Records of the university have specific characteristics that other documents do not have. This tool describes four criteria to use to determine if you are working with records of the university. This training resource includes three related files: an audio file (5 min 45), a written script of the audio, and a visual graphic. Music rights are different from recording rights, but the music being performed by the pipe band during convocation is in the public domain.

Records management is all about how long to keep records, who keeps them, and what happens to them at the end of their "life". All of this information can be found in the university's retention schedules (aka "RRSDAs"). Retention schedules have several parts, and it might take some practice to learn how to read and apply them. This training resource includes several related files: two audio file, including a long version (12.5 minutes) and a shorter version (7.5 minutes), a written transcript of each audio, and a link to an interactive document stored on ThingLink. The purpose is to give staff multiple ways to interact with the key records management question, "How do I read a retention schedule?". Music rights are different from recording rights, but the music being performed by the pipe band during convocation is in the public domain.

In this podcast episode, we look at the basics of naming conventions. We discuss what should be put in every file title, and what to NEVER put in a file title. This training resource includes several related files: an audio file (7 min), a written transcript of the audio, a graphic titled "Document Naming conventions" and a link to the audio file on SoundCloud. The purpose is to give staff multiple ways to interact with the key records management question, "How do I name digital records?". Music rights are different from recording rights, but the music being performed by the pipe band during convocation is in the public domain.

We proposed to create a clicker question bank for a third-year undergraduate course in numerical analysis (MACM 316). The purpose of this question bank is three-fold. First, we aimed to better engage students in the MACM 316 classroom. This course is taught mostly in a lecture style and many students struggle with the material. We believed that providing the students with some opportunity for more active interaction in lectures will go a long way towards keeping their attention, engaging them more with the material, and encouraging them to reflect more deeply on important concepts. Secondly, we wanted to gauge students’ understanding of prerequisite material as well as determining which new concepts introduced in lecture require further explanation. To this end, we aimed to focus on developing two types of questions: “warm-ups” that focus on prerequisite material and are given at the start of class; and deeper concept tests that attempt to measure how well ideas just presented in lecture have been assimilated. Thirdly, having such a well-designed and comprehensive bank of questions that is openly accessible should (we hope) also encourage other instructors at SFU and elsewhere to implement them in their lectures.
