Moldy Oldie News Items

I think a lot of instructors will be surprised NEXT semester when their spring course is duped for summer and they find all their News items still in the course. Or, if you receive some other instructor’s section, you’ll get all their News items.

This can be a good thing or a bad thing. If you want to recycle some of the News items, this is a nice feature as you won’t have to retype. However, you will need to sort out the News entries and reorder them for your new class. You might also need to delete some semester specific items. All of this takes a bit of time on your part, but once you figure out what to keep and what to toss, this is pretty slick.

And now through the magic of technology and the magic fingers of our training team, we have tutorials on how to delete and reorder those News items. See: http://at.ccconline.org/faculty/wiki/Tech_Tools_-_D2L_-_News#Tutorials
