Dear Faculty of Arts, <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, we are excited to share with everyone that the Arts Research, Scholarship and Creativity Network<\/span> <\/strong>is now ready to grow and thrive, and open for wider manual<\/u> enrollment for faculty and for requested<\/u> enrollment for students!\u00a0 Currently, there are already 60<\/strong> Network members!\u00a0 This inclusive Network aims to support faculty, students, and staff who are engaged in, or wish to become engaged in, research, scholarship, and creativity.\u00a0 The Network aims to provide a clearinghouse of resources; to facilitate mentorship connections; to promote collaborations and encourage synergies; to stimulate innovative thinking; to foster collegiality; and to raise awareness about the ways that research, scholarship, and creativity contribute to educational excellence. The Network, which is housed on Moodle, is integrated with PebblePad.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO JOIN THE NETWORK:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have outlined below the steps for creating your Network profiles and for manually enrolling in the Moodle. There are also instructions for how students can join.  To this end, we kindly request that you share the student-related instructions (and PDF document attached) by posting them on Moodle in your courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 1: CREATING YOUR PROFILE IN PEBBLE PAD:<\/u><\/strong> Please see the attached PDF document of instructions (\u201cHowto-PebblePad 2022\u201d), which includes a direct link to the template, to create your PebblePad profile. As per the instructions, you will need to email the URL link to your completed profile to ArtsNetwork@kpu.ca<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 2: SELF-ENROLLMENT FOR FACULTY IN THE NETWORK MOODLE<\/u><\/strong>:<\/strong> Once you have created your Network profile, please follow these steps for manually enrollment in the Network (for faculty): <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Link to the Network\u2019s Moodle page via this link: https:\/\/courses.kpu.ca\/course\/view.php?id=53036<\/a> <\/li>
  2. Log onto Moodle as you normally do by entering your KPU ID and password. <\/li>

    STEP 3: SHARE THE NETWORK WITH YOUR STUDENTS:<\/u><\/strong> Please share the PebblePad instructions (the attached PDF document) in your courses by uploading it to your Moodles, and inform your students about this opportunity to join the Network.  Once a student creates a profile and they email the link to ArtsNetwork@kpu.ca<\/a>, they will then be enrolled in the Moodle.
