Smarthinking
This utility (online tutoring) has
been removed from Canvas and will not be renewed. Instead, two new options for
tutoring now appear on your course sidebar: ACES and WritingLab.
These services reside in White Library. Students requesting tutoring should
contact one or both of these campus services. Online students can participate
in remote tutoring services provided through ACES.
CampusPack (Learning Objects)
This utility (blogs, wikis,
journals, podcasts) has been removed from Canvas and will not be renewed.
Instead, ….
Office365 + Canvas
….we are soliciting faculty who
would like to voluntarily pilot two new Canvas enhancements: Office365
and OneNote. We’re requesting faculty opt into these new utilities for
the Spring 2017 term during the pilot program. Here’s a little bit more about
them….
Office 365 + Canvas: https://goo.gl/PBJVh5 (Provides the
ability to add and collaborate using PowerPoint, Excel, and Word files through
Canvas and OneDrive.)
OneNote + Canvas: https://goo.gl/rhLJK2
(Provides the ability to journal and blog using OneNote – a surprisingly
powerful tool and supports multimedia.)
If you would like to participate in the pilot, please
contact one of the Instructional Designers (Mark, Anna, Joe) and request to be
included.
Panopto
The link for Panopto has changed to make it shorter and not
wrap onto two sidebar lines. It now reads Panopto Videos rather than Panopto
Recordings.
