PILOT (2021-22)

These instructions are for Ferris professors explaining how to import PILOT into their Ferris courses

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR FACULTY ONLY!

These instructions are for PROFESSORS only. Students cannot add PILOT to Canvas themselves; it must be added to your course. If you have questions, please contact Stacy Anderson at StacyAnderson@ferris.edu.

PILOT is now in Canvas Commons

All PILOT modules as well as the pre- and post-tests are now located in the Canvas Commons so that it can be fully integrated in your Canvas course shell.

Both the pre- and post-tests as well as the unit quizzes are set as practice quizzes with zero points. If you would like to assign grades and/or points to the quizzes, you may modify that information after you import the module into your Canvas shell.
