"Hologram" lecturers at Imperial College London
Would you attend a lecture that didn't have a "real" person at the front of the classroom teaching you?

At Imperial College London, they're piloting technology that does just that. While the technology itself cannot be deemed a true hologram, a projection of the lecturer does create the same type of visual effect.

The technology aims to make it easier to accommodate high-demand presenters and guest lecturers, making it so the same lecture could be presented across campus and even the globe.

Self-Enroll in the Canvas Student Resources training course
All Parkside students will have access to the Canvas Student Resources course in Canvas, even if you do not have a course hosted in Canvas this semester.

The course is full of documentation and an interactive tutorial for you to reference should you have any questions about the new learning management system.

The Canvas Student Resources course will not populate for you automatically, though. You will have to self-enroll into the training course using this self-enroll link .

If you do not want to self-enroll into the course, you are able to access the interactive tutorial through the UWP website .
Reminder: Canvas Tier 1 Support available
Canvas offers Tier 1 Support for all faculty and students 24/7, 365 days a year. If you have a question about Canvas or need help finding something, please contact Tier 1 Support first as they are able to impersonate accounts and troubleshoot directly, something our admin team is unable to do.

You can access Tier 1 Support by logging in to Canvas and clicking on the Help button located at the bottom of the gray left hand navigation bar. You can search the Canvas Guides , chat online, or call.
Canvas Support Phone Numbers:
  • Faculty: 1 (833) 826-8712
  • Students: 1 (833) 820-4070
