Phase II Adopters Training for Canvas now available
For those that were interested in adopting Canvas early but were unable to attend a Summer 2018 session to teach over Fall 2018, Phase II Adopter trainings will be available this fall for Canvas implementation over Spring 2019!

To sign up for one of our Fall 2018 trainings, please complete this survey.

Please also be aware that you will be unable to use Canvas unless you have attended a Canvas training.

If you are unable to attend a Fall 2018 training but would still like to migrate before Spring 2019, trainings will also be offered over Winterim, though dates are not set in stone just yet.
Students must self-enroll into Canvas Student Resources course
All Parkside students will have access to the Canvas Student Resources course in Canvas. This course is full of documentation and an interactive tutorial for students to reference.

Please make sure your students are aware that they must self-enroll in the Canvas Student Resources course; they will not auto-enroll into the course.

Online Instructors, remember the Closed Captioning Request Form!
If you're planning on using media in your online Fall course(s), please let us know as soon as possible!

Our team is ready to help you get your media captioned and transcribed for the semester.
The earlier you get your media to us, the more cost-effective the captioning services will be.

If your media has already been captioned from a previous semester, that's great! Then you're already almost done. Please only send us Closed Captioning Request Forms for new media.
Naming Conventions for Kaltura Media
Name your video based on the content. It should be broad enough to work every semester, but specific enough that you don't have trouble searching for it.

Examples
  • Cat Psychology: Yarn Attraction
  • History of Pizza: Pepperoni

Do not name your videos after a specific chapter, module, or semester. Keep the names broad so they can serve multiple semesters. If you restructure your course or the textbook changes, you'll need to rename all of your videos.

Examples:
  • Ch. 1: Cat Psychology [Su17]
  • Module 8, Chapter 8
  • Fall 2015 Unit 7
Two-Step Authentication (DUO) is coming!
Maintaining a secure computing environment is an important goal of Campus Technology Services. Pursuant to UW System Administrative Procedure 1030.A - Information Security: Authentication ( UW System Security Policies ), UW-Parkside will enable two-step authentication (Duo Security) in the 2018 Fall Semester.

A lot of personal information is required to make the University work and it’s all our responsibility to ensure that that information is protected from risks. With two-step authentication (Duo Security), we will be adding an extra layer of security to the entire campus to protect user logins from remote attacks that may exploit stolen usernames & passwords.

For more information about the DUO project, please visit the DUO webpage .
We understand that the 2018-2019 academic year may have its challenges as we manage the use of two learning management systems. The Innovations in Learning team is here to answer any questions you may have and provide support throughout the process. We thank you for your cooperation and patience as the UW System migrates to Canvas.
Be. Real. Amazing.
