Kick Off
Kick Off
<Insert Media Recording Here> [NOTE TO CHALLENGE LEADER: Record an intro video introducing yourself and explaining what the participants will accomplish over the next ___ work days. Instruct them to choose a course shell that they will use to complete the Challenge tasks in and to enroll you as a Designer in the course. Inform them that your first meeting will be the Kick-Off meeting and you will address any questions or concerns at this time. They do not need to complete anything until the Kick-Off event (other than choosing the course they plan to build in), at which point they will complete a Module to help them get started in Canvas. In addition to your video, add some text to the page reiterating the important points from your video (especially the meeting details and meeting agenda).]
Welcome to the Canvas Challenge! I will be your Challenge Leader for the next two weeks. I will monitor your progress and offer support and guidance to help you complete the Challenge.
