** Not long now! Spring session begins in FOUR weeks! Have you started preparing your vUWS? Never fear, Learning and Teaching is here! **

Check out our weekly checklists we created to ensure your site is ready for the start of session.

Your tasks for the week:
- Upload new or revised content utilising H5P and other tools available in the Digital Learning Toolkit (https://lf.westernsydney.edu.au/engage/tech-guide/h5p).
- Ensure you create content which is inclusive to all students. Find out more on how to use Blackboard Ally and create accessible Digital Learning content (https://lf.westernsydney.edu.au/engage/tech-guide/blackboard-ally-accessible-digital-learning-content).
- Add a Zoom LTI link to your vUWS site enabling both instructors and students to directly access and launch Zoom meetings and recordings from within vUWS (https://lf.westernsydney.edu.au/engage/tech-guide/zoom-lti).
- Add your recordings to Panopto and embed or link your videos to your learning modules (https://lf.westernsydney.edu.au/engage/tech-guide/panopto-videos).
