Canvas FAQs and Important Information
|
The Innovations in Learning team has created a Canvas FAQs page that houses all of our important, Canvas-specific information.
The FAQ includes information on questions like "when will my live course get added to Canvas?" And "How do I make my sandbox visible to students?" (spoiler alert: you don't.)
Please
consult the FAQ page
if you have any questions while you're getting ready for the Fall 2019 semester!
Looking for student resources?
We also have an Online Student Resources course available to all students through self-enrollment. This course has information on Canvas, NetTutor, Library resources, Collaborate Ultra, Kaltura, and more. It's a great resource for all students, with special care taken to support fully-online students.
The self-enrollment link
is available on the Canvas logins page.
Note: Live courses come into Canvas 30 days prior to the start of the semester. Keep an eye out for them given we're in the 30-day window. Please remember, the integration process takes a full day, so some courses may come in during the morning and some may not be in Canvas until the evening.

Book A Session in Our Brand New Interactive Video Studio!
|
Innovations in Learning has been busy this summer creating a multimedia room for instructional use. The room features high-end camera equipment and video editing software. The suite is designed for recording lectures and welcome videos.
In addition to the camera and editing equipment, Innovations also purchased a glass light board. This technology allows instructors to demo on the board while also lecturing to students. The camera's technology flips the image on the board so it's readable both to the instructor writing and the students watching the video.
Check out our quick preview, and email
Innovations@uwp.edu
if you're interested in learning more about the board or booking some recording time over the semester!
The space is also available for high-end welcome videos and other lecture captures, with or without the glass light board.

NetTutor now integrated with Canvas
|
NetTutor is now fully integrated with Canvas and is available on every single course navigation bar in Canvas, including the
Student Resources Course
.
If you do not plan on using Canvas to teach this Fall, you may want to suggest that your students self-enroll into the Student Resources Course so they still have access to NetTutor should they need it. (Note: this course also has student-facing documentation on Canvas, Kaltura, Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, and more!)
