Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

As a class, establish course norms, then model these for students. This could include processes for communication, expectation of inclusion, division of labor in group work, and so on.
Create intervals to check in during the semester. Use an email template to check on students' personal and academic well-being.
Use transparency to pull back the curtain on the hidden curriculum. Why are you assigning various assignments and readings? How much effort do you expect from the students on discussion posts, assignments, participation? What should they use to complete their assignments?
