How to use the Pulse application in your course and your program
For Students You begin by logging in to Pulse. (There is an instruction sheet directly below.) Once you are in Pulse, you will have access to the assignments, quizzes, grades, discussions, and more from all of your classes in one application. Now you can use your phone to do almost any of your work. Check your quiz grade on the bus. Reply to a discussion thread at the laundromat. Read a journal article while you wait for the pizza guy. |

For Instructors What do you need to do to make your class Pulse friendly? Not a whole lot. Pulse will pick up any assignment submission folder, content module, content topic, calendar item, checklist item, quiz, or survey with a due date. Also included are discussions forums and topics with end dates, grade items with new grades or scores, and any announcement item that was updated with the "major edit" checkbox. Most of these are probably things you are already doing anyway. |
