Waymaker Course Ready Checklist

This checklist covers importing your course, reviewing and aligning content, setting up messaging tools, materials to add to your syllabus, setting up your gradebook, and student support resources.

Import Waymaker into your LMS

To begin, you need to have the LTI in place at your institution. If you are unsure if this has been done at your institution, connect with your Lumen representative or submit a ticket.

Review and Align Content

Note: If you are not the lead faculty member(s) responsible for maintaining your institution's course, skip this step.

We recommend using these five steps to preview the course content to align with your Waymaker course with your schedule and learning outcomes.

Find the learning outcomes in the “Course Contents” module. Compare your institution’s course outcomes to the Waymaker learning outcomes.
Decide which Waymaker course modules to include in your course.
Use the LMS tools to hide (unpublish) or delete any Waymaker modules you will not cover.
We recommend hiding content versus deleting just in case you want to use the material in the future. We have information on hiding, moving, publishing, and unpublishing study plan tiles here.
Use the LMS tools to organize the modules into the order of your course schedule.
If you are teaching for another term using our materials, you can copy your previous course using your LMS. We have information on how to copy your course here.

Set Up Messaging Tools

We have step-by-step instructions to set up and customize the messaging tools here.
You need to set up the messaging tools for EVERY section.

Set Up Your Gradebook

Set up your grade book for our quizzes and graded participation.

Here is information about the Graded Participation feature in Waymaker.
Use the LMS tools to set up point values, due dates, and customize your gradebook.
Use the LMS tools to add any additional content or learning activities you’d like to include.
We recommend the quizzes to be worth 20% of the student's overall grade and the study plan to be 5% of the student's overall grade.
