Thank you for those that participated in the canvas training survey. We are in the process of securing rooms for the trainings, but I wanted to give you information so you can plan. Full schedule will be provided no later than Monday, January 27.

When: Fridays  11:30-1pm, starting January 31

First training will be on the Gradebook, as requested in the survey.

Due to past participation, we found Fridays seemed to work the best for the majority of folks. We will also create short videos and information that can be found in the Faculty Resource Canvas classroom. If you are interested in this classroom, self-enroll.

The trainings will be on successive Fridays. Details soon.

December 4, 2013 by Leave a Comment

The Tegrity Lecture Capture license is up for renewal this year and The State Board has issued a RFP (Request for Proposals). One of the proposal requirements is that the vendor provides a method for transferring the existing Tegrity recordings.

Please let elearning@shoreline.edu  know if you have questions and we will keep you apprised of the renewal process.

Thank you.
