3. Bootcamp Overview

Bootcamp is organized around 4 main themes and work (1 per day):

  1. Scan (your course, fearlessly, through a few key lenses) and Plan (your Bootcamp work) 
  2. Lectures (& alternatives)
  3. Assessments - assignments, exams, etc.
  4. Online Presence & Engagement

And each day more or less includes these activities:

  • Daily Bugle a message, posted to the Announcements forum (which also emails you). This includes a reminder of "what's on" today, and usually a funny tidbit or two.
  • Daily Warm-up - this is a short, fun individual activity designed to get you going and give you exposure to some new ideas and tools to try in your course
  • Challenges - each day has 1 or more challenges that correspond to the theme. The idea is you will work individually on your own challenge and apply it to your course.
  • Morning session - 10:00am Pacific. Depending on the day, this will be more or less structured - one day it will be a live demo or presentation, and another day it will be drop-in time office hours for anyone who wants to connect and get help. BYO Coffee!
  • Daily Debrief - 4:00pm Pacific. This is another drop-in time to get help and connect with others. BYO Beverage
  • Daily Check out - This is a brief individual activity to be posted any time your Bootcamp day ends.
