Faculty, TA, & RA Resources
Course Documents posted online using Docutek
Faculty are encouraged to create a course on our online course management system called Docutek. This will allow you to post your syllabus, to post readings and presentations for students to read, and to send messages to or hold discussions with your students online. You can also request that library staff scan materials for posting on Docutek, and library staff can also help you with posting PowerPoint presentations or other multimedia materials.
To go to the Docutek Web site, click on the link at the bottom of the PGSP Web site homepage at http://www.pgsp.edu or use this URL: http://pgsp.docutek.com
To create a course on Docutek, first email Christine Kidd, Library Director and VP of Information Services at ckidd@pgsp.edu or phone her at 650-421-4807 for a faculty login to Docutek. Then speak with either Christine Kidd or the librarian Scott Hines shines@pgsp.edu or phone at 650-421-4855) for info and help in creating a course and uploading or faxing photocopied articles to your course on Docutek.
If you like, your TA can handle the creation and management of a course on Docutek, but they will also need to speak with Christine Kidd about getting a TA login to Docutek.
When you set up or maintain your course on Docutek, you will log in as an instructor administrator. We encourage you to set a password on your course so that students will also be required to login to your course. This is important in order to satisfy copyright requirements of materials posted for educational use on Docutek. Instructions on how to log in and how to set the password will be available to you when you sign up for a login with Christine Kidd or by emailing or calling the librarian Scott Hines.
For setup of Docutek accounts to post documents for student use in your courses, see Christine Kidd to get an account login.
For help with setting up, troubleshooting, and best using Docutek, see the librarian Scott Hines
For help with scanning documents to PDF format for posting on Docutec, see the librarian Scott Hines or see Geeta Patangay in the library office.
TAs can also get help with scanning and setting up courses and using Docutek from the librarian Scott Hines.
