Course Materials for Online Courses
DEN's Instructional Support Center provides assistance in converting and posting notes created in your class. Whether the notes are handwritten or electronic, the Instructional Support Center can digitize the notes to Adobe Acrobat PDF, a widely-used format, for your students and colleagues to review.
Course
Material Posting Procedure
- Turn in
your lecture notes and handouts to the Instructional Support Center (OHE 142) before or after class. If you have digital notes please post them directly to your course page on Blackboard. You may also email the file to dennotes@usc.edu at least 24 hours before expected post time, if it must be converted to SMARTBoard or PDF prior to posting.
- Fill out
the proper Document Submittal form provided by the Instructional Support Center
with your instructions regarding scanning and posting. If you
are e-mailing a file, please provide specific instructions along
with the course number and the file name.
- Lecture
notes will be posted in the 'DEN Documents' link under the 'Course
Documents' section of your DEN Blackboard course page on the same business
day.
SMARTBoard
Electronic Notes
- After class,
save SMARTBoard notes in your course folder (ex. 'EE 555') located
in the "My Documents" folder on the desktop of the classroom computer*.
- The Instructional
Support Center will convert your SMARTBoard file into a universally readable Adobe Acrobat
PDF document.
- The PDF
document will be posted in the 'DEN Documents' link under the
'Course Documents' section of your course page on the same business
day.

Please remember to "Save" your file and then "Close"
SMART Board before leaving the classroom. Click
