Week 11! March 24/2021

My course feels done, or at least for our class purposes, it feels done.   The link for Wellness 10 ECI 834 can be found here. My main page starts with essentially a syllabus and breakdown of the goals/topics covered in the Wellness 10 course.
The next tab on the course is learning outcomes, which are directly from the Saskatchewan curriculum. This section also gives students a tangible look at the grade breakdown for these areas which are directly correlated with the amount of time we spend in each area.
Next on the dashboard, is the modules section. First is our 30 Day challenge, which I think is one of the most important areas in Wellness 10. The students are able to identify some opportunities where they can improve their lifestyle, eating habits, sleeping schedules, environmental awareness, etc. They are then able to formulate a plan here to make this life change for 30 days. I have uploaded a PDF in this section to aid them in working through this module.
The second module is our fitness testing area which is easily done without the aid of much equipment, should someone be doing this course fully remotely.  I have uploaded PDFs of a) recording sheet b) girls aged 14-18 results matrix c) boys aged 14-18 results matrix d) goal setting and reflections as well as recorded my own exercise demonstration videos and uploaded them to YouTube with links to each. Originally, I had uploaded these videos directly onto the site, but after having about half of them, I was running out of storage space. Alec was in the breakout room as I was pondering this problem and figured out the solution to host them on YouTube instead of the Canvas site.
Next is Assignments, which mirrors a lot of the information in the modules section, but give grade values to the assignments, but also has a section with a link to FlipGrid for introductions. The students are invited to use this link to introduce themselves, speak briefly on past (positive or negative) , and what they hope to get out of the course.
The next section is Files, where students are able to access the documents for both modules, as well as shortcuts to videos. As I write this, I see that I've only used 12% of the storage for the site, which is about 70% lower than when I had 6 videos hosted directly on the site.
In my Discussion section, I decided to limit the topics available, mostly to streamline the locations and make things easier to find in there. I have a General area, a space for Wellness resources, and each module has their own discussion section.
The Rubric area houses evaluation criteria for the 30 Day challenge only since the Fitness Testing rubric is basically integrated into that assignment.
Finally, I opened up the Chat option so that students are able to ask questions in real time to me, or have others in the class respond if they are online and working through similar difficulties.
