D2L Sunset - What You Need to Know
|
The first four-week summer session will be the
final
semester offered in D2L. As of July 1st, all courses must be offered through Canvas. Because of this, it's important to make sure you're saving all of your D2L content.
Here is a timeline of events:
- May 2019: All quizzes need to have been requested to be moved into Canvas from D2L. After May, the Innovations team will no longer be able to facilitate the transfer of quizzes.
- June 2019: All courses will be taught in Canvas. There will no longer be any courses taught through D2L.
- January 2020: All D2L content will need to be exported, saved, and imported into Canvas sandboxes by January 2020.
- June 2020: All access to D2L will be removed. Faculty, staff, students, and LMS administrators will permanently lose all access to D2L.

If you need content copied over from D2L to Canvas, please let us know as soon as possible so we can facilitate your request!

"Mosaic" pilot at Colorado State brings face-to-face and online students together
|
From a recent Campus Technology article, the College of Business at Colorado State is currently piloting a revolutionary technology that connects in-person students with remote students in real time.
The technology, branded "Mosaic" by the university, is housed in one classroom with tiles that can project the remote students in the room. During the in-class lectures, Mosaic interacts with all students, facilitating polls, discussions, questions, group work, and more between the face-to-face and online students.
The remote students are able to log into the course through a Google Chrome extension and receive the same real-time information that on-campus students do. They're also able to get the same live support from the instructor.

Canvas Tier 1 Support available 24/7
|
Instructors, please remember that Canvas Tier 1 Support is available 24/7, 365 days a year to answer any questions you may have about the learning management system.
Our administrative rights have changed in the migration from D2L to Canvas, so a lot of what we were able to assist with in the past has been limited.
Tier 1 Support is available through the Help menu on the black navigation bar within Canvas. You have the option to chat (instant message), call, or email Tier 1 Support.
Support is also available for your students, so please direct your students to Tier 1 Support if they have any questions or need assistance.
