The presentation module is where the instructor introduces new theory, concepts and ideas, while the activity module allows you to put that knowledge into practice.

The "to do list" section on the left contains all the non-activity tasks necessitating completion, like standard homework. The right-hand side displays the instructions and materials associated with activities. Additionally, a glossary and practice tests are available as helpful resources..

Scene 13 (5m 46s)

[Audio] Calendar option is located at the top of the assignments menu. When clicked, you will be able to view all of your upcoming assignments and activities with the exact dates when they need to be done. This allows you to organize your workload in advance, which is an essential part of successful study..

Scene 14 (6m 4s)

Module content. things designated as “activities” are essentially meant as stand-in for the in-class work of a normal course and are NOT the same as homework. It is with these that you will get most of your language practice/interaction. These activities may be both on canvas OR on VHLcentral , but are independent and distinguished from Homework and carry a separate grade.

Scene 15 (6m 24s)

[Audio] Assessments come in two forms, objective and essay. Objective assessments involve multiple choice, true/false, and fill-in-the-blank questions intended to verify comprehension of course material. Essay assessments are used to demonstrate your ability to apply learned knowledge; they require you to answer a prompt in the form of a short essay. Ultimately, both types of assessments aim to demonstrate your understanding and proficiency with the material and concepts studied in the module/book unit..

Scene 16 (6m 58s)

[Audio] Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) is a comprehensive form of assessment that encapsulates formative and summative elements. Evaluations of performance are conducted over multiple activities to gauge student learning outcomes and progress towards mastery. Combining student, teacher, and administrator input creates a profile of performance which can help students identify their strengths and weaknesses in a particular subject. Additionally, faculty and administrators can use IPA results to assess student mastery of a course. Through this kind of assessment, we are able to create a more effective and meaningful educational experience for our students..

Scene 17 (7m 40s)

[Audio] Low percentage quizzes are an effective tool for assessing student comprehension of course materials without having to administer exams. These quizzes are composed of brief multiple-choice queries that are tailored to focus on the more important concepts from the course unit. Low percentage quizzes are quick and easy to answer, allowing instructors to determine student understanding and identify any learning gaps while still leaving plenty of time for class activities and discussions. Utilized properly, these quizzes can help instructors verify that students are engaging with the material, as well as provide any needed assistance to enable the learner's success..

Scene 20 (9m 52s)

[Audio] To ensure successful enrollment in ITLNI 101 30049 Elementary Italian SEC 02 Spring 2021, registration must be completed by the end of the 5th week of the semester. Remember to buy the ISBN codes and links for the course as soon as possible to avoid any late fees. When registering for the course, be sure to choose between the 6-month or 36-month format..

Scene 21 (10m 18s)

[Audio] The two types of due dates that we use in our courses are ‘Soft’ and ‘Hard’. Soft due dates are due at midnight on the day specified, but there will be no penalty if submitted late. Hard due dates, on the other hand, have a penalty for late submissions and this penalty increases the longer an item is overdue. Additionally, all items must be completed by the course end date, which is the deadline. It is important to remember that there is no grace period past the deadline. Be sure to stay on top of due dates and plan ahead..

Scene 22 (10m 55s)

[Audio] Soft due dates are when students can complete the work without incurring a late penalty. After the soft due date, students are allowed to submit their work without any penalty to their grade. Deadlines, however, are when students must submit their work by a certain date or time and receive a late penalty if they fail to do so. It is important to emphasize the difference between these two due dates, as it is essential for students to understand the distinctions..

Scene 23 (11m 25s)

HARD. SOFT. Each item in a module is given a due date. However not all due dates are created equal Our modules (and course in general) have 2 distinct types of due dates and a deadline.

Scene 24 (11m 31s)

[Audio] This slide talks about the "Soft" material that accompanies the ITLNI 101 30049 Elementary Italian SEC 02 Spring 2021 textbook. These include presentation material, grammar drills, activities and homework. While you have flexibility in when you do them, some of them are necessary to make progress, so it's important to stay on top of them..

Scene 25 (11m 57s)

[Audio] The slide you are currently looking at deals with the concept of “hard work”. Universities and institutions value hard work as the main component for success. This includes a dedication to complete all the assignments and deadlines required within the course. This also includes any and all requested contributions such as surveys and other tasks. All these tasks must be completed by the provided deadline. If not, you may incur late penalties. Furthermore, if working in teams or groups, you must do your part as quickly as possible to ensure that your classmates can also do their part in due time. Doing this, you can help them progress with the assignment..

Scene 26 (12m 43s)

[Audio] The final deadline for submitting your assignments is the end of the module for the entire course. Any assignments that are submitted after this date will either not be graded or there will be a severe penalty, even if you have an excused late submission. Make sure that all of your work for the module is submitted on or before the end of the module..

Scene 28 (13m 9s)

[Audio] When submitting work, it is important to follow all instructions. Label your files properly and keep a copy for your own records. Take a few extra moments to proofread to prevent mistakes. Ensure that your work is organized and concise to get your point across clearly and effectively..

Scene 29 (13m 30s)

[Audio] Lesson is about making the most of the resources available to us, including the ITLNI 101 30049 Elementary Italian SEC 02 Spring 2021 textbook. In the content presentation, 'vocab' is one of the topics. When clicked on, you'll be taken to a link to your textbook. There are two options presented after. The auto-play feature runs through all the words automatically with no pause. The manual-progression allows you to play individual words over and over as you need by clicking on them. Make use of this resource to your advantage..

Scene 30 (14m 12s)

[Audio] Start an activity from Canvas that is connected to the textbook by making sure you have a stable connection, using Chrome as your browser, and permitting your camera and microphone if asked. Select one of the partners listed on the page and start the activity, following the instructions and completing the entire task. Not fully finishing may lead to penalties. Once you are done, submit your work..

Scene 31 (14m 38s)

[Audio] When given the prompt, listen carefully and then hit the recording button to start. After completing your response, hit the recording button again to end the recording. Review your response to make sure it was recorded correctly - incomplete or poor recordings won't be graded, so it's important to be precise for the best results. Recording audio can be a great way to practice your language skills..

Scene 32 (15m 4s)

[Audio] It can be tricky to get started with the activity, but understanding it will enable you to make the most of it. While the automatic advance can be helpful, it can be too fast-paced for some. Therefore, I recommend using the manual advance option instead. To do this, press the play button, and when you are ready, hit the record button. Be sure to complete all prompts, not just the first one. If you have difficulty understanding, you can also view the script in writing..
