TA weekly tasks (2021) #19
Description
Before class:
- get slides, upload to Synapse
- get lecture videos (if any), upload to Google Drive, make sure they are set so anyone with the link can view
- add materials links to timeline and post in discussion board (if you received them in advance)
- Update scoreboard - make sure it matches this week's activity. If copying from last year, go to "edit Synapse widget" and update the evaluation ID and module number. Ask Rstudio infrastructure person (Bruno, Lingling, etc.) to submit a test response. Ask them to clear the scoreboard before the day's meeting.
- Monday of each week - send reminder email about upcoming week, with date/time of lectures and zoom link
- If using CompOnc Zoom account, check CompOnc1 calendar to see if there is a meeting immediately prior - if so, give them a heads up that they will need to end on time [if using individual Zoom then make sure co-hosts are designated in meeting setup]
- log in and start the meeting as CompOnc1; admit people from waiting room; add cohosts
- if setting up Zoom meetings from individual account, be sure to designate alternate co-hosts and just create a recurring meeting (don't set up each class separately with a different title)
After class:
- Get link to Zoom recording (make sure it is set to not require passcode (settings in upper right of recording page))
- Add recording and materials links to timeline and post to discussion board
- Do the assignment and add extra comments; post to discussion board
- Monitor email - add people to Synapse team, answer questions, etc
- Monitor discussion board for questions
- Monitor homework - Check leaderboard, track who has finished their assignments, email students who are falling behind [Byrone/PM can help with this]
After the course is over:
- Make Synapse project Public
- Add local sharing settings to the folders with Zoom recordings so they are only accessible to admins and participants
- remove recording links from Curriculum page
- Let students know in Discussion board that they can still access the recordings in the Files section
