Whether you're new to Squarecap or you've been using it for years, it always helps to have a checklist to make sure you and your students are ready to hit the ground running in class. The following checklist is ideal for teachers at schools that have LMS (Blackboard, Sakai, Moodle) integrations with Squarecap.
-
Create your courses for this semester. You can add sections to your course and manage your roster, although we recommend closing enrollment and skipping roster upload if you're planning on connecting your course to your school LMS.
- Connect your course to your school's Learning Management System:
-
If you're a returning user, you can duplicate sessions from an earlier semester if you want to reuse those questions this semester. Squarecap also offers complimentary question import (request here) if you have questions in a different format such as Microsoft Word or Powerpoint. Additionally, you can request access to publisher questions if you're using a textbook from one of our publisher partners.
- Hide your courses from a previous semester so that your course dropdown is clean and uncluttered.
- If you're teaching in-person classes this semester, create an optional Seat Map. Seat Maps allow for a birds-eye view of your classroom and enable automatic grouping of students for peer instruction.
-
Download Squarecap's student handout and share it with your students.
Note: If your school doesn't have an established LMS integration with Squarecap (see our integrated schools list), or your school has a Canvas single-sign-on integration, please use our New Semester Checklist for non-integrated or Canvas-sign-in Schools, respectively.
Once you're set up for the semester, feel free to look over our recommended refreshers for new and returning teachers:
