As Unit Chair you can create new items and customise the existing template. Starting each trimester with a fresh CloudDeakin unit based on the template only means that you will be free of any potentially confusing out-‐of-‐date information, files, discussions, online tests, assignment dropboxes and grade items created in past trimesters. However, If you require content from a past trimester CloudDeakin unit you can get BL-‐CloudDeakin Support to copy it over for you. Content that can be copied from a previous trimester includes: • • • • • • •
Content – modules and topics Site files Discussion forums and Topics Quizzes and testbanks Checklists Widgets Modified navbar
Note: Copying content over will not include previous discussion messages, student assignment submissions or student grades. Please Note: 1. Whilst you can copy over dropboxes from a previous trimester it is best create these each trimester especially if they are setup as group submissions. 2. Grade items are not copied from a previous trimester because in the past it has proven confusing for students to see old items in the grades items that do not correspond to the assessment items in the Unit Guide.
Before starting CloudDeakin V10.1 If you didn’t teach in T1 2013 and haven’t been using CloudDeakin throughout the trimester you should be aware that there are some changes to the interface and how some of the tools work with the current version. CloudDeakin was upgrade to v10.1 at the start of T1 2013. Click here for a list of the new features in v10.1. Changes to the content tool are the most notable change staff will experience. Click here to take a tour of the content tool in the new environment.

Appendix 2 – Adding a Video/Text News Item The state of your CloudDeakin unit on first login can impact “the first impression” students will have about you, the unit and possibly leanring online. It is important to make your students feel welcome and create a learning community with your students. Adding a video welcome message to the news area in your CloudDeakin unit is a quick and easy way to personalist it. Your welcome message need only provide a quick introduction to you, the unit and brief information to sutdents on how to get started and only needs to be around 2-‐3 minutes long. 1. To get started first read the guide “Creating a video welcome message for CloudDeakin Units” which you can find in the sample welcome news item on the homepage. This guide will assist you in creating video either via a webcam or iPad and upload to DeakinAir, which can then be embedded in your News Item.
2. To create a new “News” item: a. Select +New News Item from the dropdown menu in the news item widget.

Appendix 3 – Managing Discussion Forums The Discussions tool is a learner engagement space (or communication and collaboration space) where you and your students can read and reply to messages on different topics, share thoughts about unit materials, ask questions and share files. Before you create a discussion topic, you must create at least one forum. You can use forums to organise your discussion topics in categories. Discussion topics do not stand alone, but are categorised into Forums. A Forum can contain any number of discussion topics. For example: in a unit with three assessments, an Assessment Forum could contain 3 discussion topics, one per assessment. Instruction on settings available, creating a new forum and topic and posting a discussion message are available on the DLF CloudDeakin Guides website. (http://www.deakin.edu.au/learning/clouddeakin/clouddeakin-‐ guides/communication/discussions)
Tips and hints using discussion tool •
You and your students can choose to subscribe to a discussion forum to receive updates via email. o Select the subscribe link next to the heading of the Discussion Forum
o Choose whether you want an instant notification or to include in your summary of activity. Please note: If you haven’t already setup your notification settings you can also do this from this dialogue box.

Appendix 4 – Managing Content The content tool enables you to create, edit, organize and delete modules and topics in your unit. The content area also enables you can to link to other tools in CloudDeakin that you are using, which means you can setup the content area to provide one area for the students to access their learning materials from. For example you can provide links to: • • • •
Assignment Dropbox Discussion Forums/Topics EchoSystem recorded lectures Quizzes
Instructions on using and managing the content tool in CloudDeakin are available on the DLF CloudDeakin Guides website. (http://www.deakin.edu.au/learning/clouddeakin/clouddeakin-‐ guides/content/content-‐tool)
Tips and hints using the content tool • •
The new drag and drop function, to add files from your desktop, only works in the browser Mozilla Firefox. When moving content modules make sure you place your cursor over the para icon next to the title of the module
•
Hold your mouse down and drag the module to where you want it placed. A line appears which indicates where the module will be placed.
•
If you want a module to become a sub-‐module drag it on top of the module you want it placed into, you’ll notice the module turns orange, release the mouse when it does.
10
LEARNING INNOVATIONS FACULTY BUSINESS & LAW •
To delete a module select it in the table of contents first. From the drop down menu “Actions” select delete module

LEARNING INNOVATIONS FACULTY BUSINESS & LAW
Appendix 5 – Assignment Dropbox The Assignment Dropbox manages the electronic submission and marking of assignments for students and staff. Why use the Assignment Dropbox? Students can submit, check against Turnitin and resubmit their assignments online. Once assignments are submitted, staff can: • • • • • •
Check submission times Grade assignments Leave feedback Return submissions with comments Download assignments as zip files Sort assignments by students
all from within the Assignment Dropbox. Instructions on setting up and marking online using the Assignment Dropbox in CloudDeakin are available on the DLF CloudDeakin Guides website. (http://www.deakin.edu.au/learning/clouddeakin/clouddeakin-‐guides/assessment/dropbox)
Tips and hints using the assignment dropbox •
If you enable Plagiarism Detection for the assignment dropbox make sure you deselect the option in the plagiarism detection options (at the bottom of the screen). The system is not setup to be able to check student submissions against other student submissions. If you do not deselect this option and a student uploads more than once the same document they will get 100% on their similarity report.
12
LEARNING INNOVATIONS FACULTY BUSINESS & LAW •
Students no longer complete an assignment declaration (plagiarism) checklist before submitting their work via the assignment dropbox. The plagiarism declaration, which can be found in the “Assignment Submission dropbox -‐ EXAMPLE Only”, needs to be copied into the custom instructions. Each new assignment dropbox must have this statement copied into the custom instructions.
•
If you enable plagiarism detection make sure in the restrictions tab you give the students enough time to get their Turnitin report in time to resubmit if necessary. Reports can take up to 24hrs to generate therefore if you set the start time too close to the due date students may not have enough time to generate the report and resubmit.
•
You no longer have to create a late submission dropbox, there is a new feature in CloudDeakin v10.1 “Has End Date”. Which means any submissions submitted after the due date will be marked late between the “Has Due Date” date/time to the “Has End Date” date/time. Students do not see the “Has End Date” date/time in the properties of the assignment dropbox.
13
LEARNING INNOVATIONS FACULTY BUSINESS & LAW •
Students who have been granted late submissions should be added to the special access under the restrictions tab of the assignment dropbox settings
•
You cannot change the folder type from individual to group or group to individual once it has been setup. You will have to recreate the folder if you need to change type.
•
If your assignment is a group assignment you will need to setup your groups first before creating the assignment dropbox. The automatic creation of groups only works when students are enrolled in the unit as it bases the amount of groups created on the number of students enrolled. Students are enrolled in the unit 1 week before trimester starts. Contact BL-‐CloudDeakin Support for assistance with creating groups if you haven’t done this before. (bl-‐clouddeakin@deakin.edu.au).
14
LEARNING INNOVATIONS FACULTY BUSINESS & LAW
Appendix 6 – Groups Groups can be used to organise students' work on projects or assignments. Students can belong to any number of groups in the same unit. Each group can have its own discussion forums, dropbox folders, and locker area to work in. Members of groups can be graded as a team or individually. Instructions on setting up and managing groups in CloudDeakin are available on the DLF CloudDeakin Guides website. (http://www.deakin.edu.au/learning/clouddeakin/clouddeakin-‐ guides/communication/groups)
Tips and hints using the groups tool •
•
• • •
•
•
You cannot automatically create capped groups on mass before students are enrolled. Groups are automatically generated based on capped amount and how many students are enrolled, therefore if there are no students in the classlist you have to manually create each group. You cannot have more than 200 groups in a category, however if you have automatically created capped groups the system will generate more than 200 to accommodate the number of students enrolled. Please note you will not be able to add additional groups to categories exceeding 200. You cannot hide groups and or restrict groups based on campus, date etc. You cannot add a student to a group that is capped and full. If a student withdrawals and then re-‐enrolls they are put back into the group they initially enrolled in which could cause the capped group to go over if another student has joined that group in the meantime. You cannot setup restrictions for a dropbox whilst adding a dropbox during creation of a group, you need to go into the dropbox after it’s been created and edit the settings to add the necessary restrictions such as start, end and due dates. You need to remove the groups function whilst marking as students can access the dropbox and feedback via groups.

Appendix 7 – Quizzes The quizzes tool is used to create, categorise, store, manage, publish and grade questions you set for your students to respond to either as self-‐assessment or as formal assessment tasks. There are three steps to quiz creation (online support links are provided below if you would like to attempt it on your own)
1. Preparing your testbank of questions for CloudDeakin -‐ three options: • Option #1: Preparing the testbank in a suitable rich text format/word document. See futher instructions at http://www.deakin.edu.au/learning/clouddeakin/clouddeakin-‐ guides/assessment/respondus • Option #2: Creating a quiz testbank directly in Respondus See: http://www.deakin.edu.au/learning/clouddeakin/clouddeakin-‐ guides/assessment/respondus • Option #3: Creating new testbank questions directly in CloudDeakin See: http://www.deakin.edu.au/learning/clouddeakin/clouddeakin-‐ guides/assessment/quizzes 2. Importing your testbank in CloudDeakin via Respondus. See http://www.deakin.edu.au/learning/clouddeakin/clouddeakin-‐ guides/assessment/respondus 3. Setting up your quiz parametres in CloudDeakin. See http://www.deakin.edu.au/learning/clouddeakin/clouddeakin-‐guides/assessment/quizzes
The B&L CloudDeakin Support team can setup your CloudDeakin quiz for you, all you need to do is fill in the online form at: http://www.deakin.edu.au/buslaw/staff-‐only/innovations/quiz-‐ request.php. Important: ▪ ▪
We encourage all staff to prepare their testbank questions in the correct Respondus format We require at least two weeks, and sometimes longer for large (eg. 100+ questions). Incorrect formatting of testbank questions and/or incomplete forms will delay the process.
The B&L CloudDeakin Support team also can provide training assistance in assisting you set up, manage and grade your online quiz. Phone: Ext 73303 (03 5227 3303) Email: bl-‐ clouddeakin@deakin.edu.au.

LEARNING INNOVATIONS FACULTY BUSINESS & LAW
Tips and hints using quizzes ▪
▪ ▪
If you choose to build your questions in CloudDeakin instead of Respondus, it is beter to build your questions in the question library first, then add them to the quiz. The question library is the best way to organize your questions. You can create folders and organize questions in various ways other than just by the quiz that they are in. This crates a question bank within your course from which you can pull questions into multiple quizzes. Using the question library is also a necessary step in order to crate randomized question sections within quizzes. You cannot create a new question directly into a random section in a quiz. You first need to create the question in the question library and then import into the random section. Once a quiz has been setup use the preview function to go through a trial run of the quiz and make sure there are no errors etc.
▪
▪
You cannot preview all questions in a quiz that uses a random section, as it will only display the amount of questions set in the random section. To preview all questions you need to setup a dummy quiz and import all the questions from the question database. Delete the dummy quiz after you have checked all questions. You can create multiple submission views to control when a student sees their mark for the quiz and when they can get feedback on which questions they got right and wrong. o Select the “submission views tab” in the quiz properties.
o Select the link “Default View” to set the student view when they complete the quiz. To only allow the student to see their score make sure the “Show Questions?” setting is set to no and select the option to “Show attempt score and overall attempt score”.
o Select Save.
17
LEARNING INNOVATIONS FACULTY BUSINESS & LAW o To add an additional view to display what the student got right and wrong after the quiz due date has ended select the “add additional view” from the “Submission Views tab”.
o Name the new view and change the view restrictions date to after the due date of the quiz. Select Yes for “Show Questions?” and select the options you want the student to be able to view.
▪
o Select save After a quiz has ended the user statistics, question statistics and question details give you an indication of where your students might be having difficulty understanding the topic. Select the “Statistics for” option from the dropdown menu next to the quiz title in the manage quiz area.
▪
In the question stats below you can see only 6.79% got question 19 right from the 221 attempts, whereas 69.68% got question 20 right, which may indicate you need to clarify this questions content to students.
18
LEARNING INNOVATIONS FACULTY BUSINESS & LAW
Strategies to minimize cheating There is no way to completely prevent cheating either in a traditional classroom or in an online course. However, there are some strategies you can use in CloudDeakin to reduce the likelihood of cheating. The following list provides a variety of ways to make your quizzes more secure, the more items you choose from the list, the more secure you quizzes become. 1. Randomise the answer choices for each question. 2. Randomise the questions on the test. Use question sets to randomly choose which questions from the set are displayed to each student, with a possibility of a different set of similar questions for each student if your test bank contains more questions than the number used for the test. 3. Create a large bank of questions from which to select questions for each test. 4. Display one question at a time. 5. Do not allow students to revisit the previous question. 6. Set a time limit for the test to not allow extra time per question. Students need to know the material to answer the questions correctly, with little time to research the answer from notes or books. 7. Disallow answer submission if time has expired. 8. Do not release the student’s test score until the quiz has ended. 9. Do not which questions the student got right and wrong and the correct answer.
