For Instructors

Yes! Instructors are welcome to self-enrol (via the Online Resources page) in the CSAS Learning & Writing Workshops and Resources course on Brightspace and review all 19 workshops. In addition, descriptions of all workshop topic are provided on our Learning and Writing Support Workshop page.

Instructors can capture attendance for students’ completed workshop(s) by setting up an assignment submission box. This is where students will submit their Record(s) of Completion, similar to a regular course assignment. Using an assignment submission box will allow instructors to specify due dates for the required workshop(s), provide individual students with Incentive Program extensions, and customize the program to work best for their class.

Before students can submit their Record(s) of Completion, instructors will need to set up an assignment submission box. Please review the instructions for creating assignments in Brightspace, provided by Teaching and Learning Services.

Students are responsible for submitting their Record of Completion PDF to their instructor. It is recommended that instructors create an assignment submission box for students’ submissions. Using an assignment submission box will allow instructors to specify due dates for the required workshop(s), provide individual students with Incentive Program extensions, and customize the program to work best for their class. The workshops are reset after each term to allow students to repeat workshops as needed.

Absolutely! After registering your class with the Incentive Program, using the Incentive Program Registration Form, a member of our team will reach out to you with details and information, including syllabus information.

Before students can submit their Record(s) of Completion, instructors will need to set up an assignment submission box. Please review the instructions for creating assignments in Brightspace, provided by Teaching and Learning Services. If you would like assistance in setting up the assignment submission box(es), please contact Teaching and Learning Services.

Once students complete all of the workshop components and achieve 100% on the final assessment, they will receive a Record of Completion award from Brightspace.

The record of completion includes the:

• Workshop Name
• Date of completion
• Student Name
• Student Number

Students will need to download the Record of Completion PDF for each applicable workshop and submit it to an assignment submission box within their instructor’s course. This record of completion is what instructors can use to check the student’s workshop attendance and allocate course incentives. After instructors sign up their course(s) with the Incentive Program using the Incentive Program Registration Form, they will receive a package with an example of the Record of Completion award included.

Students have access to all previous Records of Completion that they have been awarded. It is up to the instructor whether or not previously awarded completion records can be submitted and used within their course. For example, if a student completed a workshop during the Fall term, they would still be able to submit the record in a course registered in the Winter term. Each Record of Completion PDF includes the academic term as well as the date of completion. Instructors can decide if students should repeat the workshops in the current term or submit previous records of completion.

Students often end up repeating workshops as various classes register with the program, and sometimes their requirements overlap. If you would like to provide students with credit for a workshop completed in a previous term, an option would be for them to provide you with their previously awarded Record of Completion. Each Record of Completion includes the date on which a workshop was completed.
