All Courses now officially in Canvas
All UW-Parkside courses will be hosted in Canvas from this point forward.

Please keep an eye out for student resources in the August and September newsletters. We'll be creating a brand new resources course with information on Canvas, as well as third party tools for online learning.

If you ever have questions about Canvas or how to use some of the functionality, please remember that Tier 1 Support is available 24-7, 365 days a year . You can chat, call, or email directly with Tier 1 Support. The support resources are located under the Help menu on the black navigation bar.

NEW 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.
‌
NetTutor is now available in Canvas
NetTutor is now fully integrated with Canvas and is available in every single course navigation bar in Canvas, including the Student Resources Course.

If you find that none of your instructors are using Canvas this semester, please self-enroll into the Student Resources Course listed above, and you will have access to NetTutor indefinitely.

NetTutor functions the same way it did in D2L if you were familiar with the tool previously. Use the tutoring software to get help on a wide variety of subjects including math, English, science, and more. You can also submit papers to NetTutor for feedback.

To learn more about NetTutor , visit the webpage under the Parkside Academic Resource Center.

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!
