Moderator Role

Each term has 50 seats and more seats will be added as needed. The moderator accesses the course at https://www.palmbeachstate.edu/canvas/
The moderator’s role will be to answer questions via email in Blackboard, and periodically check on student progress, checking on each course at least three times a week. One month before the class closes, all participants who have not completed will be provided with a follow-up email. There are no incompletes; if a person does not finish, they will have to retake the course when new sections open in the following term.
The adjunct will use a Web-based registration tool to enroll www.palmbeachstate.edu/forms/AdjunctDevelopment/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fforms%2fadjunctdevelopment. This tool requires sign-on with their Palm Beach State user ID and password. From there, they click on the date. This will eliminate non-employees from registration. https://www.palmbeachstate.edu/academicservices/documents/faculty_dev_course_manual_version3_January2022.pdf . Once they register, they receive a confirmation email to await access to the Canvas course.
From this Intranet tool - http://intranet.palmbeachstate.edu/utilities/adjunctdevelopment/ the class rosters will form. Clarisse May will be responsible for providing access to Canvas and will send an invitation to the participants to access the course or a confirmation email that they now have access to Canvas using an email template (see page 10). The web page with information for participants is at http://www.palmbeachstate.edu/academicservices/information-and-reference/faculty-development-online-course.aspx
The moderator will report course completions monthly to Human Resources and department supervisors as well as update the Online Faculty Credentialing Database.
