Instructional Technology Resources & Tips
As the new semester begins at UW-Parkside, we want to remind you of a number of resources available to assist with online teaching and learning.

This course was built so that faculty and staff have all of the important instructional technology tutorials, documents, and updated information in one convenient place within Canvas.

This course focuses on instructional technology that the Innovations in Learning team supports (Canvas, Kaltura, Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, etc.), but if anything is missing from the course that you need information about, please contact 
innovations@uwp.edu and the team will help you find what you're looking for and help get the support you need!

Additionally, if you are not already enrolled in the course, you can self-enroll into the course here.
Kaltura Error: Unauthorized Country Message
The Innovations in Learning team is aware of a Kaltura error you may experience when trying to access embedded media in your course(s).

If you receive the error “Unauthorized Country: We’re sorry, this content is only available in certain countries” that means your videos are pulling from the old Kaltura server.

To correct the error, you just need to re-embed the media within Canvas. If you aren't sure how to re-embed your videos, you can also email Innovations@uwp.edu with a list of videos that need to be re-embedded.
Adding Students to Canvas Courses
As a reminder, we are unable to manually enroll students into Canvas courses. Students are added to Canvas courses automatically once they've enrolled in the course through Solar.

Once a student has enrolled in your course through Solar, it will take between 24-48 hours for the student to populate your Canvas roster, depending on when the student enrolled and when the overnight integration runs.

We encourage you to send students the course syllabus and any materials they need to get up to speed in your course via email until they're added to your course roster directly.

Online Course Developers Workshop Applications
If you had applied to be part of the Online Course Developers Workshop for the summer of 2021, please email TLC@uwp.edu to confirm your application.

The Teaching & Learning Center email distribution list recently changed hands and unfortunately existing applications were lost in that transition phase.

You can also contact Innovations in Learning to confirm that your application has been received. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Setup a Practice Quiz in Canvas Before Using Proctoring Tools
If you’re using Respondus or Honorlock in any of your courses this semester, be sure to set up a repeatable, proctored, practice quiz ahead of time in Canvas!

Give your students a chance to test your course’s proctoring tool on their computer before they need it on a real quiz or exam. The last thing anybody wants before a test is to be panicked because their device can’t run the necessary proctoring software! Let them figure it out ahead of test time so it can be preemptively addressed.

If you need help setting up a practice quiz in Canvas, feel free to email innovations@uwp.edu and someone from the team will walk you through the process.

Major in you.
