We encourage all teachers to familiarize themselves with instructions for conducting courses using the Google Classroom platform. For the winter semester 2021/2022, all courses (including but not limited to lectures, classes, seminars, foreign language courses and physical education) must be created in the Google Workspace e-learning platform formerly known as G Suite for Schools and Universities (Google Classroom), regardless of whether they are held remotely or on-campus.

Due to:

• formal requirements related to archiving and reporting for accreditation purposes,

• integration with student accounts in the uekat domain and with e-mail,

• the scale of courses conducted in the previous semester, and thus the experience of staff and the materials/instructions prepared,

• accessibility and ease of use,

• previous experience with courses realized online

Google Workspace platform, and in particular Google Classroom, will act as the primary communication platform between lecturers and students. Other tools, including the Moodle platform, may only play a supplementary role in relation to Google Classroom. If teaching materials are made available through another platform, students should be informed of that fact via classes created in Google Classroom.  

Google Classroom - conducting courses

1) BEFORE TEACHING CLASSES

Creating and naming classes

Before starting the teaching process in Google Classroom, classes should be created. All lectures and exercises for each student group, should be entered as a separate class and named according to the template:

Name: abbreviationofthestudyprogram_lecturename e.g. FiR_BasicMarcoeconomics_SN

Note: in case of lectures you should add SS - full-time programs or SN - part-time programs. 

Name: abbreviationofthestudyprogram_exercisesname_GROUP e.g.: GiZP_BasicsofManagement_GC08

Teachers are required to add individual tasks/meetings in the created classes (e.g., the next lecture or exercises), according to the timetable, even if the individual lectures, exercises, etc. will not be taught using the Google Classroom platform. Individual tasks should include the following information: the name of the lecture/exercises, etc., the teaching materials, and a link with an invitation to participate in the specific task (meeting) on the Google Meet platform.

Teaching materials for students preparing for the task (meeting) or links to them should be made available on the Google Classroom platform well in advance of the planned classes, at dates agreed upon with the students, while the materials from a given task (meeting) - at the latest 1 day after the completion of the task (meeting).
