This page will help you setup and use various pieces of educational technology in support of your courses. It is targeted toward faculty and TAs from CSE who need quick and simple directions for accomplishing common tasks. Communications Most courses will make use of some sort of electronic communication. The e-mail page explains several different methods of setting up mailing lists using the department computers. On the group discussions page, can learn how to create on-line forums for the discussion of course material. Homework Here is information on an easy to use cheating detection service that has been used in CSE142 and 143. If you wish to collect homework files using a polished, web-based tool, the best solution is the Catalyst e-submit tool. Students use this tool in many of their non-CSE classes and will be familiar with the way it works We have a CSE web-based homework turnin facility that will let your students turn in files electronically. Neither the management tools nor the student interface is as good as Catalyst's solution, but it has the advantage that it can compile java programs as they are turned in. This tool is very mush skewed towards CSE142 and 143, but any course can use it. See the 142/3 homework help page for more information. If you wish to use this tool, contact Dan Boren. Web All courses in the department have their own webs. This page tells you how to create and manage course webs. You can get valuable feedback (and probably some raw flames) from your students by adding an anonymous feedback form to your course web. You can set aside blocks of time- perhaps to meet with the instructor to discuss project proposals- and ask students to sign up for them using this signup tool. Students can volunteer to "take" resources- typically, that means present papers in class- using this presentation tool. Some courses (and research projects) use MediaWiki to facilitate collaboration. See Using MediaWiki at CSE for details. Course Computing Instructors and TAs will benefit from this Preparing Instructional Resources, which includes information on course computing, preparing and managing course files, and obtaining class enrollment lists. Instructional File Access Information for Instructors and TAs . Related links The UWired Catalyst web site contains many useful tools that permit UW faculty and staff easily to create and manage web pages, mailing lists, etc. The CSE department publishes many of its courses on the internet. You can read about how this is done and download many of the tools that are used in the production of the content.
