Hi folks, it looks like Scott the Magnificent has already created us a CanvasHacks public classroom to play in, and enrolled us as teachers.

Any thoughts on structure? I have a similar course that is mostly complete that I am preparing for my faculty that I could upload to provide a bit of structure. It is intended for non-coders, and has the following module structure:

• About HTML and the HTML Editor - DO NOT FEAR THE CODE!
• Beginning Users
• Intermediate users
• Advanced users
• Sharing (sharing has a discussion and links to external resoursces

However, I am not a pushy sort, so whatever anybody else wants, I am more than happy to go along with. I can always upload stuff a piece at a time and fit it where I can.

My "lessons" are all one page, and include:

• A brief description
• The code snippet
• Anatomy of the code snippet where I identify those components that are easy to modify by novices like myself
• Instructions for use
• Troubleshooting, and
• Sometimes some obvious variations based on changes to parts of the code (colors, sizes, positions etc. - the minor stuff)

Let me know what your think!

Oh yah, and I also have a hokey Home page, because that's just the kind of guy I am:)

Great idea, Kelley.

I created a course shell in resources.instructure.com.  It looks like well over 60 people have already requested either student or teacher level access.  Those of you with teacher level access, feel free to invite your friends.  Anyone else interested, please comment to that effect.   @kmeeusen ​ and the super helpful  @Ron_Bowman ​ have been great about going in and inviting folks. 

Thanks

Scott

Done!

[kmeeusen]

Thanks, Scott.

I also hooked somebody else up this morning - dang thing is rapidly turning into a MOOC, which is actually quite cool! I did not expect this level of response and am very pleased!

[scottdennis]

What has the activity level in the course been like?

[kmeeusen]

Scott:

We have a total of 126 participants, but contributions from those with Teacher access is slow - there are some. We most likely have many lurkers who are making good use of the code snippets in there, and that works for me.

I notice a whole deluge of new requests to join in the last couple hours. Did you get them all in, or would you like me to take care of them?

[a_eberhard]

I'm a lurker using the snippets. And they are great!  Once I have something to add I'll put it in.

[kmeeusen]

Andrew:

For this reason - "that you are using snippets, and they are great" - is reason enough for me to be very happy with the course and the participation in it. Those of us who got this idea, meant for Canvas Hacks to be a resource.

Thanks you, and keep on lurkin'!

[scottdennis]

Hey Kelley,

Yep, I'll take those numbers too.  Good stuff.

I've been adding people as I see them come it.  I reply to each that I add so that hopefully you'll know which ones have been done.

[kmeeusen]

Great, Scott, and I appreciate your help!

[mzucal]

I would like access as well
