Online Student Resources Course
|
The Innovations in Learning team has created a robust online resources course for all students to self-enroll into.
Not only will you have access to Canvas resources, but there's also support documentation on NetTutor, Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, Kaltura, library resources, and more.
The course is a great resource if you have any questions about using online technologies while enrolled at UW-Parkside. Please
click here to self-enroll in the course
, or access the self-enrollment link from the Canvas logins page.
Note: If you had already enrolled in the Canvas Student Resources course previously, don't worry. This course is just adding additional resources to that existing course, so you won't need to re-enroll into anything new.

Wearable technology from Amazon?
|
A new article from
The Guardian
spotlights the innovative technology being developed by Amazon. Imagine being able to take your Echo Dot and Alexa with you everywhere you go. Well, that's the idea behind Amazon's new wearable technology. At a Seattle event last Wednesday, Amazon debuted smart glasses, rings, and ear buds that give you access to Alexa on the go.
The ear buds are wireless and will be widely released soon, in competition with Apple's wireless AirPods. The glasses and rings, however, will have a limited trial release first.
What do you think? Would you wear any of this brand new technology?

Reminder: Download the Canvas Student App

Did you know that there is a Canvas mobile app for students? Download Canvas Student on your mobile device to access your courses wherever you are!
You can keep track of your course calendars, submit assignments, take quizzes, and more all from the palm of your hand! (Though we don't necessarily recommend the quiz part due to potential errors.) This is a great way to track your Canvas notifications such as when a new grade gets posted or when your instructor makes an announcement.
Just search for “Canvas Student” in Google Play or App Store!
