Between the Lines is our quarterly book club that meets on Wednesdays.
This year the group is reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, which tells a riveting story about the life of Henrietta Lacks and her family and the “untold story of how her cells were taken without her knowledge and have become one the most important tools in medicine”.
Here is more information about Between the Lines book club.

Canvas GradeBook Training Session
April 14, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Beginning tomorrow, eLearning Services will be offering four training sessions on the use of Canvas Gradebook. The goal of the sessions is two-fold: first, encourage you to use the gradebook as a means to keep students informed on the progress of their class; second, provide you with a better understanding of how gradebook settings impact students’ view of their grades. For your convenience, we will be offering the training sessions in four different locations. All sessions will be held from 12 – 1 p.m. and, during that time, an instructional designer will present the basic settings of the Canvas gradebook and answer questions related to student view of the Grades tool.
- Tuesday, April 15 in Room 1724
- Wednesday, April 16 in Room 2346
- Thursday, April 17 in Room 5386
- Friday, April 18 in Room 2946
If none of the times above are suitable for you, do not hesitate to contact eLearning Services and schedule an individual consultation.
We hope you can join us!
