Summer 2024 courses are now available in Canvas. If you are the instructor of record in Banner for a summer course(s), you should see that course(s) in Canvas now. If you do not, check with your department to make sure you are listed as the instructor in Banner. If you still have issues, email helpdesk@uah.edu to get assistance.

Fall 2024 courses will be available in early June. 

Join us at Teach 2 INCLUDE, UAH's annual educator conference, on Thursday, May 13th. This year's theme, "Inspiring Change with Learning Technologies," highlights how recent innovations foster inclusivity in classrooms. Register here. Cost is $20 for UAH personnel. CEUs can be earned. Lunch is included.

Starting with the Summer 2024 term, Canvas will automatically assign a 0 to any assignment without a submission when the due date passes.

As the instructor, you are able to overwrite this grade at any time. If your assignment does not have a due date, nothing will happen. This step was enacted to help students have a clearer understanding of their current grades. If you would like to adjust this in your course, contact ETLC at helpdesk@uah.edu for assistance.

Another Panopto archive is coming up in August. Make sure you have any recordings you want to keep downloaded or in a protected Master or Parent course in the Canvas LMS. Email helpdesk@uah.edu if you are not sure if your videos are protected.

On July 19 2024, Panopto will require Mac clients to upgrade to version 14.0.0. If you have downloaded Panopto to your Mac device, you will need to upgrade it to be able to use it.

Announcing the Course Design Review Process!

Faculty can now certify their courses, showcasing alignment with standards and best practices. This reflective process is a valuable addition to your FAR report, demonstrating commitment to excellence in teaching. To learn more about the process, click here or email helpdesk@uah.edu.

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you get ready to copy content into your course from another Canvas course:

• Reuse content from a previous semester or master course by importing that content into your fall Canvas course.
• If you plan to import content from a course that previously used Zoom, please watch this video tutorial BEFORE importing your course content.
• To cross-list (merge) courses, please contact helpdesk@uah.edu for assistance.

All profiles on classroom computers will be deleted on May 13th. If you have any files stored on a classroom computer, please retrieve before that date. NOTE: If you teach in a classroom after that date, it will take a few minutes when you log in the first time to rebuild the profile, so plan accordingly.

A study analyzing over 30 million assessment records from the University of Michigan reveals that students with last names starting with W, X, Y, and Z tend to receive grades around 0.6 points lower than those starting with the letters A, B, and C. This was attributed to unconscious changes in grading standards as instructors progressed. Keep that in mind as you finish your grading!
