Description

This talk presents various facets of converting a high-enrollment course about flowers (PLS006) into a version that can be delivered entirely as asynchronous online. Presentation includes a brief overview of PLS006 and how it was delivered in the past using Canvas. Video recordings were produced in various ways, including Lecture Capture, as well as video editing tools. The process of using the Integrated Curriculum Management System (ICMS) to formally make the conversion and get PLS006V launched is also discussed.
