Beginning of Fall Quarter
Fall quarter begins on Wednesday, September 23, 2015. Please remember to “Publish” your Canvas Course so students can access your content, receive your Announcements and Messages. You can publish fully online courses anytime, from now until 9am on Wednesday, September 23. Click here for detailed instructions on publishing your course.
If you need a refresher on how to copy content from one Canvas classroom into your new quarter’s shell, you can find full instructions here.
Cross-Listing Courses
Do you teach multiple sections of one course and want to have all of your students put into one Canvas classroom? Just send an email to elearning@shoreline.edu and include your course names and item numbers to be combined and we’ll take care of it.
Student Orientation to Canvas & eLearning
Here are the scheduled dates and times for orientations for your students. Feel free to put this info in your course, announcements, syllabus, etc. We will also be posting a Canvas Global Announcement for students. We are always happy and available to help students anytime in eLearning so send them to us! We also can come to your classroom and work with students. Let us know how we can help. We have also attached a copy of a flyer advertising the sessions to use in your Canvas Classroom or to print/post. Thanks!

Tuesday, Sept. 22, 1:30-2:30 p.m. in Room 1302 If you have opened Canvas this week you will have noticed a more colorful and different Dashboard. This change has made Canvas more “responsive” and easier for students to view on mobile devices. The main changes: The Dashboard used to show a list of “Recent Activity.” It now shows the courses that you have put into the “Courses” dropdown menu. These are represented by the colored tiles. If you prefer the list of Recent Activity, you can “toggle” the tile view back to a list view using the button at the top of the page. PLEASE NOTE: The Help button is now located at the bottom of the left hand navigation menu, and links to our Shoreline Canvas 24/7 Help are still at the bottom of each page. Here is a link to a short captioned video showing you how it works. Other than the menu remaining on the far left, this change will have no impact on your course design, content or how things function once you and your students are inside your classroom. It only impacts the Canvas Dashboard. Faculty Training We are holding an Open Lab session for Faculty: We are also hosting Canvas Training for New Faculty & Open Lab for Returning Faculty during Opening Week in Room 1301 Friday, Sept. 18 from 10-10:50 a.m. eLearning Open House Looking for a great conference? Let us know if you have questions or need help anytime – eLearning@shoreline.edu or 206-546-6966. Thank you, eLearning Services |
