You can import the course into your own Learning Management System (LMS) or even use the course components directly in your classes, bypassing the LMS.
The course is available both through Canvas Commons, and Open Science Framework. If you use Canvas or some other Learning Management System, you can download the full course at the Canvas Commons Resource link. The course is structured so that it comes in as a single module and so will not disrupt the flow of the rest of your course. The full course can be imported directly into Canvas. If you use a different Learning Management System, some parts of the course may not import correctly. You will have to experiment to see what works. You can compare your import to the public course available at the above link.
Here is where to find the Canvas Resources for import into your own course.
The original files used to create the course are also available. These files, as well as a Canvas Export of the public course are available for download through Open Science Framework.
The following is a more complete description of the course.
Learn what makes a good scientific title with examples from Nature. The course uses short lectures (Page) and interactive content (Quizzes) to teach scientists how to write titles that convey the main message of their research. There is also a Discussion section where students can post their own titles and get feedback from the peers or the instructor. The course will take most students under one hour to complete. It is organized as a single module so that it can be easily imported to an existing course without disrupting the course flow or organization. In addition to the published content there are five unpublished quizzes. These are short answer questions in which the student is asked to write and submit a title for an abstract. If you use these questions, they will need to be added to the Course Modules and the instructor needs to grade the submissions.
