Instructional Designer eTips 

1. Do not assign any new activities that are not already listed in the syllabus.
2. Spend the last third of the course catching up with grading, feedback and “other,” in preparation for closing out the course on time.
3. Give the class a heads-up that the course is ending at least 7 days in advance of the official end date.
4. Allow students a chance to “wrap up” in the final week of class.
5. Remind students 3 to 4 days in advance of the class’ end:
   -- When all activities are due.
   -- When and where they will find their grades/feedback.
   -- On what approximate day their grade will be available on their unofficial transcript for those who want to know their final grade and/or for those who need reimbursement documentation for participation in professional development, etc.
6. Request that all students complete the course evaluation survey to further enhance the class for future participants.
7. Assist individuals in the self-curation of the course materials (e.g., instructor and student) as much as possible.
8. Help guide students in the completion or assembly of an electronic portfolio of class artifacts.
9. Encourage the class’ peer learners to establish post-course networks.
10. Make sure to say “Good bye!” and to provide your contact information from the syllabus for professional follow-up, etc.
