{{TOC_Float_Right}}

Creating '''Rules''' within your [https://learn.winona.edu/Microsoft_Outlook Outlook] inbox helps to organize your emails into specific folders automatically.

==Creating a New Folder==

In the case that you are moving emails to a specific folder, you will need to create a new folder first. This new folder will be the designated spot for all the emails that follow your new rule. To create a new folder:

#Find the '''Organize''' tab at the top of the screen.
#Click '''New Folder''' in the top left.
#Name this new folder.
[[File:Creatingfolder.png | 400px]]

==Creating a Rule==
1. To create a new rule, '''right click''' on any message

2. Go down to '''Rules'''

3. Click on "'''Create Rule...'''"

[[File:Rule.png|500px]]

4. In the new dialogue box that pops up, there are a variety of settings you can change to fit to your preferences.
:4.1 At the very top, you can customize your rule name
[[File:Rulename.png|500px]]
:4.2 In the next box, there are three default settings that can be added or taken away. When you click the '''+''' sign, a new set of criteria will be added. When you click the '''-''' sign, the criteria will be taken away. You can add or subtract as many lines of criteria as you need.
[[File:Add-sub.png|500px]]
:: In the small box that says "'''Is'''" can also be changed to "'''Contains'''"
:::By setting it to <u>Is</u> - all emails from that address will follow your rule
:::By setting it to <u>Contains</u> - If there is more than one email address included, all emails that contain that specific email address will follow the rule.
:4.3 If you wish to add criteria, by default the new criteria will say '''Body'''. If you click it, a new drop down menu will appear with all the other options. You can customize them to your liking.
[[File:Body.png|500px]]
[[File:Ddm.png|500px]]

5. After all your criteria is set, the next box that says, "'''Do the following:'''" is what happens to the email. You can customize these settings just like the criteria settings. Look back at steps 4.1-4.3.
6. Click '''OK'''

==Example==
If you would like certain emails from somebody to go into a specific folder instead of your inbox, you can add their email address to the '''From''' line in the criteria.

1. If you need to create a new folder to move the emails to, make sure you do so before setting up the rule. Visit [[#Creating a New Folder|Creating a New Folder]]

2. To move it to a folder, make sure in the box "Do the following:" has '''Move to Folder''' selected.

[[File:mtf.png|500px]]

3. Select the name of the folder you want the email(s) to be moved to.

[[File:folderofc.png|500px]]

4. Click '''OK'''

Draft:Adjust grade visibility in Brightspace

2020-04-03T17:22:44Z

KBracken14: /* Teacher versus student grade view */

{{TOC_Float_Right}}
Instructors can choose to '''adjust grade visibility in Brightspace''' by restricting student access to grade items, specifying how grades are displayed (e.g., score, percentage, letter grade), and controlling how the final grade is calculated and when it's released.

==Teacher versus student grade view==
Instructors can view the entire grade book, with all students' grades displayed. Students can view their own grades in a report card format (Fig 1). Instructors control how grades are displayed (e.g., score, percentage, letter grade) in their view of the grade book and on the students' report card independently. For example, an instructor may choose to display the grade item's score and percentage in their grade book, but only the letter grade on their students' report cards. Instructors can also hide grades from students, removing them from the student's report card completely.
<gallery widths=800px heights=327px>

</gallery>

==Restrict student access to grade items==
To adjust the visibility restrictions on any grade item in your grade book, log in to your Brightspace course, select '''Grades''' from the Assessments menu. If you aren't there already, select the Enter Grades tab. Then...
#Select '''Edit''' from the grade item's context menu (Fig 2)
#Select the '''Restrictions''' tab
#Set the desired restrictions (Fig 3). You can hide the grade item from students (1), set the item to appear and/or disappear on a certain date, or set a more complex release condition (3; e.g., only display the grade to students if they complete another activity).
#Select '''Save and Close''' (4) to save your changes.

==Set default display properties for all grade items==
To adjust the default display properties for all grade items in your grade book, log in to your Brightspace course, select '''Grades''' from the Assessments menu. If you aren't there already, select the Enter Grades tab. Then...
#Select the '''Settings''' button in the upper right corner of the window
#Select the '''Personal Display Options''' tab (Fig 4) to set the default display options for you, the teacher. Select the '''Org Unit Display Options''' tab (Fig 5) to set the default display options for your students.

==Set unique display properties for a single grade item==
To override the default display properties for a selected grade item in either the instructor or student view, log in to your Brightspace course, select '''Grades''' from the Assessments menu. If you aren't there already, select the Enter Grades tab. Then...
#Select '''Edit''' from the grade item's context menu (Fig 2)
#In the Properties tab, scroll down to the bottom of the page and adjust the Display Options (Fig 6).
#Under Student View, select the '''Override display options for this item''' checkbox and select the information to be displayed to students for that grade item.
#Under Managing View, select the '''Override display options for this item''' checkbox and select the information that you want to see in your grade book view for that grade item.
#Select '''Save and Close''' to save your changes.

==Hide grade book columns==
Instructors can hide/show grade book columns (e.g., hide subtotal columns) for their own convenience. This will not affect your students' view of their grades. To hide/show a column in your grade book, log in to your Brightspace course, select '''Grades''' from the Assessments menu. If you aren't there already, select the Enter Grades tab. Then...
#Select Hide/Show Columns from the More Actions menu (Fig 7)
#Deselect the checkbox of the column you want to hide (Fig 8)

Draft:Microsoft PowerPoint Poster

2018-09-27T13:33:28Z

KBracken14: /* To Have Your Poster Printed */

[[File:poster.jpg|300px|left]]
__NOTOC__

==Need to Make a Poster?==
Need to create a poster or flyer but not sure what software to use? For basic posters Microsoft PowerPoint is an excellent tool to use. You can make professional looking posters quickly and easily. They can be converted to *.pdf easily.

==Important Things to Remember==
*You must resize your canvas BEFORE you begin designing your poster. Click on "Design and then "Page Setup". (The normal poster size is 24" by 36" - portrait).
*KIS - Keep it simple
*You can add graphics, text, tables, background colors, etc, to make your poster attractive. Be sure to follow copyright laws if you will be using music, video or graphics from the internet.
*Be careful when working with pictures and graphics. They may distort if you make them larger or smaller than they really are.
*When your poster is printed the colors may not match exact.
*The instructions below are for designing from scratch. There are PowerPoint poster templates available to use if you do not want to design one from scratch.
**Click on "File/New"
**In the search bar type in "poster" and hit "Enter"

Or Google for them. Some example sites below.
** https://www.genigraphics.com/templates
** https://templates.office.com/en-us/Posters

==Basics to Creating the Poster==
*Gather your contents in the form of text, graphs and photos
*Open PowerPoint, choose "New" and then "Blank Presentation". Click "OK"
*On the Toolbar - Go to "Design/Slide Size"
**Choose "Custom Slide Size" and set the width and height of your poster. For example, a typlical poster size is 24 in x 36 in and the orientation would be "portrait" Click on "OK"
***PowerPoint’s maximum size is 52”
*Click "Insert" on the toolbar, choose "Text Box". A text box drawing tool will appear on your PowerPoint slide. Click and drag to create the box. This is where you will place your prepared text. Simply cut and paste from Word (or another application) or type directly into the text box. The box will expand to fit the information entered. Remember to consider your font size and make it suitable for poster use. Font sizes of approximately 36 to 54 are recommended for titles, approximately 18 for text. Use your judgment for your specific poster needs. PowerPoint does not recognize all fonts; Arial and Times New Roman are recommended for use. Symbol is the font recommended for scientific symbols. To choose the characteristics of the text box such as line, color or size, go to "Format" in the toolbar or right click on the text box and select "Format Shape". You can copy and paste directly from Word documents into PowerPoint text boxes. We would suggest using black on a white background in text boxes for easy reading.
*To add logos, charts or photos, go to "Insert" in the menu bar and select "Pictures", and then browse to your file containing your charts or scanned and saved pictures. Double click on the desired picture to insert it.
*Once you have inserted your pictures, you can move or resize them to suit your needs. The dotted guide lines on the templates are there to tell you where on the sheet your boxes are and can help in getting things properly aligned. If you click and hold them, a box will appear giving the lines' locations on the sheet. You can then move them into position. They will not appear when the poster is printed. If the guide lines are not visible on your screen, select "View", then "Ruler", "Gridlines", and/or "Guides". You can also right click anywhere on the canvas and
*Once your text and pictures are in place, you may want to add some color and/or texture effects. The color options and background effects are found under Format on the toolbar.
*Save your poster as a PowerPoint file first ("File/Save As". Then, if you are going to have it printed at the Digital Learning Commons in Krueger Library you will need to save it as a PDF.

NOTE: Often just "right-clicking" on the canvas, text or picture will give you the options you are looking for.

==Saving to PDF==
*Save your completed poster in the PowerPoint format. If you are going to have this printed at The Digital Learning Commons you will need to save the file again as a PDF and submit the *.pdf to them.
**On a PC - File, Save as Adobe PDF
**On a Mac - [[PowerPoint (Mac)/Saving to PDF]]

==To Have Your Poster Printed==
*Please review the information on [https://www.winona.edu/technology/campus-printing.asp Campus Media Color Printing web page] for complete information.
*The Digital Learning Commons will only accept properly sized PDF files to print. You can email your file to mediaprojects@winona.edu. Please include full instructions.
**What is the size of the poster?
**Do you want it laminated?
**Will you pay by purple pass or cost center. Please provide cost center if that is your choice.
**Do you want any special trimming?
**Any other special instructions
