<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Faculty,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Spring 2019 course offerings have been created in myLeo Online (D2L Brightspace). There is a course shell for all Banner sections, regardless of teaching modality. This means there is a course offering shell in the learning management
system for all fully online, blended, and face-to-face course sections. These course offerings do not have content in them; you will need to copy your content into the course.
<b><a href="http://www.tamuc.edu/facultyStaffServices/academicTechnology/_documents/d2l/CourseCopy-ImportCourseComponents.pdf">Here are instructions</a></b> explaining the steps to copy your content into your Spring course offerings:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If your course needs to be cross-listed with another course or courses, please email us at
<b><a href="mailto:online@tamuc.edu">online@tamuc.edu</a></b> and we will cross-list those courses for you.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, we have updated the <b><a href="http://www.tamuc.edu/facultyStaffServices/academicTechnology/_documents/d2l/D2L_SyllabusTemplate_Updated_11_6_2018.docx">syllabus template</a></b> so that the technical requirements section is condensed.
The template is based on Quality Matters recommendations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This week we are offering three <b>myLeo Online</b> <b>workshops</b> to help you prep for the new semester, as well as finish out this semester with grading assessments:<o:p></o:p></p>
