Introduction to Drupal
This workshop introduces users to the basic functions for creating and publishing content to a Drupal website at Appalachian. Users who will be maintaining a website are required to attend. Please note the prerequisites.

Having a Drupal site is a prerequisite because we have found that it is easier to retain information from the workshop if you have a site to work on already. However, people who are interested in learning how to use Drupal are welcome to attend as well.

The content will familiarize attendees with the range of the writing, reading comprehension, study effectiveness, and other aids that are provided by this software, as well as how to access it on the ASU campus. The course is recommended especially for those in positions where students who may struggle at the college level can be identified and directed to this software as a potential intervention for learning success.

AsULearn Quiz - Introduction
AsULearn's Quiz module is a powerful tool that allows faculty to create and administer quizzes online. With its many features, it is very popular with faculty even though it is one of the more advanced tools available in AsULearn. In this introduction, the workshop reviews how to create various question types and add them to a question bank.

This workshop focuses on the most commonly used question types including: Multiple choice, True-False, Matching, Short Answer and Essay. Once the questions are stored in categories in the question bank, then teachers can add a quiz activity to a course employing a range of options. Options include quizzes with different question types, randomly generated questions from the question bank, quizzes with time limits, and multiple quiz attempts. In addition, effective quizzing practices are reviewed.

AsULearn Assignment Tool
The Assignment tool gives teachers an easy way to allow students to upload digital content for grading.

The assignment tool also includes the option to add a rubric or a marking guide to make grading easier.

One of the advantages of using the Assignment module is that all assignment types will insert a calendar reminder in the Moodle calendar for the course, and also a grade item in the AsULearn Gradebook.
