For a Successful Semester!

|
To our phenomenal Parkside faculty and staff, the Innovations in Learning team would like to thank you for all of your hard work and dedication during these unprecedented times. We know moving to remote instruction was not easy, but you rose to the challenge and our community of learners thanks you for that. We want you to know that your tireless efforts have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. If there is anything we can do to help you facilitate your finals next week, or to help you migrate content online for the summer sessions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you, again, for your tireless efforts to keep students at the forefront of everything we do here at the university. Innovations in Learning is grateful to work with all of you.

Check Kaltura Media for old player logos
|
The old version of Kaltura is going away, so please make sure to check all of your Kaltura embedded media before May 31st and notify Innovations in Learning if any of your videos contain an old, outdated player.
The IiL team has been going through and swapping out any outdated players, so you may not have any unless you're looking at an old version of a course.
If you see an outdated player, all you need to do is remove the current video and replace it with the updated video in your My Media, or contact Innovation. To the left you'll see the current and outdated versions of the Kaltura player.

Canvas Tier 1 Support available 24/7

With Finals Week fast-approaching, it's important to remember how all faculty, staff, and students can get
immediate
support for Canvas.
Canvas offers Tier 1 Support 24/7, 365 days a year. If you have a question about Canvas or need help, please contact Tier 1 Support first as they are able to impersonate accounts and troubleshoot directly, something our admin team is unable to do.
You can access Tier 1 Support by logging in to Canvas and clicking on the Help button located at the bottom of the gray left hand navigation bar. You can search the
Canvas Guides
, chat online, email, or call. The phone number for student support is: 1 (833) 820-4070
