Canvas + Zoom
Working in concert with
technologists from the University of New Hampshire, ESU is close to having
automatic ZOOM recording upload capability into Canvas. This handshake utilizes
Kaltura (eg My Media). In order to make this work, however, some setup needs to
occur within the ZOOM admin console for each faculty user. Contact one of the
Instructional Designers for information regarding this capability.
Tell Your Story
Are you interested in learning how
to use Canvas better? Or perhaps you want to share an idea of how you use
Canvas. What better way than to hear from your fellow faculty. Join us for Tell
Your Story on March 10th. This one-day event will include a
series of mini-presentations from faculty. For more information and a sign-up
form, see: http://www.emporia.edu/it/learning/tell-your-story
We strongly encourage faculty to submit a presentation for one of the 12
mini sessions. Some nice ESU swag or gift certificates will be given to
the selected presenters! Anyone is welcome to attend this free learning
event.

2016-2017 ESU
Faculty/Student Technology Survey
In November, a technology survey was conducted for the ESU
student and faculty population. The survey was based on a national study
conducted each year by EDUCAUSE, an organization that helps those who lead,
manage, and use information technology to shape strategic IT decisions at every
level within higher education. To see the results of those surveys, refer to: http://www.emporia.edu/it/learning/research.html
Credly + Canvas
Credly Microcredentials now integrates into Canvas! This
allows for rule-based pathways that trigger the award of digital badges. For
information on how to set up this integration, contact one of the Instructional
Designers.
