"
Fall Semester, 2016, I was contacted by Distance Education regarding a tool for students called SmarterMeasure. This online tool helps each student assess their personal learning readiness for higher education as well as hybrid and technology rich courses. It provides detailed feedback and resources to each student.
SmarterMeasure will be piloted in our Spring APSU 1000 classes; Distance Education staff have met with faculty individually and in small groups, loaded Smarter Measure into D2L shells and are an ongoing source of assistance. Distance Education is a fabulous resource for faculty and staff and provide valuable training and resources to us. "

MY MEDIA WEB AND SCREEN RECORDING UPDATE
|
|
|
We are excited to announce CaptureSpace Lite is now available in the My Media widget in D2L! CaptureSpace Lite is an easy way for faculty to create screen, webcam, and audio recordings all using D2L. Easy edits such as chopping, trimming, and titles/credits can be added using this new tool. As of January 30, 2017, the Screen Recording and Webcam Recording option in My Media will no longer be available, as it is being replaced with CaptureSpace Lite. Videos that were previously created using Screen Recording and Webcam Recording option will still be available in your My Media.
For more information on Capture Space Lite, please contact online@apsu.edu
