Shoreline CC Faculty OER Institute 2023

The Shoreline CC Library and eLearning are hosting the first-ever OER (Open Educational Resources) Institute for Shoreline Community College faculty in Winter/Spring 2023! This is a paid opportunity through the Shoreline CC Innovation Fund for you to create or incorporate OER in your classroom.

Here is the url to the application form. Applications are due by Friday, November 4th. Applicants will be notified by Friday, November 18th. The institute will take place via Canvas (including asynchronous and some synchronous content) in Winter 2023 and continues through Spring 2023.

Here is a link to the Opening Week 2023 SCC OER Faculty Institute presentation slides for more details.

Please also contact Caitlan Maxwell, cmaxwell@shoreline.edu if you have questions about the institute. Feel free to contact us in the library or in eLearning if you have any general questions about OER (doesn’t have to be related to the institute) as well! We’d love to hear from you!

Tidy-Up Party 7/19 1-3pm

TidyUP makes it easy to identify unpublished pages, delete outdated content and remove empty folders in Canvas. Have you ever tried to manually find and delete unused files or unpublished pages in Canvas?  It’s not easy.

Specifically, TidyUP allows you to do the following in any Canvas course:

  • Identify and delete all files that are not being used in your course.
  • See what files are being used in your course and where they are being used.
  • Find empty folders in the files section of your course and delete them.
  • View a list of all your Canvas pages, assignments, quizzes or discussions with information about each page and the ability to delete multiple pages at once

Come and work with your fellow faculty members and eLearning department. It’s a little bit of clean-up magic and a whole lot of awesome.  If you have any questions, please email us at support@shoreline.edu or visit https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84228732138
