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.

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:

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!
