Learn how you can re-arrange, modify, or delete widgets and how to restrict their availability to certain times or groups.

How can you facilitate student learning in a large lecture class while keeping your workload manageable? In this session, we’ll offer practical suggestions on how you can use ICON to communicate with students, develop cooperation between students, encourage ‘time on task’, facilitate active learning, offer prompt feedback, and promote student-faculty interaction. We will focus primarily on advanced uses of the Discussion, Dropbox, Quiz, Chat, and Classlist tools. The session will consist of demonstration and discussion rather than hands-on instruction. Please note that the session is intended for instructors who are already familiar with ICON.

Learn about the three ways ICON can calculate grades and the different kinds of grade items you can choose from. Then build a simple grade book from start to finish: enter display settings for yourself and your students; create a custom grade scheme to convert percentages to letter grades; create new grade items (columns) and organize them into categories; enter grades manually; and calculate and adjust final grades.
