Featured Content
A key message such as why a certain step in a process is critical might be in a green or grey box.
You can find more information on creating consistency with your featured content through the faculty how-to featured content page.

NOTE: When inserting Images, please use D2L's built in editor "insert" components. This allows you to save images and files in the correct folders by selecting the "Choose Destination" button (this helps avoid broken links). Please make sure you are saving files and images in their corresponding week/module folders.
When inserting an image it is important to specify "Alternative Text". This is a mandatory step in being AODA compliant. Keep in mind it's good practice to:
- keep "alternative text" under 200 characters
- never have large blocks of text as an image

Practice Activity
The practice activity is a way for students to apply their new knowledge and skills. Retrieval practice provides students with an opportunity to pull information from their brains rather than pushing information into their brains. Formative assessments (or practice) such as a short quiz or a discussion post are a few ways students can practice. Try to scaffold practice activities that built towards skills required for an upcoming assignment, this provides students an opportunity to develop and strengthen their new knowledge and skill towards a summative assessment.
