September 14, 2015 by Leave a Comment

You can publish fully online courses anytime, from now until 9am on Wednesday, September 23.  Click here for detailed instructions on publishing your course.

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!

New Dashboard in Canvas

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 buttons that used to be at the top of your Canvas screen now run down the left hand side.  This was done to give more room to the actual Canvas content pages.

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:
If your Canvas page is reduced in width, the course menu will be hidden and replaced with three horizontal lines on the top breadcrumb trail. Click on the icon to bring it back.

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 here anytime if you need help with, or instruction in, using Canvas, Panopto, Quality Matters, Accessibility in online content and more!  Call or email to set up an appointment.  We also have some training sessions planned for you.

We are holding an Open Lab session for Faculty:
Tuesday, Sept. 15 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. in Room 1401

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.
Monday, Sept. 21 from 11-11:50 a.m. and 1-2:20 p.m.

eLearning Open House
We will be hosting an Open House on Friday afternoon, 9/18, during Opening Week.  Exact times to be posted on the Opening Week master schedule.  We will have stations set up around the 1200 building that show some exciting improvements in Canvas, Panopto, and much more!  Refreshments too!

Looking for a great conference?
NW eLearning Conference will be held in Olympia this year – October 22 and 23.  It’s an excellent regional conference with many great speakers/topics.  You can check out the draft session line up here.  eLearning Services will cover expenses (including registration, hotel, travel, etc.) that are over your Professional Development monies.  Contact elearning@shoreline.edu if you would like to attend.

Let us know if you have questions or need help anytime – eLearning@shoreline.edu or 206-546-6966.

Thank you,

Screen Shot 2015-09-14 at 10.00.48 PM
Northwest based singer/songwriters Reggie Garrett, Jim Page and Sam Weis are scheduled to perform at the Columbia City Theater located in the Columbia City neighborhood. The concert is scheduled for Thursday Septrember 17th at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $15 (door) or $10 (advance). The Columbia City Theater is located at 4916 Rainier Avenue S. For more information call: 206.722.3009.

Garrett is an instructor in the CEO Program here at SCC. In addition to that he has managed to become an icon of the Northwest Folk & Acoustic music scene over the years. He currently has five CD releases to his credit with his band Reggie Garrett & the SnakeOil Peddlers and as half of the Garrett & Westcott duo. However, he will perform solo for this show. Page has written, performed and travelled tirelessly over the years to become the political and social “conscience” of the Northwest. His songs are always topical and thought provoking. Weis has honed her craft to become a virtuoso of the mighty 12-string guitar and is also an accomplished visual artist.

The Columbia City Theater has been beautifully restored and has emerged as a premier concert venue in the Seattle area. Three of Seattle’s finest singer/songwriters join together for a rare performance, in one of the best venues in town! Not to be missed!
