ).


 

Teachers who are going to be on camera should make an attempt at garb.

 

Teachers must indicate whether they plan to record their class in their
class description.

 

Teachers are responsible for following copyright law as applicable to
sharing class material, distribution of class handouts, presentations, etc.
to the students and / or others. Some popular ways to share handouts and
course materials include uploading  files to Google Drive, Dropbox, or a
similar service and then sharing the link with students, and posting
materials to a personal blog, Facebook page, or other social media presence.


 

Teachers are responsible for time management. Please be aware of the class
start and end time and strive to be on time throughout the day. Please note
that classes end at :50 to allow ten minutes to change classes.

 

All classes are listed in Eastern Standard time. Classes will begin at 10am
and end 6:30pm. Breaks will be from noon-1pm and 4-4:30pm. 

 

Teaching Assistants: Recommended moderator duties

 

Take attendance for the instructor.  One way to do this is to ask everyone
to type their SCA name into the chat feature, and then copy and paste or
otherwise capture the names from the chat. This is also handy for students
whose online account name does not match their SCA name.  

 

Monitor any "waiting rooms" and admit students as they arrive. 

 

Facilitate student questions that may be submitted via the chat function.

 

Help teachers stay on schedule (i.e. start and end on time). Please note
that classes end at :50 to allow ten minutes to change classes.

 

Yours in Service, 

Esa inghean Donnchaidh

Deputy Chancellor- Dean of Academics, University of Atlantia
