WEBVTT
1
00:00:05.110 --> 00:00:09.600
And just a reminder that the only contact
2
00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:12.450
that we're able to have with the vendor
3
00:00:12.450 --> 00:00:15.460
is during this open session.
4
00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:18.340
So if you have questions that come up afterward,
5
00:00:18.340 --> 00:00:21.420
you can funnel those to myself or to Wendy,
6
00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:23.610
and then we can get those through purchasing
7
00:00:23.610 --> 00:00:24.970
and routed over to the vendor
8
00:00:24.970 --> 00:00:27.893
to respect the integrity of the RFP process.
9
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:31.090
The format we'll be following today
10
00:00:31.090 --> 00:00:34.570
is we'll have a 15-minute or so introduction
11
00:00:34.570 --> 00:00:37.810
from the Canvas team.
12
00:00:37.810 --> 00:00:40.490
And then we'll be going into the use cases
13
00:00:40.490 --> 00:00:42.960
that were provided to the team ahead of time.
14
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.960
So these use cases, I'll post a link to those.
15
00:00:48.540 --> 00:00:51.240
Those are on the blog here.
16
00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:04.340
Okay, so the use cases consists of typical situations
17
00:01:05.130 --> 00:01:10.130
that UVM Faculty might use the LMS.
18
00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:14.230
So they represent different situations
19
00:01:14.230 --> 00:01:16.560
that we have called from the focus groups
20
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.560
and the feedback that we've received
21
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.860
as we've developed this RFP.
22
00:01:20.860 --> 00:01:23.030
So you can refer to those by looking at the URL
23
00:01:23.030 --> 00:01:24.890
that I just put in the chat.
24
00:01:24.890 --> 00:01:27.040
The other thing that is at this URL
25
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.010
that I wanted to direct your attention to
26
00:01:29.010 --> 00:01:31.360
is the feedback survey.
27
00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:34.350
And this feedback survey is linked here,
28
00:01:34.350 --> 00:01:38.050
you can fill it out during the session or afterward,
29
00:01:38.050 --> 00:01:40.140
but that kind of information is really valuable
30
00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:44.990
to the coordinating committee, as we compile the impressions
31
00:01:44.990 --> 00:01:48.380
of all the folks who have attended the different demos
32
00:01:48.380 --> 00:01:49.380
throughout the week.
33
00:01:50.390 --> 00:01:54.780
And let's see, so 15-minute intro, 60 minutes on use cases,
34
00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:57.130
and then we'll allow about 45 minutes at the end
35
00:01:57.130 --> 00:01:59.170
for question and answer
36
00:01:59.170 --> 00:02:03.133
and you can also put questions in the chat as we go along.
37
00:02:03.970 --> 00:02:06.870
And I will now turn it over to the instructor team
38
00:02:06.870 --> 00:02:08.250
to introduce themselves.
39
00:02:08.250 --> 00:02:11.580
And take it away, Dave and Amineh. Thank you.
40
00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:12.460
Awesome, thanks Alex.
41
00:02:12.460 --> 00:02:14.210
Thank you everyone from the University of Vermont
42
00:02:14.210 --> 00:02:16.160
for giving us your time here on a Friday.
43
00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:17.210
I know it's been a long week.
44
00:02:17.210 --> 00:02:20.750
You've probably are at 60, 70 hours of work at this point.
45
00:02:20.750 --> 00:02:21.600
So the fact that you're spending
46
00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:23.810
your remaining couple of hours with us does mean a lot.
47
00:02:23.810 --> 00:02:25.660
So thank you for giving us this opportunity
48
00:02:25.660 --> 00:02:27.525
to present to you today.
49
00:02:27.525 --> 00:02:31.070
I am still trying to share my desktop.
50
00:02:31.070 --> 00:02:32.470
There it is. Can you see it?
51
00:02:33.499 --> 00:02:35.875
I can see it, Dave.
Awesome, thanks Amineh.
52
00:02:35.875 --> 00:02:38.575
What we're gonna do today is just go through...
53
00:02:38.575 --> 00:02:40.213
Hold on.
54
00:02:43.870 --> 00:02:48.323
Try it one more time. I don't know why that did that.
55
00:02:49.230 --> 00:02:51.180
Brand new laptop, gotta love it, right?
56
00:02:53.270 --> 00:02:57.173
So let me minimize that, let me bring over what I have,
57
00:02:59.150 --> 00:03:00.470
try this one more time.
58
00:03:00.470 --> 00:03:02.410
now, Amineh, I'm seeing you, for whatever reason,
59
00:03:02.410 --> 00:03:04.110
when I'm pulling up the other one.
60
00:03:06.300 --> 00:03:08.110
Technical difficulties, everyone,
61
00:03:08.110 --> 00:03:10.160
on the very last presentation of the day.
62
00:03:14.930 --> 00:03:15.830
There we are.
63
00:03:15.830 --> 00:03:18.630
Now, it was when I went full screen and jumped out.
64
00:03:18.630 --> 00:03:20.080
Let's try this one more time.
65
00:03:22.750 --> 00:03:25.313
How about now?
Yeah, good Dave.
66
00:03:26.462 --> 00:03:29.303
Yay, all right, finally, #workedforanedtechcompany.
67
00:03:31.290 --> 00:03:32.477
So anyway, my name is Dave Trygar.
68
00:03:32.477 --> 00:03:34.450
I'm the regional director of partnerships here
69
00:03:34.450 --> 00:03:36.530
for the Northeast portion of the U.S.
70
00:03:36.530 --> 00:03:37.890
I'm just outside of Philadelphia,
71
00:03:37.890 --> 00:03:39.880
I have a couple of UVM alums
72
00:03:39.880 --> 00:03:42.210
that live a couple doors down from me, actually.
73
00:03:42.210 --> 00:03:46.010
My job today essentially is to MC, if you will,
74
00:03:46.010 --> 00:03:47.640
and lead the way over the next couple of hours
75
00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:50.567
of this presentation, be the main point of contact
76
00:03:50.567 --> 00:03:54.770
for this RFP, internally here at Instructure.
77
00:03:54.770 --> 00:03:57.370
But a large chunk of what we're going to do today,
78
00:03:57.370 --> 00:03:59.090
after I get done with the introduction,
79
00:03:59.090 --> 00:04:01.110
is gonna be spent with Amineh
80
00:04:01.110 --> 00:04:04.340
to go over the Canvas Learning Management System,
81
00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:06.120
both from a functional and technical side of things.
82
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.380
Amineh's our senior solutions engineer,
83
00:04:08.380 --> 00:04:09.990
has been working with me directly
84
00:04:09.990 --> 00:04:12.780
for the last couple of years, been a great teammate,
85
00:04:12.780 --> 00:04:16.290
and we are here as your resource for all things Canvas
86
00:04:16.290 --> 00:04:18.505
going forward into this presentation.
87
00:04:18.505 --> 00:04:20.200
Amineh, you just wanna introduce yourself here real quick
88
00:04:20.200 --> 00:04:21.310
before we move on.
89
00:04:21.310 --> 00:04:22.560
Yeah, good afternoon, everyone,
90
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.970
nice to be with you all here today on this Friday.
91
00:04:25.970 --> 00:04:27.450
A little bit about me,
92
00:04:27.450 --> 00:04:29.660
I joined Instructure around two years ago.
93
00:04:29.660 --> 00:04:32.320
I came over from higher education,
94
00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:35.940
where I primarily worked within higher education IT,
95
00:04:35.940 --> 00:04:38.170
as well as being a faculty member.
96
00:04:38.170 --> 00:04:41.920
So I wore a lot of hats in the learning technology
97
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.540
and academic technology domain.
98
00:04:44.540 --> 00:04:46.393
Awesome, and there's really no better resource,
99
00:04:46.393 --> 00:04:47.750
and that could be pretty much fact,
100
00:04:47.750 --> 00:04:50.440
but it's definitely my opinion, in this process
101
00:04:50.440 --> 00:04:52.050
because of the hats Amineh has worn,
102
00:04:52.050 --> 00:04:53.850
whether it's instructional design, faculty,
103
00:04:53.850 --> 00:04:55.370
leading this project, that sort of thing.
104
00:04:55.370 --> 00:04:57.820
So for all folks on this call, just understand
105
00:04:57.820 --> 00:04:59.260
you have a tremendous resource,
106
00:04:59.260 --> 00:05:03.110
especially in the world of accessibility and inclusion.
107
00:05:03.110 --> 00:05:06.920
Amineh is our liaison, if you will, in higher ed,
108
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:08.410
to accessibility in Canvas.
109
00:05:08.410 --> 00:05:11.010
So there's really no one on the team
110
00:05:11.010 --> 00:05:12.500
who knows more about this than she does.
111
00:05:12.500 --> 00:05:13.917
So feel free to call upon that
112
00:05:13.917 --> 00:05:16.830
and any follow up questions that you may have.
113
00:05:16.830 --> 00:05:19.150
So a little bit about a background about Canvas
114
00:05:19.150 --> 00:05:20.790
and Instructure as a whole,
115
00:05:20.790 --> 00:05:22.520
for those who may not be familiar,
116
00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:24.870
this started off as an ed-tech project
117
00:05:24.870 --> 00:05:26.330
with a couple of engineers in Utah.
118
00:05:26.330 --> 00:05:28.430
And the whole idea was, how do we take something
119
00:05:28.430 --> 00:05:31.070
that's widely used in ed tech and make it better?
120
00:05:31.070 --> 00:05:33.750
Now, engineers can easily just say, "Easy,
121
00:05:33.750 --> 00:05:36.430
I'll put together this LMS, we think what's gonna be better,
122
00:05:36.430 --> 00:05:38.788
and here are the efficiencies and yada."
123
00:05:38.788 --> 00:05:42.617
We, the two who did it, stopped and said,
124
00:05:42.617 --> 00:05:46.250
"Let's engage the community, let's talk to students,
125
00:05:46.250 --> 00:05:47.510
what makes for a great experience?
126
00:05:47.510 --> 00:05:49.790
Faculty, what makes for a great experience?"
127
00:05:49.790 --> 00:05:51.430
And that's all things delivering content,
128
00:05:51.430 --> 00:05:52.750
working in gradebook and all of that."
129
00:05:52.750 --> 00:05:55.510
And this works all the way up into leadership.
130
00:05:55.510 --> 00:05:57.460
And we think about the chief tech officers
131
00:05:57.460 --> 00:06:00.420
and the chief academic officer or provost or president,
132
00:06:00.420 --> 00:06:02.840
what does the LMS mean to you?
133
00:06:02.840 --> 00:06:03.673
And how does that work
134
00:06:03.673 --> 00:06:05.500
in the realm of institutional research
135
00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:08.100
when we're trying to better our university as a whole
136
00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:10.130
and make students more successful?
137
00:06:10.130 --> 00:06:13.300
That basically is what Canvas is all about.
138
00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:15.190
And we've stuck with it for the last 13 years,
139
00:06:15.190 --> 00:06:17.630
and there's no reason to change that equation,
140
00:06:17.630 --> 00:06:20.500
even though that now we are the leaders in higher education
141
00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:23.330
by the number of implementations and the number of students.
142
00:06:23.330 --> 00:06:27.520
So we employ roughly 1,100 folks globally, I am one of such,
143
00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:30.310
we have about 6,000 implementations globally,
144
00:06:30.310 --> 00:06:31.780
in higher ed, K-12 and corporate.
145
00:06:31.780 --> 00:06:34.410
As a matter of fact, K-12 has really grown a ton,
146
00:06:34.410 --> 00:06:36.427
just in the last 20 months alone.
147
00:06:36.427 --> 00:06:40.150
And again, we continue to move up every single year.
148
00:06:40.150 --> 00:06:42.300
As a matter of fact, those who have adopted Canvas
149
00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:43.250
are still with us today.
150
00:06:43.250 --> 00:06:45.800
So the original ones in 2008, 2009,
151
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:47.220
they've been with us from the beginning
152
00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:49.410
and they're here with us today.
153
00:06:49.410 --> 00:06:52.470
So again, those who come to Canvas have stayed with Canvas.
154
00:06:52.470 --> 00:06:56.320
And that's amounted to about 30 million users worldwide.
155
00:06:56.320 --> 00:06:59.510
The one bullet, I wanna explain this, 100% native SaaS.
156
00:06:59.510 --> 00:07:01.560
So what does that mean?
157
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:03.780
It means you wouldn't have to worry about
158
00:07:03.780 --> 00:07:06.660
someone shutting down the LMS over the weekend for updates.
159
00:07:06.660 --> 00:07:09.080
It means that if it crashes, it may take a little time
160
00:07:09.080 --> 00:07:11.470
to fix that, or get a bug fixed, put together,
161
00:07:11.470 --> 00:07:13.810
we do all of that on the fly.
162
00:07:13.810 --> 00:07:14.720
And odds are,
163
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.520
if there's an improvement going on in the backend,
164
00:07:16.520 --> 00:07:17.850
you won't even know about it.
165
00:07:17.850 --> 00:07:19.520
We can fix things in the gradebook
166
00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:21.320
while you're actually working in Canvas Studio
167
00:07:21.320 --> 00:07:22.870
or anything else in Canvas.
168
00:07:22.870 --> 00:07:24.470
So that's a beautiful element.
169
00:07:24.470 --> 00:07:27.250
But if you also think about what was happening in 2008,
170
00:07:27.250 --> 00:07:28.400
we were going through a recession,
171
00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:30.360
the iPhone was coming out, Android was out,
172
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.210
the operating system for Google, phones, iPads,
173
00:07:33.210 --> 00:07:34.970
all this stuff was coming out.
174
00:07:34.970 --> 00:07:37.300
So the whole idea was if I was doing something
175
00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:39.140
on a platform somewhere else,
176
00:07:39.140 --> 00:07:41.760
to be able to use it on my device is really important.
177
00:07:41.760 --> 00:07:44.780
So to be able to leverage that continuity and that parody
178
00:07:44.780 --> 00:07:46.640
is something that we have delivered
179
00:07:46.640 --> 00:07:48.510
in the way we build our code.
180
00:07:48.510 --> 00:07:50.820
So it's not as if it's an iterative process
181
00:07:50.820 --> 00:07:54.050
and now we have to back retrofitted, if you will,
182
00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:55.680
or square peg round hole.
183
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.360
Unfortunately, that's what most of higher ed
184
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.150
is using outside of Canvas.
185
00:08:00.150 --> 00:08:02.420
What we have is a 100% native SaaS
186
00:08:02.420 --> 00:08:04.490
and our code is built out of such.
187
00:08:04.490 --> 00:08:07.500
Stability and burstability, I'll show you that in a second,
188
00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:08.980
but basically concurrent usage.
189
00:08:08.980 --> 00:08:11.730
So when we think about that first Monday of classes,
190
00:08:11.730 --> 00:08:14.520
first week of classes, everybody, not just UVM,
191
00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:17.820
but everybody is pounded on the system really hard
192
00:08:17.820 --> 00:08:20.720
to have very minimal page slowdowns and no crashes
193
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.300
because of the way we support everyone,
194
00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:26.830
through our AWS redundancy and scaling, that's how we do it.
195
00:08:26.830 --> 00:08:28.410
When the pandemic first started
196
00:08:28.410 --> 00:08:30.080
and we got to late March, early April,
197
00:08:30.080 --> 00:08:32.360
and everybody was jumping on and doing this online,
198
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.560
we supported over 6 million at one time,
199
00:08:34.560 --> 00:08:37.540
and we did it day in and day out for weeks.
200
00:08:37.540 --> 00:08:38.820
So it's not a one-hit wonder,
201
00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:41.630
and then things regress a little bit to a later use,
202
00:08:41.630 --> 00:08:45.490
that can't happen, but the fact that we can be stable
203
00:08:45.490 --> 00:08:47.550
and be able to scale, is really important.
204
00:08:47.550 --> 00:08:49.260
And that's why the largest schools
205
00:08:49.260 --> 00:08:52.020
and the most prestigious schools and the biggest programs,
206
00:08:52.020 --> 00:08:55.040
even ones that have non-degree programs
207
00:08:55.040 --> 00:08:57.290
that sometimes they need for revenue generating,
208
00:08:57.290 --> 00:08:59.220
they trust it all with us.
209
00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:02.300
So whether that's an Ivy League school, a state system,
210
00:09:02.300 --> 00:09:04.350
a California OEI, the community colleges,
211
00:09:04.350 --> 00:09:07.022
they're all on Canvas, it's 1.2 million students.
212
00:09:07.022 --> 00:09:09.100
Virginia Community College System also,
213
00:09:09.100 --> 00:09:13.110
but larger universities like UVA, for example,
214
00:09:13.110 --> 00:09:17.360
or perhaps even Cornell, or what have you, you get the idea.
215
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:18.780
They trust Canvas.
216
00:09:18.780 --> 00:09:19.960
It's not that we made in the best,
217
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.490
it doesn't work that way, but they trust us,
218
00:09:22.490 --> 00:09:24.500
and that is a major undertaking.
219
00:09:24.500 --> 00:09:26.640
But we have the Public Ivies covered as well,
220
00:09:26.640 --> 00:09:29.300
although that list flexes a little bit,
221
00:09:29.300 --> 00:09:31.660
depending on how you argue, but these are the staples,
222
00:09:31.660 --> 00:09:36.300
UNC, UVA, Georgia Tech, UCSD, Michigan, so on,
223
00:09:36.300 --> 00:09:38.490
have all trusted Canvas.
224
00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:40.610
Virginia, we don't have the full institution,
225
00:09:40.610 --> 00:09:43.240
but colleges have adopted Canvas over time.
226
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.220
UNC, same thing, not the primary LMS,
227
00:09:46.220 --> 00:09:48.370
but we have seen on their project website,
228
00:09:48.370 --> 00:09:51.060
that day is coming sometime in the next 12 months.
229
00:09:51.060 --> 00:09:52.827
So we have seen more folks go to Canvas,
230
00:09:52.827 --> 00:09:54.980
and we're really excited about it.
231
00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:56.610
But you'll notice, again, as I mentioned,
232
00:09:56.610 --> 00:09:59.990
those who come to Canvas and stayed with Canvas,
233
00:09:59.990 --> 00:10:03.220
what you see here on the left is the Legacy LMS,
234
00:10:03.220 --> 00:10:04.340
so where you've come from,
235
00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:06.340
it's almost like the home you used to live in,
236
00:10:06.340 --> 00:10:08.340
and here is the home where you moved to.
237
00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:09.570
And you could see...
238
00:10:09.570 --> 00:10:10.603
Again, a lot of Blackboard folks
239
00:10:10.603 --> 00:10:12.470
will come over to Canvas and otherwise.
240
00:10:12.470 --> 00:10:15.310
We've seen Blackboard folks go somewhere else
241
00:10:15.310 --> 00:10:18.310
only to end up coming back to Canvas at some point.
242
00:10:18.310 --> 00:10:22.050
And the reason why is the barrier of entry.
243
00:10:22.050 --> 00:10:25.070
And what that means is, if it's tough to adopt something
244
00:10:25.070 --> 00:10:28.200
and use it and having as part of your life every single day,
245
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:29.870
and it's not really a great technology,
246
00:10:29.870 --> 00:10:32.020
it's actually prohibitive in some ways.
247
00:10:32.020 --> 00:10:35.550
So what we wanna do is empower faculty to take on the LMS,
248
00:10:35.550 --> 00:10:37.400
build their content, make it robust,
249
00:10:37.400 --> 00:10:38.620
which by the way, Amineh's gonna show you
250
00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:40.130
how easy that is to do.
251
00:10:40.130 --> 00:10:41.690
That means students are gonna use it more.
252
00:10:41.690 --> 00:10:43.800
And we'll show you how they use it later on.
253
00:10:43.800 --> 00:10:47.610
So to make it simple yet, on that same scale,
254
00:10:47.610 --> 00:10:50.310
we can balance it with agility and power.
255
00:10:50.310 --> 00:10:51.900
So to be able to move quickly
256
00:10:51.900 --> 00:10:53.410
on the back end or on the front end,
257
00:10:53.410 --> 00:10:55.730
and make it powerful with those deep integrations.
258
00:10:55.730 --> 00:10:58.280
So if you're using these third party tools
259
00:10:58.280 --> 00:11:00.533
through a building block or an LTI,
260
00:11:01.628 --> 00:11:02.930
we'll make it even stronger.
261
00:11:02.930 --> 00:11:04.767
We have an open platform, an open API.
262
00:11:04.767 --> 00:11:06.430
And what that basically means
263
00:11:06.430 --> 00:11:07.690
is that the third party providers
264
00:11:07.690 --> 00:11:10.610
can leverage how open our structure is
265
00:11:10.610 --> 00:11:14.040
to build more features and functionality from those tools.
266
00:11:14.040 --> 00:11:17.170
So a lot of times, our tool's the first one that gets built,
267
00:11:17.170 --> 00:11:19.170
and it is the most powerful one.
268
00:11:19.170 --> 00:11:21.550
As far as the privacy and security of your student data
269
00:11:21.550 --> 00:11:23.390
and the university as a whole,
270
00:11:23.390 --> 00:11:25.070
our chief privacy officer, Daisy Bennett,
271
00:11:25.070 --> 00:11:27.480
is on record saying, "Hey, privacy and security,
272
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.040
it's a fundamental human right
273
00:11:29.040 --> 00:11:30.760
that should not be really an argument
274
00:11:30.760 --> 00:11:33.850
on how private something is, the door should be locked.
275
00:11:33.850 --> 00:11:36.410
And the only person who should have access to that
276
00:11:36.410 --> 00:11:38.840
are the students or anybody else who has at the university,
277
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:40.580
as long as it follows FERPA."
278
00:11:40.580 --> 00:11:42.280
As far as security is concerned...
279
00:11:42.280 --> 00:11:43.740
Again, we have all the documentation
280
00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:45.870
to back that up as well, and we can have further calls
281
00:11:45.870 --> 00:11:48.400
if the committee sees that fit.
282
00:11:48.400 --> 00:11:51.740
But I've been a professional for about 26 years now.
283
00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:54.220
I've never worked in an organization that has the culture
284
00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:56.410
and the people and the awesome community
285
00:11:56.410 --> 00:11:58.910
and higher education that we have here at Instructure.
286
00:11:58.910 --> 00:12:00.644
I love it every single day,
287
00:12:00.644 --> 00:12:03.230
I hope it's where I get to be for the rest of my life,
288
00:12:03.230 --> 00:12:05.350
and it's a really great place to be
289
00:12:05.350 --> 00:12:08.490
where everyone has a seat at the table, we all get to talk,
290
00:12:08.490 --> 00:12:10.300
it doesn't mean someone can't be critical,
291
00:12:10.300 --> 00:12:11.740
but we respect each other,
292
00:12:11.740 --> 00:12:13.450
but we move higher education forward.
293
00:12:13.450 --> 00:12:14.570
And that's a big deal.
294
00:12:14.570 --> 00:12:17.910
So at that being said, accessibility, a numero uno,
295
00:12:17.910 --> 00:12:20.730
when it comes to features, facets, functionality in Canvas,
296
00:12:20.730 --> 00:12:23.490
which also opens the door to inclusion as well.
297
00:12:23.490 --> 00:12:25.110
So equitable education,
298
00:12:25.110 --> 00:12:28.220
making sure everybody has a seat at the table
299
00:12:28.220 --> 00:12:29.810
is really important to us.
300
00:12:29.810 --> 00:12:32.170
We wouldn't be doing our due diligence here
301
00:12:32.170 --> 00:12:34.000
if we weren't opening those doors.
302
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.340
We meet students where they learn,
303
00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:37.270
whether it's on again, a laptop here
304
00:12:37.270 --> 00:12:41.190
on a traditional web browser or on my phone or on my iPad,
305
00:12:41.190 --> 00:12:43.330
to meet students where they are, no matter what.
306
00:12:43.330 --> 00:12:44.860
And again, those powerful integrations
307
00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:46.160
are really important as well.
308
00:12:46.160 --> 00:12:48.200
So again, I'll say it,
309
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.810
institutions who have joined the Canvas community
310
00:12:50.810 --> 00:12:52.840
have been with us from the very beginning.
311
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.240
And we have partners who're not exactly doing
312
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:59.690
exactly line-by-line what UVMs trying to do,
313
00:12:59.690 --> 00:13:01.010
but in the realm of student success
314
00:13:01.010 --> 00:13:03.400
and moving these programs forward, making it easy,
315
00:13:03.400 --> 00:13:05.810
getting off something old and something that's innovative
316
00:13:05.810 --> 00:13:08.150
and can take you forward, we've done this,
317
00:13:08.150 --> 00:13:11.090
we've done more migrations than anybody else.
318
00:13:11.090 --> 00:13:12.940
The barriers are low, the adoptions are high.
319
00:13:12.940 --> 00:13:16.870
We had a 90% adoption rate prior to the pandemic.
320
00:13:16.870 --> 00:13:20.070
I'll say it again, 90% adoption rate prior to the pandemic.
321
00:13:20.070 --> 00:13:21.210
And that's an average.
322
00:13:21.210 --> 00:13:23.280
I spoke with a CIO of another research,
323
00:13:23.280 --> 00:13:25.000
one institution in the Northeast.
324
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:26.750
We were going over some of the data
325
00:13:26.750 --> 00:13:28.380
that they had extracted out of Canvas,
326
00:13:28.380 --> 00:13:31.379
and their adoption rate was almost 98%.
327
00:13:31.379 --> 00:13:34.320
I was blown away by that, but that's really impressive.
328
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.380
But again, if we have everybody in here using it,
329
00:13:37.380 --> 00:13:39.050
and it's helping students become successful
330
00:13:39.050 --> 00:13:40.490
for that next chapter in life,
331
00:13:40.490 --> 00:13:42.100
success for the student translates
332
00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:43.770
into success in the programs
333
00:13:43.770 --> 00:13:45.440
and success for the University of Vermont.
334
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.180
So that's something that we really take seriously.
335
00:13:48.180 --> 00:13:50.110
So we view our infrastructure.
336
00:13:50.110 --> 00:13:53.570
We have our backend supported by Amazon Web Services.
337
00:13:53.570 --> 00:13:55.090
And we view this as...
338
00:13:55.090 --> 00:13:56.260
I know somebody who might be chuckling
339
00:13:56.260 --> 00:13:57.410
seeing the Maytag repairman,
340
00:13:57.410 --> 00:13:59.210
but that's essentially what it is.
341
00:13:59.210 --> 00:14:02.470
It doesn't go down and it stays supported.
342
00:14:02.470 --> 00:14:03.350
This is a view...
343
00:14:03.350 --> 00:14:05.290
And I actually have a view from a year ago.
344
00:14:05.290 --> 00:14:07.790
I can actually pull up the new view too if you wanna see it.
345
00:14:07.790 --> 00:14:10.650
This is Ohio State University's instance.
346
00:14:10.650 --> 00:14:12.570
This is available publicly to you, by the way,
347
00:14:12.570 --> 00:14:14.870
if you go to status.instructure.com
348
00:14:14.870 --> 00:14:16.050
and then type in this URL,
349
00:14:16.050 --> 00:14:18.670
you'll see what Ohio State looks like right now.
350
00:14:18.670 --> 00:14:21.240
This shows you what the uptime looks like,
351
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:22.670
what the stability looks like,
352
00:14:22.670 --> 00:14:24.200
how heavy people are hammering,
353
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.920
and maybe, just, maybe there's a media tool.
354
00:14:26.920 --> 00:14:29.430
That's a little slow, and it's gonna mark it in yellow.
355
00:14:29.430 --> 00:14:32.820
So they have that transparency for the it admins,
356
00:14:32.820 --> 00:14:33.900
and even for you as faculty.
357
00:14:33.900 --> 00:14:35.800
Hey, what's going on over here? I can dial that in.
358
00:14:35.800 --> 00:14:37.297
You can look at it yourself.
359
00:14:37.297 --> 00:14:40.270
So I wanna give you an idea about how transparent we are,
360
00:14:40.270 --> 00:14:42.880
not just in the information here, but as a company.
361
00:14:42.880 --> 00:14:44.700
We're very open, we wanna tell you everything
362
00:14:44.700 --> 00:14:46.103
that we have going on.
363
00:14:46.103 --> 00:14:47.860
But one thing is for certain...
364
00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:50.680
Again, those first weeks of classes and those heavy times,
365
00:14:50.680 --> 00:14:52.770
where everybody's in it, finals time, for instance,
366
00:14:52.770 --> 00:14:55.420
we are asking for more power from AWS
367
00:14:55.420 --> 00:14:57.490
before we need that power from AWS.
368
00:14:57.490 --> 00:14:58.700
It's a little predictive.
369
00:14:58.700 --> 00:15:02.100
So this is a curve of the load that we've had in Canvas.
370
00:15:02.100 --> 00:15:03.410
This is what was requested,
371
00:15:03.410 --> 00:15:05.150
and this is eventually what we got.
372
00:15:05.150 --> 00:15:06.700
Because of those loads coming,
373
00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:08.810
we are able to predict ahead of time
374
00:15:08.810 --> 00:15:11.070
and to make sure that things don't slow down,
375
00:15:11.070 --> 00:15:13.520 line:15%
not say they never do, you know, it's a tech,
376
00:15:13.520 --> 00:15:15.060 line:15%
it's going to happen every now and then.
377
00:15:15.060 --> 00:15:17.150 line:15%
But if it ever goes down, chances are
378
00:15:17.150 --> 00:15:18.900 line:15%
your streaming apps are gonna go down,
379
00:15:18.900 --> 00:15:21.130 line:15%
your YouTube is gonna go down, Netflix is gonna go down,
380
00:15:21.130 --> 00:15:23.600 line:15%
Pandora and so on, you get the idea here.
381
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:27.330 line:15%
What we don't wanna do is have technology be the barrier
382
00:15:27.330 --> 00:15:28.750 line:15%
for students to be successful.
383
00:15:28.750 --> 00:15:31.060 line:15%
So for faculty, you have a lot.
384
00:15:31.060 --> 00:15:32.960 line:15%
You have a lot going on, you have a lot to do,
385
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.570 line:15%
and you're being asked for more and more every day,
386
00:15:35.570 --> 00:15:37.890 line:15%
but don't have the time, because, let's face it,
387
00:15:37.890 --> 00:15:39.300 line:15%
just 'cause you have more to do
388
00:15:39.300 --> 00:15:41.110 line:15%
that means you have less time to do it in.
389
00:15:41.110 --> 00:15:43.800 line:15%
24 hours with a lot more to do gives you less time.
390
00:15:43.800 --> 00:15:45.720 line:15%
And fewer resources sometimes.
391
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.180 line:15%
So now we have students
392
00:15:47.180 --> 00:15:50.310 line:15%
who have to get that real-world experience in other areas.
393
00:15:50.310 --> 00:15:53.400 line:15%
So let's do this, let's give students the power to get in,
394
00:15:53.400 --> 00:15:55.690 line:15%
give you the tools that you need to be successful,
395
00:15:55.690 --> 00:15:59.440 line:15%
and then open the doors to workplace readiness,
396
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.557 line:15%
career readiness, through the eyes of Canvas.
397
00:16:01.557 --> 00:16:02.880 line:15%
And we can do that,
398
00:16:02.880 --> 00:16:04.520 line:15%
especially when it comes to your corporate partner.
399
00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:07.110 line:15%
So, really cool ways that we can do that.
400
00:16:07.110 --> 00:16:10.090 line:15%
So for faculty to learn Canvas is not that hard.
401
00:16:10.090 --> 00:16:13.570 line:15%
The CIO at Temple University, we did an interview with her
402
00:16:13.570 --> 00:16:14.940 line:15%
and that's available on YouTube, by the way,
403
00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:16.897 line:15%
if you just wanna type in Canvas, Temple University,
404
00:16:16.897 --> 00:16:18.660 line:15%
you could view it for yourself,
405
00:16:18.660 --> 00:16:21.060 line:15%
she said, "We expect a 15% uptake of Canvas
406
00:16:21.060 --> 00:16:22.410 line:15%
during the pilot period."
407
00:16:22.410 --> 00:16:24.430 line:15%
So they just said, "Hey, for those of you wanna use it,
408
00:16:24.430 --> 00:16:25.670 line:15%
try it out."
409
00:16:25.670 --> 00:16:28.170 line:15%
They had 80% of their faculty teaching that semester
410
00:16:28.170 --> 00:16:29.820 line:15%
who used Canvas.
411
00:16:29.820 --> 00:16:32.610 line:15%
So they had a transition period and they jumped in.
412
00:16:32.610 --> 00:16:34.550 line:15%
So students, they're gonna take to it.
413
00:16:34.550 --> 00:16:35.610 line:15%
I know it's as fish to water,
414
00:16:35.610 --> 00:16:37.674 line:15%
but I don't know a better analogy to say this.
415
00:16:37.674 --> 00:16:39.600 line:15%
It's like crawling and walking and running.
416
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.350 line:15%
It happens rather quickly.
417
00:16:41.350 --> 00:16:42.810 line:15%
So it was pretty seamless for students.
418
00:16:42.810 --> 00:16:46.070 line:15%
And we know by the way, because, and I'll use an example,
419
00:16:46.070 --> 00:16:47.630 line:15%
I have a niece and nephew at Penn State
420
00:16:47.630 --> 00:16:49.510 line:15%
and I have a nephew who's at UNC.
421
00:16:49.510 --> 00:16:51.460 line:15%
UNC is about to go to Canvas.
422
00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:53.510 line:15%
He was using Canvas in high school.
423
00:16:53.510 --> 00:16:55.455 line:15%
My niece and nephew in a school district here
424
00:16:55.455 --> 00:16:58.050 line:15%
in the General area, West of Philadelphia.
425
00:16:58.050 --> 00:17:00.920 line:15%
They both used Canvas in their high school
426
00:17:00.920 --> 00:17:02.620 line:15%
and now they're using it at Penn State.
427
00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:05.070 line:15%
So for them to comment and say, "Hey, Uncle Dave,
428
00:17:05.070 --> 00:17:06.470 line:15%
they're using Canvas at Penn State,
429
00:17:06.470 --> 00:17:09.410 line:15%
I'd nothing, nothing to learn. It was easy, we loved it."
430
00:17:09.410 --> 00:17:11.910 line:15%
For students to rave about something that's educational
431
00:17:11.910 --> 00:17:14.140
and technical and everything, I think is just great.
432
00:17:14.140 --> 00:17:15.930
So that's a really great real time story
433
00:17:15.930 --> 00:17:17.410
that I wanted to share with you.
434
00:17:17.410 --> 00:17:19.030
So why is this?
435
00:17:19.030 --> 00:17:22.090
Well, we know three things, Canvas can be really engaging.
436
00:17:22.090 --> 00:17:23.400
And Amineh's it's gonna show you
437
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:24.740
how we can really get the engagement
438
00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:26.260
and put the thrusters on there.
439
00:17:26.260 --> 00:17:28.440
We make it simple, we give you a great ways
440
00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:31.610
to edit your content, connect tools, record videos,
441
00:17:31.610 --> 00:17:33.530
get data, all that great stuff.
442
00:17:33.530 --> 00:17:35.230
But reliability,
443
00:17:35.230 --> 00:17:37.600
nobody wants to write that email then it's down.
444
00:17:37.600 --> 00:17:39.850
Nobody wants to say we're shutting things down
445
00:17:39.850 --> 00:17:42.240
for the weekend for an upgrade, nobody wants to do that.
446
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.260
So you don't have to do that.
447
00:17:45.260 --> 00:17:46.093
So that's the beauty
448
00:17:46.093 --> 00:17:49.920
of being in a software as a solution, or SaaS.
449
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.010
So Canvas meeting students where they live.
450
00:17:52.010 --> 00:17:54.560
We do that through two windows, number one,
451
00:17:54.560 --> 00:17:56.820
a mobile application that is highly rated,
452
00:17:56.820 --> 00:17:59.130
not only on the App Store, but in Google Play.
453
00:17:59.130 --> 00:18:01.377
Don't forget faculty, we have your cover too.
454
00:18:01.377 --> 00:18:03.590
And about 10 or 11 percent of students
455
00:18:03.590 --> 00:18:04.990
wanna use the mobile browser,
456
00:18:04.990 --> 00:18:06.030
at least when they're spending some time
457
00:18:06.030 --> 00:18:06.940
in the mobile browser,
458
00:18:06.940 --> 00:18:08.730
we know most of them are gonna go to the app.
459
00:18:08.730 --> 00:18:11.890
So to have responsive design within the mobile browser,
460
00:18:11.890 --> 00:18:14.550
we have that, especially when it comes for accessibility,
461
00:18:14.550 --> 00:18:17.100
low vision, if you need it for screen readers,
462
00:18:17.100 --> 00:18:21.280
so on and so forth, we have it available in Canvas,
463
00:18:21.280 --> 00:18:23.510
as part of a responsive design.
464
00:18:23.510 --> 00:18:24.760
But as far as the app is concerned,
465
00:18:24.760 --> 00:18:25.917
we know the vast majority of students
466
00:18:25.917 --> 00:18:27.930
are going to use the app.
467
00:18:27.930 --> 00:18:29.477
So again, responsive design,
468
00:18:29.477 --> 00:18:33.290
and a highly-rated app in the App Store.
469
00:18:33.290 --> 00:18:34.780
So here's the responsive design piece.
470
00:18:34.780 --> 00:18:37.480
Again, whichever way you turn your phone or your BYOD,
471
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:39.630
it's going to adjust and it's going to fit,
472
00:18:39.630 --> 00:18:42.327
and it's going to organize accordingly to what you see here,
473
00:18:42.327 --> 00:18:45.070
and it's going to do it pretty nice and pretty intuitively.
474
00:18:45.070 --> 00:18:46.610
What you'll notice here,
475
00:18:46.610 --> 00:18:49.510
the parody between what it Amineh's about to show you
476
00:18:49.510 --> 00:18:52.520
and the mobile environment, it's not a recode or rehash,
477
00:18:52.520 --> 00:18:53.900
the two are done in tandem,
478
00:18:53.900 --> 00:18:58.177
and they were basically stress-tested for this reason.
479
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.960
So again, students, most of them have a smartphone app,
480
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:05.690
whether it's 97 or 98 percent, we're splitting hairs,
481
00:19:05.690 --> 00:19:07.870
but I wanna call this out.
482
00:19:07.870 --> 00:19:10.970
The Canvas Student App has 2.2 million ratings
483
00:19:10.970 --> 00:19:12.090
and millions of downloads.
484
00:19:12.090 --> 00:19:14.110
Canvas Teacher App, again, we have parody
485
00:19:14.110 --> 00:19:15.460
with the Faculty function,
486
00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:17.100
so we have it in a Canvas Teacher App.
487
00:19:17.100 --> 00:19:18.100
You can download it now.
488
00:19:18.100 --> 00:19:20.150
And by the way, if you want to test it out
489
00:19:20.150 --> 00:19:21.680
as part of the sandbox,
490
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:24.500
which is a site that we set up for UVM.
491
00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:27.860
If you wanna test it out, you can use it to test out mobile.
492
00:19:27.860 --> 00:19:30.390
You'll notice we have 2.2 million ratings
493
00:19:30.390 --> 00:19:32.580
for the Canvas Student App.
494
00:19:32.580 --> 00:19:36.830
That's more than our competitors have in downloads alone.
495
00:19:36.830 --> 00:19:39.040
So if you can think about how often you've rated something,
496
00:19:39.040 --> 00:19:41.070
it doesn't happen that often probably,
497
00:19:41.070 --> 00:19:43.150
to have 2.2 million ratings is a really big deal.
498
00:19:43.150 --> 00:19:46.890
And it's 4.7 out of five, which is about as good
499
00:19:46.890 --> 00:19:49.220
as you get with a sample size of 2.2 million.
500
00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:51.080
So again, students rave about it,
501
00:19:51.080 --> 00:19:53.520
but you'll see the parody in the app,
502
00:19:53.520 --> 00:19:55.790
similar to what Amineh's gonna show you.
503
00:19:55.790 --> 00:19:58.220
That includes the widgets that go on your homepages,
504
00:19:58.220 --> 00:19:59.200
the communication,
505
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.060
the push notifications just show up on your device.
506
00:20:02.060 --> 00:20:03.080
And yes, faculty,
507
00:20:03.080 --> 00:20:05.410
we're gonna show you an element called the Speed Grader,
508
00:20:05.410 --> 00:20:07.600
this is an example, where you can actually draw,
509
00:20:07.600 --> 00:20:09.930
you can annotate, you can comment, you can communicate,
510
00:20:09.930 --> 00:20:12.300
you can put rubrics in, you can reassign,
511
00:20:12.300 --> 00:20:13.360
you can do all of that,
512
00:20:13.360 --> 00:20:16.390
and get an easy entry to the gradebook too, by the way.
513
00:20:16.390 --> 00:20:18.620
So let's talk about our cultural differentiators
514
00:20:18.620 --> 00:20:20.220
and then we'll move on to the presentation.
515
00:20:20.220 --> 00:20:22.540
We leave everyday live every day by 3Cs,
516
00:20:22.540 --> 00:20:25.470
culture, Canvas, customers.
517
00:20:25.470 --> 00:20:27.530
That's backed up by the values
518
00:20:27.530 --> 00:20:29.540
that we bring to the table every day.
519
00:20:29.540 --> 00:20:33.100
So ownership, when we say we're going to do something,
520
00:20:33.100 --> 00:20:35.780
we do it, we blog a lot on our website
521
00:20:35.780 --> 00:20:37.560
about what we are looking to accomplish,
522
00:20:37.560 --> 00:20:40.760
what our future holds, things that we truly believe in,
523
00:20:40.760 --> 00:20:42.550
what we're hearing from the community.
524
00:20:42.550 --> 00:20:43.480
We take that on,
525
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:44.780
and when we say we're going to do something,
526
00:20:44.780 --> 00:20:46.070
we're going to do it.
527
00:20:46.070 --> 00:20:47.330
Obviously we're open,
528
00:20:47.330 --> 00:20:49.530
we're very open folks here at Instructure,
529
00:20:49.530 --> 00:20:52.170
our structure in Canvas is open.
530
00:20:52.170 --> 00:20:53.780
And by the way, because of that openness
531
00:20:53.780 --> 00:20:56.790
and that great ownership, you make great relationships,
532
00:20:56.790 --> 00:20:58.170
even take this part out of it.
533
00:20:58.170 --> 00:20:59.060
You know a lot of people
534
00:20:59.060 --> 00:21:01.016
who do what they say they're going to do,
535
00:21:01.016 --> 00:21:04.320
and they're very open about it, and they're ethical,
536
00:21:04.320 --> 00:21:06.707
those are really great relationships that you have.
537
00:21:06.707 --> 00:21:08.200
But we don't wanna overthink it,
538
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:10.490
we don't wanna over-complicate it, we keep it simple.
539
00:21:10.490 --> 00:21:12.220
And so one thing is, you'll hear from us.
540
00:21:12.220 --> 00:21:14.250
We try to come up with simple solutions
541
00:21:14.250 --> 00:21:15.980
to some very complex problems.
542
00:21:15.980 --> 00:21:19.050
And that's basically what we live by every single day.
543
00:21:19.050 --> 00:21:23.070
Community and members, we have 30 million users globally.
544
00:21:23.070 --> 00:21:26.003
I checked it this morning, and I should update it.
545
00:21:26.003 --> 00:21:29.840
I only updated this three weeks ago. I had 1.2 million.
546
00:21:29.840 --> 00:21:33.300
We now have 1.4 million members in the user community.
547
00:21:33.300 --> 00:21:34.360
What does that mean?
548
00:21:34.360 --> 00:21:36.820
Faculty admins, everyone is using Canvas,
549
00:21:36.820 --> 00:21:39.700
this is where you go to ask questions about,
550
00:21:39.700 --> 00:21:42.210
hey, I'm doing this and we're integrating,
551
00:21:42.210 --> 00:21:43.220
what do you think about this tool?
552
00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:44.920
And have you tested it out with this?
553
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:46.340
Obviously we have a knowledge base,
554
00:21:46.340 --> 00:21:48.550
obviously we have support, we'll help you there.
555
00:21:48.550 --> 00:21:49.383
But if you ever want to see
556
00:21:49.383 --> 00:21:50.930
how someone else is doing something
557
00:21:50.930 --> 00:21:52.730
similar to what you're looking to accomplish,
558
00:21:52.730 --> 00:21:55.680
we have 1.4 million other best friends.
559
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:57.900
And by the way, our conferences that we do every year,
560
00:21:57.900 --> 00:22:00.020
this is where people come together for the family reunion,
561
00:22:00.020 --> 00:22:02.070
and it's cool, it's called InstructureCon.
562
00:22:02.070 --> 00:22:04.300
So we have a few thousand people that come onsite,
563
00:22:04.300 --> 00:22:06.900
or last two years has been virtual.
564
00:22:06.900 --> 00:22:08.970
The last one we had on site was a Long Beach,
565
00:22:08.970 --> 00:22:11.400
but I'm excited about what's ahead for next year.
566
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.973
We did CanvasCon online, we did InstructureCon online,
567
00:22:14.973 --> 00:22:16.630
They're pretty much one in the same.
568
00:22:16.630 --> 00:22:18.880
Their ed tech conferences is a little bit of Canvas,
569
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:20.710
but specifically ed tech.
570
00:22:20.710 --> 00:22:23.780
On the left, this is a student from Cornell University
571
00:22:23.780 --> 00:22:26.210
who was interviewing will.i.am,
572
00:22:26.210 --> 00:22:27.470
if you're familiar with him.
573
00:22:27.470 --> 00:22:30.587
So to have students involved in our community
574
00:22:30.587 --> 00:22:32.920
and to have the people at the forefront of education
575
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:36.140
and technology and STEM, speak about their experiences
576
00:22:36.140 --> 00:22:39.140
and sharing that with others in higher ed, that's powerful.
577
00:22:39.140 --> 00:22:41.120
So I have links to these, by the way,
578
00:22:41.120 --> 00:22:42.490
if ever wanna check them out, just let me know,
579
00:22:42.490 --> 00:22:43.640
I'm happy to share them with you.
580
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:46.280
We have people tweeting about us all the time,
581
00:22:46.280 --> 00:22:48.240
including things like, "Hey, if you get an assignment done
582
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:50.290
and you get the confetti, love the confetti."
583
00:22:50.290 --> 00:22:53.310
This wasn't intentional, this was just teed up here,
584
00:22:53.310 --> 00:22:56.540
but you have people who'll ask us about Canvas
585
00:22:56.540 --> 00:22:59.450
and saying, "What a great experience that they are having!"
586
00:22:59.450 --> 00:23:03.130
But when we think about it, there's more to it.
587
00:23:03.130 --> 00:23:06.930
The world of higher ed is bigger than we are at Canvas,
588
00:23:06.930 --> 00:23:08.630
even when we have the sum of all of our parts.
589
00:23:08.630 --> 00:23:09.980
So what we try to do
590
00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:12.810
is make sure that we are keeping our ear to the ground,
591
00:23:12.810 --> 00:23:15.220
listening to what folks are saying in higher ed,
592
00:23:15.220 --> 00:23:17.440
and sharing that for the greater good.
593
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.110
And it also helps us keep our campuses
594
00:23:19.110 --> 00:23:20.380
pointed in the right direction.
595
00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:22.090
We just did a second iteration
596
00:23:22.090 --> 00:23:23.270
on the state of student success
597
00:23:23.270 --> 00:23:24.470
and engagement in higher education.
598
00:23:24.470 --> 00:23:26.140
It's a free paper, google it,
599
00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:28.343
you could download it, read it for yourself.
600
00:23:28.343 --> 00:23:30.940
I wanna say it's about 50 odd pages,
601
00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:33.700
but there are six summaries that are in there,
602
00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:36.570
which I think are really great, especially when it comes to
603
00:23:36.570 --> 00:23:38.840
making sure we're getting the students where they are
604
00:23:38.840 --> 00:23:41.550
to give those who may not have the resources available
605
00:23:41.550 --> 00:23:43.970
to get to you, and reaching out a little bit farther
606
00:23:43.970 --> 00:23:45.040
than you have before.
607
00:23:45.040 --> 00:23:47.330
Canvas actually specializes in that anyway,
608
00:23:47.330 --> 00:23:50.780
but it does give you some idea of what 8,000 or 9,000 folks,
609
00:23:50.780 --> 00:23:53.150
who are educators and students and others, have to think.
610
00:23:53.150 --> 00:23:54.910
So they're not our opinions,
611
00:23:54.910 --> 00:23:56.390
these are what other folks have stated
612
00:23:56.390 --> 00:23:58.380
as far as the study is concerned.
613
00:23:58.380 --> 00:24:00.570
So I'm gonna back out of the demonstration here.
614
00:24:00.570 --> 00:24:02.690
I'm gonna move it over to Amineh,
615
00:24:02.690 --> 00:24:05.900
for the bulk of our presentation today, Amineh.
616
00:24:08.280 --> 00:24:09.740
Thank you, Dave.
617
00:24:09.740 --> 00:24:11.590
So I'm just going to share my screen
618
00:24:11.590 --> 00:24:13.392
and I do want to address
619
00:24:13.392 --> 00:24:14.950
just a little bit of what is in the chat
620
00:24:14.950 --> 00:24:17.670
and perhaps we can leave it till the end,
621
00:24:17.670 --> 00:24:21.210
when it comes to integration with Canvas.
622
00:24:21.210 --> 00:24:24.680
Now, Canvas is an open, standard-based architecture,
623
00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:28.710
so yes, we support many of the LTI formats
624
00:24:28.710 --> 00:24:30.730
that are going to be existing,
625
00:24:30.730 --> 00:24:34.160
1.3 being probably one of the more recent
626
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:39.160
that does allow for a higher level of depth for integration,
627
00:24:39.590 --> 00:24:42.530
much of the time, and we're thinking about the Canvas API,
628
00:24:42.530 --> 00:24:46.880
so the ability to connect with Canvas can be deep.
629
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:49.430
And it's really at times
630
00:24:49.430 --> 00:24:52.290
at the onus of a third party company,
631
00:24:52.290 --> 00:24:54.900
in order to integrate with us.
632
00:24:54.900 --> 00:24:57.560
We definitely have a very sound Partnerships team
633
00:24:57.560 --> 00:25:01.530
that we work with, in terms of combining engineering efforts
634
00:25:01.530 --> 00:25:05.620
to ensure that this does occur, but at the same time,
635
00:25:05.620 --> 00:25:09.040
sometimes we really have to look at
636
00:25:09.040 --> 00:25:11.230
what these third party companies are doing
637
00:25:11.230 --> 00:25:13.060
in terms of their level of development,
638
00:25:13.060 --> 00:25:16.810
their level of effort, and the reasons why they would want,
639
00:25:16.810 --> 00:25:20.040
or not want to put some of their proprietary content
640
00:25:20.040 --> 00:25:22.520
into a learning ecosystem.
641
00:25:22.520 --> 00:25:24.830
So perhaps we can have more of a conversation on that
642
00:25:24.830 --> 00:25:25.800
later on.
643
00:25:25.800 --> 00:25:29.200
And Dave, as well, perhaps send over some use cases
644
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:31.760
when it comes to faculty adoption
645
00:25:31.760 --> 00:25:35.480
and faculty sentiment of Canvas itself.
646
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:40.130
Now I do want to get into the first use case of the day.
647
00:25:40.130 --> 00:25:43.700
What I will put into the chat very, very briefly
648
00:25:43.700 --> 00:25:47.070
is a link out to all of the use cases
649
00:25:47.070 --> 00:25:49.230
that I have responded to.
650
00:25:49.230 --> 00:25:50.840
In this regard, I do it,
651
00:25:50.840 --> 00:25:54.860
not only because it's an accessibility-helpful document,
652
00:25:54.860 --> 00:25:57.980
but as well, if we don't get to all of these cases
653
00:25:57.980 --> 00:26:01.070
within our presentation today, because there were several,
654
00:26:01.070 --> 00:26:03.830
you're gonna have something to refer back to.
655
00:26:03.830 --> 00:26:06.064
Now speaking to Use Case 1,
656
00:26:06.064 --> 00:26:07.590
it's essentially how we're going to be able
657
00:26:07.590 --> 00:26:11.840
to build content in Canvas, as an instructor.
658
00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:15.440
So if you've never seen Canvas before, welcome to Canvas,
659
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:17.250
I'm logged in as an instructor
660
00:26:17.250 --> 00:26:19.990
and as a system administrator.
661
00:26:19.990 --> 00:26:22.470
The first thing that you're going to be presented with
662
00:26:22.470 --> 00:26:25.490
when you're logging into Canvas is your dashboard.
663
00:26:25.490 --> 00:26:28.680
And your dashboard really is your launchpad
664
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:32.150
into all of the areas that really require
665
00:26:32.150 --> 00:26:34.990
and need your focus as a faculty member.
666
00:26:34.990 --> 00:26:37.151
The first is going to be
667
00:26:37.151 --> 00:26:40.970
all of your focus in on student assessment,
668
00:26:40.970 --> 00:26:43.160
and the capabilities to give feedback.
669
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:45.850
So what this to-do list over on the right-hand side
670
00:26:45.850 --> 00:26:47.100
is going to tell you
671
00:26:47.100 --> 00:26:50.390
is how many students have been submitting assignments,
672
00:26:50.390 --> 00:26:53.010
and it's going to offer you quick links
673
00:26:53.010 --> 00:26:55.010
out to each individual assessment
674
00:26:55.010 --> 00:26:57.010
so that you are going to be able
675
00:26:57.010 --> 00:26:59.410
to grade the students very, very quickly
676
00:26:59.410 --> 00:27:02.210
without having to go into a course.
677
00:27:02.210 --> 00:27:04.100
The one component of Boat Canvas
678
00:27:04.100 --> 00:27:06.100
that, really, you should keep top of mind
679
00:27:06.100 --> 00:27:09.840
is that the design is simple, it's very human centered,
680
00:27:09.840 --> 00:27:12.520
we take a very empathetic approach to the design,
681
00:27:12.520 --> 00:27:14.130
and we just want to make sure
682
00:27:14.130 --> 00:27:16.880
that nothing is nested or hidden,
683
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:19.250
that everything in terms of what you're seeing
684
00:27:19.250 --> 00:27:21.550
is fairly obvious.
685
00:27:21.550 --> 00:27:23.385
Now, when it comes to
686
00:27:23.385 --> 00:27:26.270
all of the courses that you may be enrolled in,
687
00:27:26.270 --> 00:27:28.530
they're always going to be front and center,
688
00:27:28.530 --> 00:27:31.400
you're gonna be able to reorder and organize them,
689
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:34.620
change up the color, even nickname this,
690
00:27:34.620 --> 00:27:37.580
all of these visual cues and organizational tidbits
691
00:27:37.580 --> 00:27:40.240
throughout the environment, are going to follow you.
692
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:42.560
So that's one aspect of customization
693
00:27:42.560 --> 00:27:45.590
that a lot of our users really appreciate,
694
00:27:45.590 --> 00:27:48.900
especially too, if you're using the Teacher App.
695
00:27:48.900 --> 00:27:51.610
So the Teacher App is going to inherit all of the logic
696
00:27:51.610 --> 00:27:53.210
that you would put within the desktop
697
00:27:53.210 --> 00:27:54.910
when it comes to those visual cues
698
00:27:54.910 --> 00:27:57.010
that are important to you.
699
00:27:57.010 --> 00:27:59.220
Now, over on the left-hand side,
700
00:27:59.220 --> 00:28:01.840
we have our global navigation menu.
701
00:28:01.840 --> 00:28:05.320
And this global navigation menu is really going to allow you
702
00:28:05.320 --> 00:28:08.310
to moderate and further customize
703
00:28:08.310 --> 00:28:12.120
your experience within our learning platform.
704
00:28:12.120 --> 00:28:14.192
A couple of areas to take note of
705
00:28:14.192 --> 00:28:17.370
that are really quite popular for faculty and for students
706
00:28:17.370 --> 00:28:19.660
is our capability to set up
707
00:28:19.660 --> 00:28:22.550
your own personal notification preferences.
708
00:28:22.550 --> 00:28:25.590
Notifications can be set universally for yourself,
709
00:28:25.590 --> 00:28:28.480
or you can have different notifications, per course,
710
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:30.000
that you are teaching.
711
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.920
You will be able to also set up the cadence of notifications
712
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:35.610
very simply within here.
713
00:28:35.610 --> 00:28:37.940
So if you want aggregate notifications
714
00:28:37.940 --> 00:28:39.840
at the end of the week or at the end of the day,
715
00:28:39.840 --> 00:28:42.620
depending on the learning activity taking place,
716
00:28:42.620 --> 00:28:45.260
you most certainly will be able to do that.
717
00:28:45.260 --> 00:28:46.330
And you're gonna be able
718
00:28:46.330 --> 00:28:49.230
to set up your own personal communication channels.
719
00:28:49.230 --> 00:28:50.850
It might be your UVM email,
720
00:28:50.850 --> 00:28:53.340
but maybe you want push notifications to your phone,
721
00:28:53.340 --> 00:28:56.850
or you want a secondary email address within the system,
722
00:28:56.850 --> 00:29:00.133
that is all going to be very viable for you to do.
723
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:04.570
And again, before we get into the full content build,
724
00:29:04.570 --> 00:29:06.400
I would be remiss if I didn't show you
725
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:09.960
one of my favorite tools in Canvas itself.
726
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:13.030
This tool really saves quite a lot of time
727
00:29:13.030 --> 00:29:17.620
when it comes to date management or event management
728
00:29:17.620 --> 00:29:20.440
within all of the courses that you're going to be teaching.
729
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:24.580
So essentially, the Canvas Calendar is going to offer you
730
00:29:24.580 --> 00:29:27.680
an aggregate view of all of the due dates,
731
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:30.190
personal to-do list items, events,
732
00:29:30.190 --> 00:29:32.210
office hours that you might have,
733
00:29:32.210 --> 00:29:35.380
taking place all in one area.
734
00:29:35.380 --> 00:29:40.380
This calendar will allow you as well to inline-edit
735
00:29:40.600 --> 00:29:43.110
any of the assignment is instructions
736
00:29:43.110 --> 00:29:46.090
that you may have already created within a course.
737
00:29:46.090 --> 00:29:48.140
So let's say, for whatever reason
738
00:29:48.140 --> 00:29:50.320
you made a spelling mistake in something,
739
00:29:50.320 --> 00:29:53.277
or you wanted to change up the framework for an assessment,
740
00:29:53.277 --> 00:29:57.910
you'll be able to go in and edit that information inline.
741
00:29:57.910 --> 00:30:00.740
And then that would be available to your students,
742
00:30:00.740 --> 00:30:02.400
so it's very easy to do.
743
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:05.000
And there are many faculty members that I have worked with
744
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:07.060
who tend to do a lot of course management
745
00:30:07.060 --> 00:30:08.470
right from the calendar,
746
00:30:08.470 --> 00:30:11.420
which is why I tend to showcase and highlight it
747
00:30:11.420 --> 00:30:12.770
at the beginning.
748
00:30:12.770 --> 00:30:14.380
Something else that's really key
749
00:30:14.380 --> 00:30:16.800
in terms of just general date management.
750
00:30:16.800 --> 00:30:18.380
Let's say I'm teaching a class
751
00:30:18.380 --> 00:30:21.570
and my students are not mastering the content,
752
00:30:21.570 --> 00:30:24.401
and I know that I need to push a due date,
753
00:30:24.401 --> 00:30:26.720
maybe a little bit forward for them,
754
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:28.740
to give them more opportunity.
755
00:30:28.740 --> 00:30:31.400
In order to do this in Canvas, it's very easy.
756
00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:33.950
All that you need to do is simply click
757
00:30:33.950 --> 00:30:37.240
on the particular area that you want to move,
758
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:38.460
and move it over.
759
00:30:38.460 --> 00:30:41.950
So I'm moving an assignment that was once due on the 22nd,
760
00:30:41.950 --> 00:30:44.610
and it will now be due on the 24th.
761
00:30:44.610 --> 00:30:48.170
So what's happening retroactively now is that that due date
762
00:30:48.170 --> 00:30:51.310
is being changed in the assignment itself,
763
00:30:51.310 --> 00:30:53.440
it may also be changed in the syllabus
764
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:55.470
if you're using the Canvas Syllabus,
765
00:30:55.470 --> 00:30:58.970
and your students are also going to get a notification
766
00:30:58.970 --> 00:31:01.750
telling them that their due date has changed.
767
00:31:01.750 --> 00:31:03.530
But because our system was built
768
00:31:03.530 --> 00:31:06.860
knowing that humans are fallible, we make mistakes,
769
00:31:06.860 --> 00:31:09.190
especially when we're working with software,
770
00:31:09.190 --> 00:31:11.700
notifications won't be pushed out to your students
771
00:31:11.700 --> 00:31:15.560
until after 15 minutes of this action being concrete.
772
00:31:15.560 --> 00:31:16.690
So you know that,
773
00:31:16.690 --> 00:31:19.737
for example, maybe I meant to move it on the 23rd
774
00:31:19.737 --> 00:31:21.800
and I accidentally moved it on the 24th,
775
00:31:21.800 --> 00:31:23.870
that my students aren't going to get inundated
776
00:31:23.870 --> 00:31:25.460
with notifications.
777
00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:27.817
It's already built in that system that way.
778
00:31:27.817 --> 00:31:30.750
Oh, go ahead, you're getting right to it.
779
00:31:30.750 --> 00:31:32.010
There were a couple of questions in the chat,
780
00:31:32.010 --> 00:31:34.560
but I'll let you complete this and then I'll step in,
781
00:31:34.560 --> 00:31:35.558
but go ahead, sorry.
782
00:31:35.558 --> 00:31:36.400
Okay, sure.
783
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:39.330
No, of course this is the most popular feature.
784
00:31:39.330 --> 00:31:44.140
Yeah, you can add Calendar in your everyday calendar.
785
00:31:44.140 --> 00:31:46.770
So the Canvas Calendar can go in your Outlook,
786
00:31:46.770 --> 00:31:49.367
and can go in your Google Calendar, your iCalendar.
787
00:31:49.367 --> 00:31:50.870
And what will happen is,
788
00:31:50.870 --> 00:31:54.040
every time there's changes being made to the calendar
789
00:31:54.040 --> 00:31:56.690
or the events that are taking place within Canvas,
790
00:31:56.690 --> 00:31:59.550
it will be articulated in your everyday calendar.
791
00:31:59.550 --> 00:32:00.970
So we know that most folks
792
00:32:00.970 --> 00:32:04.120
only really wanna manage one calendar at a time,
793
00:32:04.120 --> 00:32:06.664
this will allow you to do that.
794
00:32:06.664 --> 00:32:08.520
Another question that we get is,
795
00:32:08.520 --> 00:32:10.890
is there a two-way synchronization that takes place?
796
00:32:10.890 --> 00:32:12.530
You know, if I make changes in Outlook,
797
00:32:12.530 --> 00:32:14.940
is that going to also change in Canvas?
798
00:32:14.940 --> 00:32:18.130
The answer is no, so it's just a one-way push
799
00:32:18.130 --> 00:32:21.400
from Canvas into your preferred calendar of choice.
800
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:22.233
And this is something
801
00:32:22.233 --> 00:32:24.080
that your students also have access to,
802
00:32:24.080 --> 00:32:27.360
so it's a popular function for students as well.
803
00:32:27.360 --> 00:32:30.820
So Dave, I'll leave it to you if there were any questions.
804
00:32:30.820 --> 00:32:33.190
Yeah, we answered Luke and Susan Murray's right there.
805
00:32:33.190 --> 00:32:34.940
Luke and Susanmarie, before I assume
806
00:32:34.940 --> 00:32:36.380
that we answered your question,
807
00:32:36.380 --> 00:32:37.213
I wanna make sure that we do,
808
00:32:37.213 --> 00:32:39.050
that it's easy to export the calendar feed
809
00:32:39.050 --> 00:32:39.960
into your BYOD,
810
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:42.930
if you just wanna give me a thumbs up on that.
811
00:32:42.930 --> 00:32:45.500
Meanwhile, going back to...
812
00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:48.260
Luke had a question, number of students submitting,
813
00:32:48.260 --> 00:32:50.883
it shows us an integer rather than a percentage.
814
00:32:52.690 --> 00:32:54.330
For the number of students submitting,
815
00:32:54.330 --> 00:32:58.060
yeah, it's per assessment, if we go over to this to-do list.
816
00:32:58.060 --> 00:33:02.610
So for example, for this particular reflection that I have,
817
00:33:02.610 --> 00:33:04.870
five students have submitted.
818
00:33:04.870 --> 00:33:08.480
So it's not percentage based here, in what you're seeing.
819
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:10.906
So (indistinct) 200 students,
820
00:33:10.906 --> 00:33:12.706
that number is just gonna go to 170?
821
00:33:13.770 --> 00:33:14.603
Yes.
822
00:33:16.650 --> 00:33:19.860
Yeah, and Luke, the way we set up Canvas, the way it works
823
00:33:19.860 --> 00:33:21.420
is that these are these visual cues,
824
00:33:21.420 --> 00:33:23.010
like those badges you have on your phone.
825
00:33:23.010 --> 00:33:24.760
So if you have, in the App Store,
826
00:33:24.760 --> 00:33:27.830
let's say it has eight apps that need to be updated,
827
00:33:27.830 --> 00:33:29.260
it would just go ahead and say, "Eight."
828
00:33:29.260 --> 00:33:30.470
So you would know what that is.
829
00:33:30.470 --> 00:33:32.410
So this does it not only chronologically,
830
00:33:32.410 --> 00:33:33.243
but helps you understand,
831
00:33:33.243 --> 00:33:35.210
ooh, I've got five papers that I have to grade.
832
00:33:35.210 --> 00:33:36.860
So when you come into an LMS,
833
00:33:36.860 --> 00:33:40.250
you're not necessarily trying to find that next thing to do,
834
00:33:40.250 --> 00:33:42.380
you have those cues to help you to get there.
835
00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:44.652
So I hope that makes a little sense.
836
00:33:44.652 --> 00:33:49.240
Yeah, you're not going to see 170 assignments listed here,
837
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:51.500
it's going to aggregate those assignments,
838
00:33:51.500 --> 00:33:53.290
but you're gonNA have that numerical value
839
00:33:53.290 --> 00:33:54.890
to represent how many there are.
840
00:33:56.850 --> 00:33:58.036
Awesome, thanks Amineh.
841
00:33:58.036 --> 00:33:59.740
Justin asked a question,
842
00:33:59.740 --> 00:34:02.260
is there a way to allow guest access in courses?
843
00:34:02.260 --> 00:34:05.150
What are guests able to view and participate in?
844
00:34:05.150 --> 00:34:06.500
And that comes down to...
845
00:34:06.500 --> 00:34:07.540
There's a couple of elements.
846
00:34:07.540 --> 00:34:10.310
There's roles within the actual LMS,
847
00:34:10.310 --> 00:34:12.630
and then there's roles within the course.
848
00:34:12.630 --> 00:34:14.990
Amineh, you wanna comment on that?
849
00:34:14.990 --> 00:34:17.930
Yeah, definitely, in terms of guest access,
850
00:34:17.930 --> 00:34:20.340
that's something that is very popular.
851
00:34:20.340 --> 00:34:23.320
Your system administrators would be the ones
852
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:25.430
who create the custom role
853
00:34:25.430 --> 00:34:28.100
and designate the appropriate privileges
854
00:34:28.100 --> 00:34:31.120
for that individual to come into your course.
855
00:34:31.120 --> 00:34:32.510
Perhaps it's just a guest speaker
856
00:34:32.510 --> 00:34:34.400
and it's a one-time occurrence,
857
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:36.574
or maybe it's somebody that's coming into your course
858
00:34:36.574 --> 00:34:39.520
who also needs to maybe provide feedback to students.
859
00:34:39.520 --> 00:34:42.100
It really is just dependent on the use case.
860
00:34:42.100 --> 00:34:45.320
Certainly the permissions that exist within Canvas
861
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:46.750
are very, very granular.
862
00:34:46.750 --> 00:34:48.650
So customization is something
863
00:34:48.650 --> 00:34:50.580
that will be available to you for that.
864
00:34:50.580 --> 00:34:52.020
Yeah, and there's certain levels too.
865
00:34:52.020 --> 00:34:53.990
So there's primary roles right out the gate
866
00:34:53.990 --> 00:34:57.260
that can be revised in, I dunno, 80 different ways.
867
00:34:57.260 --> 00:34:58.810
One thing, which especially with the service course,
868
00:34:58.810 --> 00:35:00.850
is when you have hundreds of students
869
00:35:00.850 --> 00:35:02.750
and then you have a TA structure,
870
00:35:02.750 --> 00:35:04.830
is if you have the primary coordinator
871
00:35:04.830 --> 00:35:06.420
and the lead faculty member,
872
00:35:06.420 --> 00:35:08.350
and then the TAs who only have permission to view
873
00:35:08.350 --> 00:35:11.330
and work with that particular section,
874
00:35:11.330 --> 00:35:12.690
you can actually have an eScience
875
00:35:12.690 --> 00:35:14.730
that, that TA would only be working with that group,
876
00:35:14.730 --> 00:35:17.860
would only see their grades and their progress.
877
00:35:17.860 --> 00:35:20.860
So there's ways to even get down to that granularity.
878
00:35:20.860 --> 00:35:22.280
So I know some of you folks
879
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:24.430
may actually have a lot of students
880
00:35:24.430 --> 00:35:26.113
and trying to figure out that segments with the TA.
881
00:35:26.113 --> 00:35:29.560
So that would basically translate into that use case.
882
00:35:29.560 --> 00:35:31.010
Yeah, definitely.
883
00:35:31.010 --> 00:35:34.060
So I really wanna launch into some of the elements
884
00:35:34.060 --> 00:35:35.900
of how you're really gonna be able
885
00:35:35.900 --> 00:35:38.180
to build content in Canvas.
886
00:35:38.180 --> 00:35:41.050
When you first enter a Canvas course,
887
00:35:41.050 --> 00:35:42.860
in terms of the design of the course,
888
00:35:42.860 --> 00:35:45.100
I'm going to be showing you different examples,
889
00:35:45.100 --> 00:35:48.440
it's not at all going to be prescriptive of pedagogy.
890
00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:51.180
So if you're teaching fully online, it's gonna satisfy that.
891
00:35:51.180 --> 00:35:54.580
If you're teaching high-flex or in-class,
892
00:35:54.580 --> 00:35:56.530
and you're only gonna post a couple of documents
893
00:35:56.530 --> 00:36:00.080
in the system, it's going to support you for that.
894
00:36:00.080 --> 00:36:03.163
Certainly, what I find is that a lot of faculty,
895
00:36:03.163 --> 00:36:05.760
when they're first beginning to use Canvas,
896
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.900
they might be teaching in a certain way,
897
00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:08.940
and then they're gonna realize
898
00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:10.890
that the system has a lot of capabilities
899
00:36:10.890 --> 00:36:12.550
that they're gonna be able to leverage.
900
00:36:12.550 --> 00:36:15.350
And they slowly start to adopt them.
901
00:36:15.350 --> 00:36:19.030
So by no means, you have to adopt everything all at once.
902
00:36:19.030 --> 00:36:21.460
What I do want you to take notice of though,
903
00:36:21.460 --> 00:36:25.490
in terms of just the general design, along this menu here,
904
00:36:25.490 --> 00:36:28.840
we can see a lot of functions available to us.
905
00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:30.640
So all of these functions
906
00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:34.690
can be leveraged very easily within your curriculum.
907
00:36:34.690 --> 00:36:37.620
I typically tend to organize the functions
908
00:36:37.620 --> 00:36:38.920
or the learning activities
909
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:41.707
in something that we have called a module.
910
00:36:41.707 --> 00:36:45.220
And module is just a way for us to organize
911
00:36:45.220 --> 00:36:48.200
all of the learning content that is going to exist
912
00:36:48.200 --> 00:36:51.080
within a particular week that we're teaching,
913
00:36:51.080 --> 00:36:54.470
or maybe it's going to be by topic, concept, subject,
914
00:36:54.470 --> 00:36:56.020
it's really going to be up to you.
915
00:36:56.020 --> 00:36:58.600
So all of the terminology that you're seeing on my screen
916
00:36:58.600 --> 00:37:00.980
is heavily customizable,
917
00:37:00.980 --> 00:37:04.530
and again, related to either particular functions
918
00:37:04.530 --> 00:37:06.610
or documents, files, et cetera,
919
00:37:06.610 --> 00:37:10.450
that I would be adding into the core space.
920
00:37:10.450 --> 00:37:12.470
It's really easy to do this by the way.
921
00:37:12.470 --> 00:37:16.180
So if I just wanna create some general content here,
922
00:37:16.180 --> 00:37:18.620
all I would do is say, "Okay, here's a module.
923
00:37:18.620 --> 00:37:20.580
So I'm gonna store a bunch of content here.
924
00:37:20.580 --> 00:37:23.910
I'm gonna call this Week 1, let's call it Start.
925
00:37:23.910 --> 00:37:25.920
I'm gonna add it to my course,
926
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:27.940
it's going to fall to the very bottom,
927
00:37:27.940 --> 00:37:29.720
and then I'm going to be prompted
928
00:37:29.720 --> 00:37:31.520
to just drag and drop files
929
00:37:31.520 --> 00:37:34.590
that I might have locally on my computer.
930
00:37:34.590 --> 00:37:37.420
So these could be those PowerPoint files,
931
00:37:37.420 --> 00:37:40.580
they could be PDFs, Word documents, et cetera.
932
00:37:40.580 --> 00:37:42.630
It's just really easy to do this.
933
00:37:42.630 --> 00:37:45.580
So I could even search my desktop computer,
934
00:37:45.580 --> 00:37:48.410
I could add in, maybe this is a lecture note,
935
00:37:48.410 --> 00:37:50.130
very simple to do.
936
00:37:50.130 --> 00:37:54.230
So here I am just adding in a Word document, that quick.
937
00:37:54.230 --> 00:37:57.670
And so from this perspective as well,
938
00:37:57.670 --> 00:38:00.650
let's say it's adopting the file extension,
939
00:38:00.650 --> 00:38:02.120
you wanna change that name,
940
00:38:02.120 --> 00:38:04.840
you can just edit everything within this space here,
941
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:07.050
and shifted around as you need to.
942
00:38:07.050 --> 00:38:10.990
But our main focus is going to be on rich content.
943
00:38:10.990 --> 00:38:14.100
So the ability to create and build out
944
00:38:14.100 --> 00:38:17.820
a very layered experience for our students.
945
00:38:17.820 --> 00:38:21.427
So I'm going to go over into a content page in Canvas.
946
00:38:21.427 --> 00:38:24.380
And a content page is essentially a space
947
00:38:24.380 --> 00:38:28.030
where I can store curriculum information,
948
00:38:28.030 --> 00:38:31.180
maybe it's going to be some lecture notes
949
00:38:31.180 --> 00:38:32.700
that I've taken from a PowerPoint
950
00:38:32.700 --> 00:38:35.330
and tried to re-envision a little bit more,
951
00:38:35.330 --> 00:38:38.830
layer on a lot of activity, embed my equations,
952
00:38:38.830 --> 00:38:40.450
have video, et cetera.
953
00:38:40.450 --> 00:38:41.820
So I'm taking something
954
00:38:41.820 --> 00:38:43.410
they would have, maybe, had on a PowerPoint,
955
00:38:43.410 --> 00:38:47.230
and I'm just trying to reimagine it in this space here.
956
00:38:47.230 --> 00:38:50.370
In order to do this, we're going to be brought
957
00:38:50.370 --> 00:38:52.480
to a rich content editor.
958
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:55.610
So when we're thinking about faculty adoption,
959
00:38:55.610 --> 00:38:59.080
and how easy Canvas is to use, what I always say is,
960
00:38:59.080 --> 00:39:02.690
if you know how to use the rich content editor,
961
00:39:02.690 --> 00:39:05.780
you will essentially be able to do anything in Canvas.
962
00:39:05.780 --> 00:39:10.430
It truly is the golden key to content development,
963
00:39:10.430 --> 00:39:13.170
to assessment creation of any kind.
964
00:39:13.170 --> 00:39:14.410
So if you know how to use this,
965
00:39:14.410 --> 00:39:16.180
you're gonna be able to build a test,
966
00:39:16.180 --> 00:39:18.240
you're gonna be able to build an assignment,
967
00:39:18.240 --> 00:39:21.900
an announcement, a discussion board post, and so forth.
968
00:39:21.900 --> 00:39:25.120
Now, this rich content editor, or WYSIWYG Editor,
969
00:39:25.120 --> 00:39:28.100
what you see is what you get, is essentially broken down
970
00:39:28.100 --> 00:39:30.220
into two main portions.
971
00:39:30.220 --> 00:39:32.070
The first portion here
972
00:39:32.070 --> 00:39:35.790
is all focused in on text and formatting.
973
00:39:35.790 --> 00:39:39.040
So if you're familiar with sending out an email
974
00:39:39.040 --> 00:39:42.540
or using Microsoft Word, a lot of these functions
975
00:39:42.540 --> 00:39:45.710
are going to be very, very familiar to you.
976
00:39:45.710 --> 00:39:47.140
Also, something to note,
977
00:39:47.140 --> 00:39:49.160
when you are using the rich content editor,
978
00:39:49.160 --> 00:39:51.880
you will be able to copy and paste
979
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:55.180
from maybe current documentation that you have,
980
00:39:55.180 --> 00:39:57.100
very easily within this space.
981
00:39:57.100 --> 00:40:00.020
So it's not gonna bring over any additional code
982
00:40:00.020 --> 00:40:03.300
that's gonna muck up what your formatting is,
983
00:40:03.300 --> 00:40:05.730
it's going to strip everything out.
984
00:40:05.730 --> 00:40:09.190
In the background, we're running something called Tiny NCE.
985
00:40:09.190 --> 00:40:10.830
And so that really allows for
986
00:40:10.830 --> 00:40:12.600
a little bit of better performance
987
00:40:12.600 --> 00:40:15.160
when it comes to content creation.
988
00:40:15.160 --> 00:40:18.950
Now the power of this and where I like to really layer out
989
00:40:18.950 --> 00:40:21.610
my learning experiences, is going to be
990
00:40:21.610 --> 00:40:24.370
over on the latter half of this editor here.
991
00:40:24.370 --> 00:40:25.850
So this is the space where
992
00:40:25.850 --> 00:40:28.600
you can add in your external web links,
993
00:40:28.600 --> 00:40:30.790
or you could create course links.
994
00:40:30.790 --> 00:40:33.770
So maybe I have a call out to a lecture note
995
00:40:33.770 --> 00:40:35.350
that's somewhere else's in the course,
996
00:40:35.350 --> 00:40:38.330
I could very easily link to that note,
997
00:40:38.330 --> 00:40:42.130
directly within this space here, if I wanted to.
998
00:40:42.130 --> 00:40:43.910
So I'd be able to search a file
999
00:40:43.910 --> 00:40:46.270
that already exists within my course here,
1000
00:40:46.270 --> 00:40:49.360
and ensure that my students are also going to
1001
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:52.450
take notice of that and have that link there.
1002
00:40:52.450 --> 00:40:54.410
A few other elements that are really key
1003
00:40:54.410 --> 00:40:56.070
is image uploading.
1004
00:40:56.070 --> 00:41:00.350
Maybe you have infographics or tables that you want to use,
1005
00:41:00.350 --> 00:41:03.040
you'd be able to very easily just drop in drag,
1006
00:41:03.040 --> 00:41:05.610
or just upload all of those images
1007
00:41:05.610 --> 00:41:09.280
directly in this space here, and then add it to your course.
1008
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:13.310
If images are not something that you have in plenty,
1009
00:41:13.310 --> 00:41:16.980
you could definitely go in and search for images
1010
00:41:16.980 --> 00:41:18.510
using Unsplash.
1011
00:41:18.510 --> 00:41:21.570
Unsplash is our royalty-free content
1012
00:41:21.570 --> 00:41:23.827
that you always have access to.
1013
00:41:23.827 --> 00:41:25.980
And essentially you'll be able to search for anything
1014
00:41:25.980 --> 00:41:29.860
without having to have anything paid, this is entirely free,
1015
00:41:29.860 --> 00:41:33.050
and I would be able to very quickly add in an image,
1016
00:41:33.050 --> 00:41:36.380
let's, say to my learning content.
1017
00:41:36.380 --> 00:41:40.570
Now this image is going to expand quite a lot.
1018
00:41:40.570 --> 00:41:44.070
So all I would have to do is drop and drag, and play around
1019
00:41:44.070 --> 00:41:47.280
with how I want this image to be presented
1020
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:49.340
within my course here.
1021
00:41:49.340 --> 00:41:53.180
I'm also going to have access to additional image options.
1022
00:41:53.180 --> 00:41:56.030
What I like about Unsplash is that it's always going to add
1023
00:41:56.030 --> 00:41:59.030
your alternative texts, so that your screen readers
1024
00:41:59.030 --> 00:42:02.223
are going to be able to read over all of your images here.
1025
00:42:03.210 --> 00:42:06.070
Now, a couple other options for you.
1026
00:42:06.070 --> 00:42:09.320
In terms of just maybe adding in additional media,
1027
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:13.220
maybe you have some videos that you want students to watch,
1028
00:42:13.220 --> 00:42:16.860
certainly, if you have those locally stored on your computer
1029
00:42:16.860 --> 00:42:19.540
or elsewhere, you'd be able to drop in drag
1030
00:42:19.540 --> 00:42:21.750
or just upload them within this space
1031
00:42:21.750 --> 00:42:23.340
and add it to the course.
1032
00:42:23.340 --> 00:42:27.720
Now, if, let's say this content is more of an announcement,
1033
00:42:27.720 --> 00:42:30.550
maybe, I'm creating an announcement instead, I would be able
1034
00:42:30.550 --> 00:42:33.390
to just record myself inline,
1035
00:42:33.390 --> 00:42:37.460
and be able to allow my students to listen to me,
1036
00:42:37.460 --> 00:42:40.940
maybe make a quick message and then dismiss it
1037
00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:43.420
and go along in the rest of their curriculum.
1038
00:42:43.420 --> 00:42:45.930
So this will allow that to occur.
1039
00:42:45.930 --> 00:42:48.870
I do have a little bit of slower Internet this afternoon,
1040
00:42:48.870 --> 00:42:52.640
so I might get back to the recording piece, but just know
1041
00:42:52.640 --> 00:42:54.990
that it's going to just acknowledge your webcam
1042
00:42:54.990 --> 00:42:58.600
and allow you to record very easily.
1043
00:42:58.600 --> 00:43:01.370
Now, a few other options within this space here.
1044
00:43:01.370 --> 00:43:03.190
Let's say I have a lot of learning content,
1045
00:43:03.190 --> 00:43:05.840
I have images, I have equations on this page,
1046
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:07.370
maybe I have a lecture note
1047
00:43:07.370 --> 00:43:10.670
that I just want to load into this space here,
1048
00:43:10.670 --> 00:43:12.700
you're also going to be able to do that.
1049
00:43:12.700 --> 00:43:14.470
So don't feel like you can't upload
1050
00:43:14.470 --> 00:43:16.480
all of those files that you already have.
1051
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:19.370
You could very well do it in this space, depending on
1052
00:43:19.370 --> 00:43:23.460
the experience you're trying to build for your students.
1053
00:43:23.460 --> 00:43:26.540
Now, when it comes to third-party tool integrations,
1054
00:43:26.540 --> 00:43:30.080
of which we've had these conversations already,
1055
00:43:30.080 --> 00:43:32.400
certainly, any of the integrations
1056
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:35.940
that your system admins are going to be setting up,
1057
00:43:35.940 --> 00:43:38.530
you'll potentially have access to.
1058
00:43:38.530 --> 00:43:42.300
So Office 365, let's say you have documentation
1059
00:43:42.300 --> 00:43:44.130
that you want to just load into your course
1060
00:43:44.130 --> 00:43:45.840
that you already have stored,
1061
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:48.630
you would be able to do that very easily.
1062
00:43:48.630 --> 00:43:51.690
One popular tool obviously is going to be YouTube.
1063
00:43:51.690 --> 00:43:54.880
And so if I wanted to search YouTube very quickly,
1064
00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:58.020
and add a YouTube video directly into my course,
1065
00:43:58.020 --> 00:43:59.900
I would be able to do so.
1066
00:43:59.900 --> 00:44:02.290
All of the ad role within this video
1067
00:44:02.290 --> 00:44:04.480
is also going to be stripped out.
1068
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:07.050
So your students aren't going to get ads for insurance
1069
00:44:07.050 --> 00:44:10.550
and CATs or any of that, that's gonna keep them more
1070
00:44:10.550 --> 00:44:12.593
in the learning experience here.
1071
00:44:13.930 --> 00:44:17.270
Now, in terms of a couple other options at your disposal,
1072
00:44:17.270 --> 00:44:19.270
what I should make mention of is that,
1073
00:44:19.270 --> 00:44:21.710
if you are using a third-party tool
1074
00:44:21.710 --> 00:44:25.130
and maybe there's an embed code, maybe you have SoundCloud,
1075
00:44:25.130 --> 00:44:26.260
or you using Padlet,
1076
00:44:26.260 --> 00:44:28.720
you would just put in that I-frame code here
1077
00:44:28.720 --> 00:44:31.562
and your learning object would appear.
1078
00:44:31.562 --> 00:44:34.340
Now, when it comes to equations,
1079
00:44:34.340 --> 00:44:36.010
this is gonna be really key,
1080
00:44:36.010 --> 00:44:39.900
we do have a basic and an advanced equation editor.
1081
00:44:39.900 --> 00:44:41.930
So I would prefer to use the advanced,
1082
00:44:41.930 --> 00:44:43.840
and you would just type in all of your LaTech
1083
00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:47.000
and it would render directly in this space.
1084
00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:50.080
Something to take note of when it comes to our equations
1085
00:44:50.080 --> 00:44:52.550
that we have within the system,
1086
00:44:52.550 --> 00:44:54.760
they're all going to be rendered in MathJacks,
1087
00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:59.550
which just ensures that your students using screen readers
1088
00:44:59.550 --> 00:45:03.133
are going to be able to understand what those equations are.
1089
00:45:04.410 --> 00:45:09.320
In terms of additional additives to the space as well,
1090
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:11.660
we do have two HTML editors.
1091
00:45:11.660 --> 00:45:14.619
We have something called a pretty HTML editor,
1092
00:45:14.619 --> 00:45:17.380
and then we also have a raw HTML editor.
1093
00:45:17.380 --> 00:45:20.040
So if you want to add carousels and drop downs
1094
00:45:20.040 --> 00:45:22.020
and that sort of thing,
1095
00:45:22.020 --> 00:45:25.340
you would be able to do so in this space.
1096
00:45:25.340 --> 00:45:27.450
Dave, was that you?
1097
00:45:27.450 --> 00:45:29.410
Oh, no, I went on mute and I came back on.
1098
00:45:29.410 --> 00:45:31.460
I'm waiting for a correct pause,
1099
00:45:31.460 --> 00:45:33.300
and then we could address a couple more questions.
1100
00:45:33.300 --> 00:45:34.640
Okay, definitely.
1101
00:45:34.640 --> 00:45:37.302
I'm just going to finalize accessibility here,
1102
00:45:37.302 --> 00:45:40.030
and then we are going to very briefly cover
1103
00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:45.310
the option where it was focusing more on code,
1104
00:45:45.310 --> 00:45:48.163
and adding in Python or C++, et cetera.
1105
00:45:48.163 --> 00:45:49.413
So I am gonna cover that.
1106
00:45:51.110 --> 00:45:53.260
In terms of just accessibility though,
1107
00:45:53.260 --> 00:45:55.130
there is a built in checker.
1108
00:45:55.130 --> 00:45:56.950
It's going to allow you to know
1109
00:45:56.950 --> 00:46:01.540
what may need to be remediated within your rich content.
1110
00:46:01.540 --> 00:46:05.860
All of this is being derived from the WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
1111
00:46:05.860 --> 00:46:08.310
So those are the web accessibility guidelines
1112
00:46:08.310 --> 00:46:10.660
that we are following within here.
1113
00:46:10.660 --> 00:46:13.760
And you can make all of the read mediations inline.
1114
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:15.040
What I like about this though,
1115
00:46:15.040 --> 00:46:17.350
is that it's not prescriptive at all.
1116
00:46:17.350 --> 00:46:19.290
So if there are changes you do not want to make,
1117
00:46:19.290 --> 00:46:21.370
you do not have to make them.
1118
00:46:21.370 --> 00:46:23.530
It's always going to keep you aware
1119
00:46:23.530 --> 00:46:26.110
with this little numerical value up at the top.
1120
00:46:26.110 --> 00:46:27.450
This little bubble is just telling you
1121
00:46:27.450 --> 00:46:31.083
how many accessibility remediations should be taking place.
1122
00:46:32.600 --> 00:46:34.740
So I will pause there
1123
00:46:34.740 --> 00:46:36.950
and I am going to go into a coding course,
1124
00:46:36.950 --> 00:46:41.120
just to show one example of code rendering.
1125
00:46:41.120 --> 00:46:43.990
Dave, if there's any questions, I can certainly answer them.
1126
00:46:43.990 --> 00:46:44.854
Yeah, a quick one.
1127
00:46:44.854 --> 00:46:48.186
As far as pronouns are concerned, how they're pulled in,
1128
00:46:48.186 --> 00:46:51.121
do students and faculty get a chance to set that?
1129
00:46:51.121 --> 00:46:53.230
And how does that propagate from course to course?
1130
00:46:53.230 --> 00:46:54.063
Yeah, definitely,
1131
00:46:54.063 --> 00:46:57.310
so, what you could potentially do...
1132
00:46:57.310 --> 00:46:59.591
And I know we had another conversation about this.
1133
00:46:59.591 --> 00:47:01.770
There might be research done to look at,
1134
00:47:01.770 --> 00:47:02.990
bringing that information over
1135
00:47:02.990 --> 00:47:04.780
from your student information system
1136
00:47:04.780 --> 00:47:06.970
and having it auto-populate in Canvas,
1137
00:47:06.970 --> 00:47:08.900
that's very viable to do.
1138
00:47:08.900 --> 00:47:12.750
Certainly within Canvas itself, system administrators
1139
00:47:12.750 --> 00:47:14.710
and other teams that you're working with
1140
00:47:14.710 --> 00:47:17.100
can decide on all of the different pronouns
1141
00:47:17.100 --> 00:47:19.210
that you might be using at your institution,
1142
00:47:19.210 --> 00:47:21.510
and then a learner or a faculty member
1143
00:47:21.510 --> 00:47:23.530
would be able to go into their own account
1144
00:47:23.530 --> 00:47:26.420
and set their pronouns.
1145
00:47:26.420 --> 00:47:29.167
And so in any course that is being taught,
1146
00:47:29.167 --> 00:47:30.750
you would be able to see
1147
00:47:30.750 --> 00:47:33.783
the preferred pronouns for your students, and vice versa.
1148
00:47:34.820 --> 00:47:36.090
Awesome, thank you, Amineh.
1149
00:47:36.090 --> 00:47:39.380
What's the difference between modules and pages?
1150
00:47:39.380 --> 00:47:42.350
Yeah, good example, so a module here,
1151
00:47:42.350 --> 00:47:46.360
a module in any case is really just a storage bucket
1152
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:49.970
for all of your course information
1153
00:47:49.970 --> 00:47:51.820
that is in any given week.
1154
00:47:51.820 --> 00:47:55.690
So you can think of it as a way to categorize
1155
00:47:55.690 --> 00:47:58.554
and organize all of the weeks
1156
00:47:58.554 --> 00:48:02.100
in the semester that you're teaching, or it's a great way
1157
00:48:02.100 --> 00:48:04.120
to organize your course content
1158
00:48:04.120 --> 00:48:07.620
by subject matter or concept.
1159
00:48:07.620 --> 00:48:10.300
So you can think of it as almost like a folder,
1160
00:48:10.300 --> 00:48:12.660
but it's a little bit different than that,
1161
00:48:12.660 --> 00:48:14.793
it's more of an open-faced folder.
1162
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:17.670
Great, thank you, Amineh.
1163
00:48:17.670 --> 00:48:19.780
There are a couple of other questions that are in time,
1164
00:48:19.780 --> 00:48:21.380
there are a couple that I think we'll cover later
1165
00:48:21.380 --> 00:48:23.677
when we get into assessments and what have you,
1166
00:48:23.677 --> 00:48:25.390
but one is, is there a way
1167
00:48:25.390 --> 00:48:28.920
to integrate an image search with eText from publishers?
1168
00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:31.880
Can we get images in the alternative text
1169
00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:33.463
directly from publishers?
1170
00:48:35.040 --> 00:48:36.990
Directly from publishers?
1171
00:48:36.990 --> 00:48:39.270
Is there a particular publisher that...
1172
00:48:39.270 --> 00:48:40.470
'Cause every single publisher
1173
00:48:40.470 --> 00:48:45.430
will have their own prescription when it comes to
1174
00:48:45.430 --> 00:48:48.760
what someone can access from their system.
1175
00:48:48.760 --> 00:48:51.493
So is there a publisher in particular?
1176
00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:56.370
I asked that question.
1177
00:48:56.370 --> 00:48:59.100
We work with Pearson quite a bit in the Physics Department,
1178
00:48:59.100 --> 00:49:01.880
but I'm just wondering, do you have protocols in place
1179
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:03.480
to reach out to publishers
1180
00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:06.550
and say, "Hey, this is the ebook we're using.
1181
00:49:06.550 --> 00:49:08.820
I wanna put my lecture notes on there
1182
00:49:08.820 --> 00:49:11.110
when we create content, especially for online classes,
1183
00:49:11.110 --> 00:49:12.880
if I'm building online modules,
1184
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:15.480
where I can be referencing the ebook and using that directly
1185
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:18.520
from mounting that ebook inside of the Canvas space
1186
00:49:18.520 --> 00:49:21.430
and be able to pull those images and the alternate text
1187
00:49:21.430 --> 00:49:22.930
and that kinda thing, indirectly?
1188
00:49:22.930 --> 00:49:25.420
So we use Pearson, but I'm wondering
1189
00:49:25.420 --> 00:49:27.290
any publisher that you'd do that with.
1190
00:49:27.290 --> 00:49:32.290
Yeah, I know Pearson and McGraw Hill, Wiley.
1191
00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:37.970
Those are all partners that we do have at Instructure.
1192
00:49:37.970 --> 00:49:40.050
In terms of the depth of integration
1193
00:49:40.050 --> 00:49:42.010
or the integration that you're speaking of,
1194
00:49:42.010 --> 00:49:45.430
this is something that we can definitely look into.
1195
00:49:45.430 --> 00:49:48.780
Every publisher has, in a sense,
1196
00:49:48.780 --> 00:49:51.990
a different depth of integration with Canvas.
1197
00:49:51.990 --> 00:49:55.960
I've just written that down so we can take that back with us
1198
00:49:55.960 --> 00:49:57.880
and let you know.
1199
00:49:57.880 --> 00:49:59.450
Yeah, and Luke, I can say as well,
1200
00:49:59.450 --> 00:50:01.927
'cause I used to work in the publishing space a while back,
1201
00:50:01.927 --> 00:50:04.060
they've all done a pretty good job
1202
00:50:04.060 --> 00:50:06.010
as far as what resources are available
1203
00:50:06.010 --> 00:50:08.730
in that ancillary support to faculty in that realm,
1204
00:50:08.730 --> 00:50:09.770
but to Amineh's point,
1205
00:50:09.770 --> 00:50:12.040
it comes down to the type of integration.
1206
00:50:12.040 --> 00:50:15.420
If it's a pretty robust integration, I would think,
1207
00:50:15.420 --> 00:50:17.300
Pearson would have one, and Cengage,
1208
00:50:17.300 --> 00:50:19.773
and others that are the behemoths, if you will.
1209
00:50:20.750 --> 00:50:22.890
You know, once that LTI connection is there,
1210
00:50:22.890 --> 00:50:23.900
you have the database,
1211
00:50:23.900 --> 00:50:26.160
so if you pulled an image over from there,
1212
00:50:26.160 --> 00:50:27.840
all the attributes come over with that,
1213
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:29.880
things like all texts and that sort of thing.
1214
00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:31.150
So the only thing we would wanna do...
1215
00:50:31.150 --> 00:50:32.880
And this might be a good question.
1216
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:37.160
If you want to, Alex, give us an idea
1217
00:50:37.160 --> 00:50:40.420
of all the main ones that you use.
1218
00:50:40.420 --> 00:50:42.240
We'll work on our end to find out what gets there,
1219
00:50:42.240 --> 00:50:45.010
but you may want to ask your pod rep,
1220
00:50:45.010 --> 00:50:46.377
the Pearson rep that you have,
1221
00:50:46.377 --> 00:50:48.804
"Hey, what sort of integration do you have?
1222
00:50:48.804 --> 00:50:52.860
Are there support for the texts?" And that sort of thing.
1223
00:50:52.860 --> 00:50:55.010
Together that would help us bridge that gap,
1224
00:50:55.010 --> 00:50:57.520
if you will, and help answer that question for you.
1225
00:50:57.520 --> 00:50:59.110
And we'll look into Pearson
1226
00:50:59.110 --> 00:51:01.330
and one other element to note.
1227
00:51:01.330 --> 00:51:03.090
That's why there's such an importance
1228
00:51:03.090 --> 00:51:07.093
in testing a sandbox out or a staging site.
1229
00:51:08.160 --> 00:51:11.141
When you have a staging site and you do have access,
1230
00:51:11.141 --> 00:51:12.940
At least there is a staging site
1231
00:51:12.940 --> 00:51:14.770
for the University of Vermont,
1232
00:51:14.770 --> 00:51:17.900
oftentimes schools will go in, test out the integration,
1233
00:51:17.900 --> 00:51:20.880
see what the robustness of the integration is,
1234
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:24.060
and then continue on to ask those questions.
1235
00:51:24.060 --> 00:51:26.370
Oftentimes too, what's being evaluated
1236
00:51:26.370 --> 00:51:28.710
is not only how robust the integration is,
1237
00:51:28.710 --> 00:51:32.080
but how seamless it is in terms of just the general setup,
1238
00:51:32.080 --> 00:51:34.120
because the setup of these integrations
1239
00:51:34.120 --> 00:51:38.160
does vary depending on the solution that you're looking at.
1240
00:51:38.160 --> 00:51:40.530
Yeah, which obviously was the general comment too,
1241
00:51:40.530 --> 00:51:42.510
everything that we're telling you today,
1242
00:51:42.510 --> 00:51:43.700
it looks great, it's awesome.
1243
00:51:43.700 --> 00:51:46.470
I mean, Amineh has an awesome sandbox of our own here,
1244
00:51:46.470 --> 00:51:48.460
but I would say trust, but verify.
1245
00:51:48.460 --> 00:51:51.150
Everything that we're telling you, please prove it out.
1246
00:51:51.150 --> 00:51:52.487
We do have the sandbox available for you,
1247
00:51:52.487 --> 00:51:54.210
and this would be one example of that.
1248
00:51:54.210 --> 00:51:56.811
So make sure that you take everything that we're telling you
1249
00:51:56.811 --> 00:51:59.200
as truth, but you'll want to go ahead
1250
00:51:59.200 --> 00:52:00.820
and try it out for yourself.
1251
00:52:00.820 --> 00:52:02.960
Final question before you move on Amineh.
1252
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:05.150
This comes down to generating those videos,
1253
00:52:05.150 --> 00:52:07.380
recording a video in the assignment.
1254
00:52:07.380 --> 00:52:09.600
Do captions come automatically for that?
1255
00:52:09.600 --> 00:52:10.901
And you may wanna also just
1256
00:52:10.901 --> 00:52:13.540
talk a little bit about Studio there.
1257
00:52:13.540 --> 00:52:14.373
Yeah, definitely.
1258
00:52:14.373 --> 00:52:17.120
So in terms of the captions themselves,
1259
00:52:17.120 --> 00:52:20.360
for those just on the fly videos that are being created,
1260
00:52:20.360 --> 00:52:23.450
there are no captions readily generated,
1261
00:52:23.450 --> 00:52:26.220
as certainly you can upload a caption file,
1262
00:52:26.220 --> 00:52:28.490
like a .srt file to those captions
1263
00:52:28.490 --> 00:52:30.980
in order to ensure that universal design
1264
00:52:30.980 --> 00:52:34.560
or certain accessibility policies are being satisfied.
1265
00:52:34.560 --> 00:52:39.210
We do have a video solution inherently, built within Canvas.
1266
00:52:39.210 --> 00:52:41.650
It is an add on product though.
1267
00:52:41.650 --> 00:52:44.360
It's called Studio and it does autocaption
1268
00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:46.413
all of the videos that are generated.
1269
00:52:50.910 --> 00:52:52.403
Awesome, thank you Amineh.
1270
00:52:52.403 --> 00:52:54.200
So just to finalize
1271
00:52:54.200 --> 00:52:56.800
the last component of this use case here,
1272
00:52:56.800 --> 00:53:01.800
we're speaking more to syntax support when it comes to code.
1273
00:53:02.133 --> 00:53:05.950
Canvas, in terms of rendering of the syntax
1274
00:53:05.950 --> 00:53:07.800
let's say I'm bringing over from Atom
1275
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:10.250
and I'm trying to generate within here for my learners,
1276
00:53:10.250 --> 00:53:12.450
it's not gonna generate in the same way,
1277
00:53:12.450 --> 00:53:14.230
it's just gonna be stripped down,
1278
00:53:14.230 --> 00:53:17.170
it's just gonna showcase, essentially,
1279
00:53:17.170 --> 00:53:19.320
the general functions.
1280
00:53:19.320 --> 00:53:23.180
So if you would like to have a better depth of the syntax
1281
00:53:23.180 --> 00:53:25.110
like I have here, my suggestion
1282
00:53:25.110 --> 00:53:27.590
is to use something like a Y Learning.
1283
00:53:27.590 --> 00:53:29.010
It's entirely free,
1284
00:53:29.010 --> 00:53:32.750
it takes literally 20 to 30 seconds to set up,
1285
00:53:32.750 --> 00:53:35.210
and it's just a third-party tool,
1286
00:53:35.210 --> 00:53:37.470
so you can see code highlight here.
1287
00:53:37.470 --> 00:53:40.130
I would be able to leverage this, put my code in,
1288
00:53:40.130 --> 00:53:43.230
and decide on the aesthetic approach that I wanna take.
1289
00:53:43.230 --> 00:53:46.793
So very easy to do, though, within Canvas here.
1290
00:53:48.606 --> 00:53:51.330
And what I also want to just briefly make note of
1291
00:53:51.330 --> 00:53:54.000
is that any of the content
1292
00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:55.950
that you're building in a rich content editor,
1293
00:53:55.950 --> 00:53:59.640
whether it be just general-curriculum-based content,
1294
00:53:59.640 --> 00:54:02.790
or perhaps it's gonna be an assignment you're creating
1295
00:54:02.790 --> 00:54:05.800
and you're building that out, there's auto save.
1296
00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:08.130
So if your internet just plummets,
1297
00:54:08.130 --> 00:54:10.580
or you accidentally close the browser window,
1298
00:54:10.580 --> 00:54:13.080
when you come back to that rich content editor,
1299
00:54:13.080 --> 00:54:17.030
it's gonna ask you if you want your content retrieved,
1300
00:54:17.030 --> 00:54:18.620
if you want your content back.
1301
00:54:18.620 --> 00:54:21.490
So that's something to take note of.
1302
00:54:21.490 --> 00:54:24.370
Now, in terms of our second use case,
1303
00:54:24.370 --> 00:54:27.712
we're really focused in on student engagement.
1304
00:54:27.712 --> 00:54:31.550
There are several options within Canvas
1305
00:54:31.550 --> 00:54:33.530
that are going to satisfy engagement
1306
00:54:33.530 --> 00:54:36.470
depending on how you define engagement
1307
00:54:36.470 --> 00:54:39.710
for your curriculum more specifically,
1308
00:54:39.710 --> 00:54:41.510
but one option that is obviously
1309
00:54:41.510 --> 00:54:46.010
going to be the most popular is our discussion board.
1310
00:54:46.010 --> 00:54:50.040
And in terms of creating discussions in Canvas,
1311
00:54:50.040 --> 00:54:53.490
Foreign Instructor, it's very, very simple to do.
1312
00:54:53.490 --> 00:54:56.560
Again, we have our rich content editor.
1313
00:54:56.560 --> 00:54:59.220
This is where you're plugging in that discussion prompt,
1314
00:54:59.220 --> 00:55:02.170
or perhaps you're just adding in your instructions
1315
00:55:02.170 --> 00:55:04.740
that you have in a Microsoft Word document.
1316
00:55:04.740 --> 00:55:07.460
And then you're going to be able, in addition to this,
1317
00:55:07.460 --> 00:55:11.780
to very easily set up the criteria that you wish to have.
1318
00:55:11.780 --> 00:55:15.950
So let's say you have your course divided into groups,
1319
00:55:15.950 --> 00:55:18.620
and everybody that is working within their group
1320
00:55:18.620 --> 00:55:20.550
needs to respond to this prompt
1321
00:55:20.550 --> 00:55:23.750
and just have the conversation together in their group.
1322
00:55:23.750 --> 00:55:26.490
You are going to be able to do that very easily,
1323
00:55:26.490 --> 00:55:27.330
or if you want this
1324
00:55:27.330 --> 00:55:29.740
to be something distributed to the rest of the class,
1325
00:55:29.740 --> 00:55:32.650
certainly that is going to be a viable option.
1326
00:55:32.650 --> 00:55:34.760
If you are teaching a class
1327
00:55:34.760 --> 00:55:37.860
that is cross-listed, or cross merged,
1328
00:55:37.860 --> 00:55:40.700
meaning you're teaching multiple sections in one course,
1329
00:55:40.700 --> 00:55:42.930
you are going to be able to distribute,
1330
00:55:42.930 --> 00:55:45.930
let's say, the due dates for particular discussion
1331
00:55:45.930 --> 00:55:48.710
or any type of an assessment within Canvas, very easily
1332
00:55:48.710 --> 00:55:51.850
to those particular sections.
1333
00:55:51.850 --> 00:55:53.057
Now, I'm going to cancel out of here,
1334
00:55:53.057 --> 00:55:55.160
and just go through a little bit more
1335
00:55:55.160 --> 00:55:58.352
of what the discussion board could potentially look like.
1336
00:55:58.352 --> 00:56:02.850
When it comes to student responses, we have redone
1337
00:56:02.850 --> 00:56:05.440
an entire redesign of what our discussions look like.
1338
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:07.940
And this redesign has been very recent
1339
00:56:07.940 --> 00:56:10.260
within the past two months or so.
1340
00:56:10.260 --> 00:56:13.440
When a student wants to reply directly to the instructor,
1341
00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:16.370
because that's usually a part of the instructions,
1342
00:56:16.370 --> 00:56:18.960
they just simply have to toggle on the reply,
1343
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:22.230
it's right beneath the prompt, so there's no confusion
1344
00:56:22.230 --> 00:56:25.140
in terms of where students are responding.
1345
00:56:25.140 --> 00:56:28.260
You're gonna notice as well that all of your learners
1346
00:56:28.260 --> 00:56:31.760
are gonna have access to the rich content editor.
1347
00:56:31.760 --> 00:56:34.350
So essentially much of what you have access to,
1348
00:56:34.350 --> 00:56:37.380
to build the content is what they can then leverage
1349
00:56:37.380 --> 00:56:39.870
in terms of making a really differentiated,
1350
00:56:39.870 --> 00:56:42.920
and potentially creative reply to your prompt,
1351
00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:45.130
depending on what the learning outcome
1352
00:56:45.130 --> 00:56:48.640
and the instructions are, for the course themselves.
1353
00:56:48.640 --> 00:56:52.500
When it comes to looking at the various prompts that exist,
1354
00:56:52.500 --> 00:56:55.950
it's done in a very linear fashion,
1355
00:56:55.950 --> 00:56:58.950
very easy to organize if you needed to.
1356
00:56:58.950 --> 00:57:02.350
If there are going to be any replies back
1357
00:57:02.350 --> 00:57:05.710
to a particular prompt, you're gonna be able to click
1358
00:57:05.710 --> 00:57:08.180
and review the reply that was made.
1359
00:57:08.180 --> 00:57:10.990
So this is all a part of the design.
1360
00:57:10.990 --> 00:57:13.730
We find that in a lot of threaded situations,
1361
00:57:13.730 --> 00:57:17.270
students sometimes get a little bit disorganized,
1362
00:57:17.270 --> 00:57:19.640
there's not enough visual cues for them
1363
00:57:19.640 --> 00:57:23.090
to ensure that they're responding to the right individuals.
1364
00:57:23.090 --> 00:57:24.150
Because a lot of the times,
1365
00:57:24.150 --> 00:57:25.960
in terms of discussion assessment,
1366
00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:27.230
they're supposed to be responding
1367
00:57:27.230 --> 00:57:29.080
to a couple of other peers in the class
1368
00:57:29.080 --> 00:57:31.350
in order to get full marks.
1369
00:57:31.350 --> 00:57:33.150
So we've made sure that that design
1370
00:57:33.150 --> 00:57:36.480
is a little bit more straightforward for them.
1371
00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:40.520
And when it comes to grading any type of a discussion,
1372
00:57:40.520 --> 00:57:44.150
if you have graded discussions, when you are grading them,
1373
00:57:44.150 --> 00:57:46.510
you are going to see an aggregate
1374
00:57:46.510 --> 00:57:49.070
of that student's responses.
1375
00:57:49.070 --> 00:57:52.020
So you're not going to only see the prompt
1376
00:57:52.020 --> 00:57:53.023
that they replied back to you,
1377
00:57:53.023 --> 00:57:55.390
but you're gonna see all of the replies
1378
00:57:55.390 --> 00:57:57.710
that they've made to other peers in their class,
1379
00:57:57.710 --> 00:58:00.160
if that's how the mark is going to be derived.
1380
00:58:00.160 --> 00:58:01.760
So we aggregate it all for you,
1381
00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:05.450
it makes it so much easier to mark.
1382
00:58:05.450 --> 00:58:07.990
Now, when it comes to other options,
1383
00:58:07.990 --> 00:58:10.940
in terms of collaboration and engagement,
1384
00:58:10.940 --> 00:58:12.062
I'm gonna cover that.
1385
00:58:12.062 --> 00:58:15.270
Something that is key is that you can search
1386
00:58:15.270 --> 00:58:18.760
for particular students, et cetera, within this page here.
1387
00:58:18.760 --> 00:58:21.390
That can be, again, another tactic that you use
1388
00:58:21.390 --> 00:58:22.350
if you're going to be going in
1389
00:58:22.350 --> 00:58:24.513
and replying to your learners.
1390
00:58:25.990 --> 00:58:28.746
So when it comes to other elements of engagement,
1391
00:58:28.746 --> 00:58:32.550
collaboration's is a tool that is very popular to use.
1392
00:58:32.550 --> 00:58:35.300
Essentially, what it's going to allow you to do
1393
00:58:35.300 --> 00:58:37.240
is set up documents
1394
00:58:37.240 --> 00:58:41.180
that students are going to be able to work on together.
1395
00:58:41.180 --> 00:58:43.080
So this could be using Google,
1396
00:58:43.080 --> 00:58:45.120
but I know you're a Microsoft shop,
1397
00:58:45.120 --> 00:58:49.510
so you'd be able to set up these particular documents,
1398
00:58:49.510 --> 00:58:52.170
maybe it's just going to be an active word page
1399
00:58:52.170 --> 00:58:55.310
that students are all going on and working on together,
1400
00:58:55.310 --> 00:58:58.320
maybe it's gonna be an Excel spreadsheet or a PowerPoint,
1401
00:58:58.320 --> 00:59:00.920
you're gonna be able to decide what that is,
1402
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:05.300
and then allow students to be collaborators on the document.
1403
00:59:05.300 --> 00:59:08.220
So you can pick and choose who's collaborating,
1404
00:59:08.220 --> 00:59:11.363
or you could do it by group membership as well.
1405
00:59:14.300 --> 00:59:15.800
And I will go in and just show you
1406
00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:17.640
what that could potentially look like
1407
00:59:17.640 --> 00:59:19.803
in terms of the integration.
1408
00:59:19.803 --> 00:59:22.480
So it's gonna open in a new browser tab,
1409
00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:24.694
and all of your learners will be able to go in
1410
00:59:24.694 --> 00:59:29.694
and collaborate with one another on that document.
1411
00:59:32.490 --> 00:59:34.663
Dave, were there any additional questions?
1412
00:59:35.730 --> 00:59:38.300
No, there's one question on the assessment side,
1413
00:59:38.300 --> 00:59:40.066
we haven't gotten to assessments yet.
1414
00:59:40.066 --> 00:59:42.070
Luke asked another question
1415
00:59:42.070 --> 00:59:44.290
about group-assignments submission,
1416
00:59:44.290 --> 00:59:46.790
students creating groups for themselves,
1417
00:59:46.790 --> 00:59:50.780
and then student uploads and assignments and grades
1418
00:59:50.780 --> 00:59:53.210
and comments to all students in that group.
1419
00:59:53.210 --> 00:59:55.620
That might be more in the realm
1420
00:59:55.620 --> 00:59:58.350
of a peer assessment in a group group grading.
1421
00:59:59.423 --> 01:00:00.550
Yeah, definitely.
1422
01:00:00.550 --> 01:00:04.190
And when it comes to just setting up groups within Canvas,
1423
01:00:04.190 --> 01:00:06.480
very, very simple to do.
1424
01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:10.350
You are gonna be able to stipulate, if it's a large set,
1425
01:00:10.350 --> 01:00:13.530
maybe it's gonna be a general presentation set,
1426
01:00:13.530 --> 01:00:15.180
you're gonna be able to state that.
1427
01:00:15.180 --> 01:00:17.680
If it's going to be self-signup to the groups,
1428
01:00:17.680 --> 01:00:18.960
that's an option.
1429
01:00:18.960 --> 01:00:21.000
Perhaps it's not gonna be self signup,
1430
01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:23.430
maybe it's going to be manual distribution,
1431
01:00:23.430 --> 01:00:25.980
or you want the system to generate it for you.
1432
01:00:25.980 --> 01:00:27.120
It's going to be up to you
1433
01:00:27.120 --> 01:00:30.640
in terms of how the group membership is derived.
1434
01:00:30.640 --> 01:00:33.820
When it comes to quick changes on the fly,
1435
01:00:33.820 --> 01:00:37.270
even if you have automatically set these groups up,
1436
01:00:37.270 --> 01:00:40.620
or students were self signing up, if there's an issue
1437
01:00:40.620 --> 01:00:43.620
or somebody needs to be moved, very easy to do on this page,
1438
01:00:43.620 --> 01:00:46.720
is just a drag and drop to move all of the group members
1439
01:00:46.720 --> 01:00:48.470
around with each other.
1440
01:00:48.470 --> 01:00:50.070
And when it comes to
1441
01:00:50.070 --> 01:00:52.970
what the group spaces really do look like,
1442
01:00:52.970 --> 01:00:55.760
you will be able to very easily go in
1443
01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:59.600
and be that omniscient presence within the groups.
1444
01:00:59.600 --> 01:01:01.300
A group space looks a lot
1445
01:01:01.300 --> 01:01:03.910
like a miniature course in many ways.
1446
01:01:03.910 --> 01:01:05.620
So students are going to have access
1447
01:01:05.620 --> 01:01:09.780
to a lot of collaborative tools, including the capability
1448
01:01:09.780 --> 01:01:13.920
to have a very short web conferences with each other.
1449
01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:16.776
We do have a partnership with BigBlueButton.
1450
01:01:16.776 --> 01:01:18.820
So that just comes as a part of Core Canvas.
1451
01:01:18.820 --> 01:01:21.680
They can quickly jump on a call with each other,
1452
01:01:21.680 --> 01:01:22.870
if they prefer to use that,
1453
01:01:22.870 --> 01:01:25.543
and not potentially Teams or something like that.
1454
01:01:27.140 --> 01:01:28.030
Good question, Luke.
1455
01:01:28.030 --> 01:01:30.530
And then a second question from Susanmarie,
1456
01:01:30.530 --> 01:01:33.840
do students access group assignments via each course,
1457
01:01:33.840 --> 01:01:36.240
or via the groups in the green menu at the left?
1458
01:01:37.700 --> 01:01:41.410
Okay, so in terms of their capabilities to do so,
1459
01:01:41.410 --> 01:01:44.880
it's really gonna be up to the individual learner
1460
01:01:44.880 --> 01:01:47.840
and what their workflow preferences are.
1461
01:01:47.840 --> 01:01:52.480
So as an instructor, if I have the People area
1462
01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:54.750
available to my students in the course menu,
1463
01:01:54.750 --> 01:01:57.700
they would very easily just toggle back and forth,
1464
01:01:57.700 --> 01:01:59.440
potentially, in the People area
1465
01:01:59.440 --> 01:02:01.710
and access their groups that way.
1466
01:02:01.710 --> 01:02:05.130
Many learners just prefer to access their groups
1467
01:02:05.130 --> 01:02:09.390
from this Groups area, over on the global navigation menu.
1468
01:02:09.390 --> 01:02:12.760
In Canvas, you can have groups set up at the account level.
1469
01:02:12.760 --> 01:02:15.410
So these could be clubs and teams
1470
01:02:15.410 --> 01:02:16.680
that students are a part of.
1471
01:02:16.680 --> 01:02:18.330
They're gonna have a group space for that.
1472
01:02:18.330 --> 01:02:19.640
But they're also gonna have a group space
1473
01:02:19.640 --> 01:02:21.150
for all of their academic work.
1474
01:02:21.150 --> 01:02:24.310
And we keep it all housed, in terms of design also,
1475
01:02:24.310 --> 01:02:26.400
in one area too.
1476
01:02:26.400 --> 01:02:29.130
So within Canvas, what you may notice,
1477
01:02:29.130 --> 01:02:30.170
or what you will notice
1478
01:02:30.170 --> 01:02:32.490
is that there are a lot of workflows.
1479
01:02:32.490 --> 01:02:35.950
It's really gonna be dependent on you as the end user,
1480
01:02:35.950 --> 01:02:39.023
in terms of what workflow makes the most sense for you.
1481
01:02:40.206 --> 01:02:41.747
And the last question while we're on the topic,
1482
01:02:41.747 --> 01:02:43.720
if you make random groups in the system,
1483
01:02:43.720 --> 01:02:46.190
can you do students sorting into groups,
1484
01:02:46.190 --> 01:02:48.420
for instance, grouping people based on scores,
1485
01:02:48.420 --> 01:02:51.433
on an assignment, or import groups from a spreadsheet?
1486
01:02:53.460 --> 01:02:56.440
Yep, so you can import groups from a spreadsheet,
1487
01:02:56.440 --> 01:02:59.960
but currently right now you can't create groups
1488
01:02:59.960 --> 01:03:02.760
based on, let's say, how students have scored
1489
01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:04.253
on a particular assignment.
1490
01:03:05.300 --> 01:03:06.567
You could probably sort them in the spreadsheet
1491
01:03:06.567 --> 01:03:08.017
and then assign them as such.
1492
01:03:09.010 --> 01:03:11.330
You could do that, yeah.
1493
01:03:11.330 --> 01:03:12.860
Awesome, thank you, Amineh.
1494
01:03:12.860 --> 01:03:13.693
Okay, great.
1495
01:03:13.693 --> 01:03:16.460
And I know Dave, there were some questions regarding,
1496
01:03:16.460 --> 01:03:20.795
I believe more so peer assessment, is that correct?
1497
01:03:20.795 --> 01:03:25.795
I thought there was going one that way, but maybe not,
1498
01:03:27.830 --> 01:03:29.480
but we probably could go over it any way,
1499
01:03:29.480 --> 01:03:31.010
just to make sure that folks understand
1500
01:03:31.010 --> 01:03:33.437
that peers can actually assess each other
1501
01:03:35.015 --> 01:03:37.112
and do it anonymously.
1502
01:03:37.112 --> 01:03:39.507
Okay, so that was primarily the question.
1503
01:03:39.507 --> 01:03:40.595
I think, one was in the group,
1504
01:03:40.595 --> 01:03:43.590
and others grading each other within the group, yeah.
1505
01:03:43.590 --> 01:03:48.040
Yeah, so when it comes to peer-level assessment,
1506
01:03:48.040 --> 01:03:51.720
you are gonna be able to have peer-based assessment
1507
01:03:51.720 --> 01:03:56.210
on discussions and as well on any assignments that exist,
1508
01:03:56.210 --> 01:03:57.670
and so you're gonna be able
1509
01:03:57.670 --> 01:04:00.790
to either manually put students together
1510
01:04:00.790 --> 01:04:03.270
in terms of who is gonna be assessing who,
1511
01:04:03.270 --> 01:04:06.710
or you can allow the system to auto-generate it,
1512
01:04:06.710 --> 01:04:08.790
and those individuals will be able
1513
01:04:08.790 --> 01:04:10.710
to go and review one another.
1514
01:04:10.710 --> 01:04:14.828
Now, when it comes to individual self-assessment,
1515
01:04:14.828 --> 01:04:18.688
that is a function that I could see...
1516
01:04:18.688 --> 01:04:22.130
I mean, when it comes to individual self-assessment,
1517
01:04:22.130 --> 01:04:24.740
you might have an assessment area where a learner
1518
01:04:24.740 --> 01:04:28.460
is gonna be able to upload their own work,
1519
01:04:28.460 --> 01:04:31.530
and you're gonna allow them to have access to that.
1520
01:04:31.530 --> 01:04:33.150
I have to know a little bit more
1521
01:04:33.150 --> 01:04:38.031
about that particular academic process,
1522
01:04:38.031 --> 01:04:41.110
in terms of, if you want a student to upload a document
1523
01:04:41.110 --> 01:04:43.350
and then grade themselves.
1524
01:04:43.350 --> 01:04:45.983
I believe that's the process.
1525
01:04:49.250 --> 01:04:51.126
If somebody wants to speak to that, that would be-
1526
01:04:51.126 --> 01:04:55.123
I don't know if that was Luke's question.
1527
01:04:56.849 --> 01:04:58.563
It was earlier.
Yeah.
1528
01:04:59.830 --> 01:05:02.335
We'll just proceed with my question, shall we?
1529
01:05:02.335 --> 01:05:04.970
(laughs) Right.
1530
01:05:04.970 --> 01:05:06.190
Sorry, I was getting distracted
1531
01:05:06.190 --> 01:05:07.810
by the student clubs being able to mention
1532
01:05:07.810 --> 01:05:09.380
and create their own pages.
1533
01:05:09.380 --> 01:05:12.410
I hadn't known that was in the pipeline.
1534
01:05:12.410 --> 01:05:15.110
My group grading question was, what happens
1535
01:05:15.110 --> 01:05:18.830
if students submit an assignment for their group?
1536
01:05:18.830 --> 01:05:22.070
Like we have a lab group and we want the TA
1537
01:05:22.070 --> 01:05:24.210
to be able to grade that one assignment
1538
01:05:24.210 --> 01:05:26.300
for the three students in that lab group.
1539
01:05:26.300 --> 01:05:27.850
And then those comments in that grade
1540
01:05:27.850 --> 01:05:30.930
goes to everybody in their group.
1541
01:05:30.930 --> 01:05:32.830
And so not peer assessment,
1542
01:05:32.830 --> 01:05:35.840
but TAs grading group assignments.
1543
01:05:35.840 --> 01:05:37.110
Yeah, absolutely.
1544
01:05:37.110 --> 01:05:38.920
And I do have an example of that
1545
01:05:38.920 --> 01:05:41.690
when we get to assessment to showcase to you,
1546
01:05:41.690 --> 01:05:44.010
but what's gonna end up happening is,
1547
01:05:44.010 --> 01:05:47.600
that grade is going to be displayed
1548
01:05:47.600 --> 01:05:51.470
to all of those learners, as well as all of the feedback.
1549
01:05:51.470 --> 01:05:55.090
Now, what can happen within a group assignment
1550
01:05:55.090 --> 01:05:57.470
is that, maybe somebody complains
1551
01:05:57.470 --> 01:05:59.390
or somebody has done less work, you are gonna be able
1552
01:05:59.390 --> 01:06:00.830
to modify the grades,
1553
01:06:00.830 --> 01:06:03.080
based on the individual in the group as well.
1554
01:06:05.670 --> 01:06:09.610
Okay, we do need to get on to our next use case,
1555
01:06:09.610 --> 01:06:11.770
which is testing.
1556
01:06:11.770 --> 01:06:16.010
So we're looking at methods to dissuade
1557
01:06:16.010 --> 01:06:18.850
any level of academic dishonesty,
1558
01:06:18.850 --> 01:06:21.810
that's one part of the use case here,
1559
01:06:21.810 --> 01:06:26.810
as well as discuss just the automation of any of the quizzes
1560
01:06:27.300 --> 01:06:29.380
that would occur within Canvas.
1561
01:06:29.380 --> 01:06:30.670
So in order to do this,
1562
01:06:30.670 --> 01:06:34.430
I'm gonna launch into a quizzing space.
1563
01:06:34.430 --> 01:06:35.810
And what you're seeing here
1564
01:06:35.810 --> 01:06:39.110
in terms of the edit capabilities is,
1565
01:06:39.110 --> 01:06:40.550
this is all of the criteria
1566
01:06:40.550 --> 01:06:43.460
that I'm going to be able to input
1567
01:06:43.460 --> 01:06:47.830
in terms of the grades and how this is gonna be distributed,
1568
01:06:47.830 --> 01:06:49.640
as well as the due dates.
1569
01:06:49.640 --> 01:06:50.473
If you're using
1570
01:06:50.473 --> 01:06:53.550
something like a Respondus LockDown Browser,
1571
01:06:53.550 --> 01:06:56.400
this is something that you would be able to adhere
1572
01:06:56.400 --> 01:06:59.620
to the quizzes that do exist within Canvas.
1573
01:06:59.620 --> 01:07:03.480
Now, when it comes to other opportunities
1574
01:07:03.480 --> 01:07:07.330
for dissuading academic dishonesty,
1575
01:07:07.330 --> 01:07:09.820
certainly within a Quiz itself,
1576
01:07:09.820 --> 01:07:12.500
you have a lot of options at your disposal,
1577
01:07:12.500 --> 01:07:17.340
when it comes to randomization and shuffling questions.
1578
01:07:17.340 --> 01:07:19.800
Certainly as well, within Canvas,
1579
01:07:19.800 --> 01:07:22.070
we do have something called item banks.
1580
01:07:22.070 --> 01:07:23.870
An item bank could be akin to
1581
01:07:23.870 --> 01:07:26.020
what you think of as a question pool.
1582
01:07:26.020 --> 01:07:29.320
And so if you had a large grouping of questions,
1583
01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:30.530
and you wanted to make sure
1584
01:07:30.530 --> 01:07:32.780
that only a certain set of questions
1585
01:07:32.780 --> 01:07:35.174
was going down to different students
1586
01:07:35.174 --> 01:07:37.020
who are taking a particular test,
1587
01:07:37.020 --> 01:07:39.481
you want that level of randomization,
1588
01:07:39.481 --> 01:07:42.530
that is gonna be possible within Canvas as well.
1589
01:07:42.530 --> 01:07:44.760
So again, there are gonna be
1590
01:07:44.760 --> 01:07:47.110
a lot of opportunities for that.
1591
01:07:47.110 --> 01:07:51.320
In terms of restricting student results as well,
1592
01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:53.770
perhaps after a student completes a test,
1593
01:07:53.770 --> 01:07:57.160
you don't want them to know how they're scoring,
1594
01:07:57.160 --> 01:07:58.960
or perhaps you don't want them to see
1595
01:07:58.960 --> 01:08:01.410
what is correct or incorrect,
1596
01:08:01.410 --> 01:08:04.330
you are going to have a lot of capabilities
1597
01:08:04.330 --> 01:08:05.280
when it comes to this,
1598
01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:08.990
depending on what your preferences are going to be.
1599
01:08:08.990 --> 01:08:13.270
Now, more generally when it comes to tests
1600
01:08:13.270 --> 01:08:17.730
in terms of the automated feedback that can occur
1601
01:08:17.730 --> 01:08:21.030
within any test question in Canvas,
1602
01:08:21.030 --> 01:08:25.210
you can certainly set up your desired feedback level.
1603
01:08:25.210 --> 01:08:27.070
So I have the option here
1604
01:08:27.070 --> 01:08:29.420
to have correct response feedback,
1605
01:08:29.420 --> 01:08:32.820
incorrect response feedback, and then general feedback,
1606
01:08:32.820 --> 01:08:35.270
no matter how a student has scored.
1607
01:08:35.270 --> 01:08:37.560
And again, typically this is gonna be used
1608
01:08:37.560 --> 01:08:41.233
for those automated tests that are going to occur.
1609
01:08:44.890 --> 01:08:46.820
All right, now I am going
1610
01:08:46.820 --> 01:08:49.220
to move along a little bit forward
1611
01:08:49.220 --> 01:08:52.280
and look at all of the grading opportunities
1612
01:08:52.280 --> 01:08:54.700
that are going to occur.
1613
01:08:54.700 --> 01:08:59.700
So when it comes to more broadly grading within Canvas,
1614
01:09:00.270 --> 01:09:02.040
what you do need to know,
1615
01:09:02.040 --> 01:09:06.610
any time that you are creating an assessment,
1616
01:09:06.610 --> 01:09:11.130
a gradebook column is automatically going to be created
1617
01:09:11.130 --> 01:09:12.120
in the gradebook.
1618
01:09:12.120 --> 01:09:16.500
So it's going to represent that particular assignment.
1619
01:09:16.500 --> 01:09:17.840
Something to note, though,
1620
01:09:17.840 --> 01:09:20.130
in terms of grading more generally,
1621
01:09:20.130 --> 01:09:22.920
if you're used to using a weighted-total column,
1622
01:09:22.920 --> 01:09:26.350
in Canvas, there is no weighted-total column.
1623
01:09:26.350 --> 01:09:27.660
All of the weighting
1624
01:09:27.660 --> 01:09:31.070
that would occur on your different assessment categories,
1625
01:09:31.070 --> 01:09:32.600
if that's how you grade,
1626
01:09:32.600 --> 01:09:35.400
it's going to be on the Assignments page.
1627
01:09:35.400 --> 01:09:39.690
And so within this space here, you have this option
1628
01:09:39.690 --> 01:09:44.690
to assign weightings to the different categories
1629
01:09:44.770 --> 01:09:46.490
that you're going to have for assessment
1630
01:09:46.490 --> 01:09:50.550
that typically are attributed to your syllabus.
1631
01:09:50.550 --> 01:09:52.840
And so you're gonna have a lot of variety
1632
01:09:52.840 --> 01:09:54.320
when it comes to this.
1633
01:09:54.320 --> 01:09:58.450
Oftentimes, as a work around, and speaking to the use case,
1634
01:09:58.450 --> 01:10:01.450
I might have a separate category
1635
01:10:01.450 --> 01:10:03.720
that is going to be for extra credit,
1636
01:10:03.720 --> 01:10:06.140
and perhaps at the end of the term,
1637
01:10:06.140 --> 01:10:08.920
I might bump this up one or two percent,
1638
01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:11.580
so that my students, depending on the assessments
1639
01:10:11.580 --> 01:10:13.630
that I have within extra credit,
1640
01:10:13.630 --> 01:10:15.950
are going to be receiving extra credit.
1641
01:10:15.950 --> 01:10:17.790
That is just one work around
1642
01:10:17.790 --> 01:10:21.930
when it comes to distributing additional grades
1643
01:10:21.930 --> 01:10:23.820
to students that are outside
1644
01:10:23.820 --> 01:10:25.990
of what is in the syllabus domain
1645
01:10:25.990 --> 01:10:27.900
that you would have for them.
1646
01:10:27.900 --> 01:10:31.200
Now, a few other options, when it comes to
1647
01:10:31.200 --> 01:10:36.120
just general weighting of your categories or of your groups,
1648
01:10:36.120 --> 01:10:37.450
for your assessments,
1649
01:10:37.450 --> 01:10:39.870
you are going to be able to drop scores.
1650
01:10:39.870 --> 01:10:41.400
You can also drop high scores,
1651
01:10:41.400 --> 01:10:43.620
although I don't know anybody that would do that,
1652
01:10:43.620 --> 01:10:45.510
you know, it can happen,
1653
01:10:45.510 --> 01:10:47.980
but there are opportunities for you
1654
01:10:47.980 --> 01:10:50.800
to never drop certain assessments
1655
01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:53.450
that are grouped within this category here.
1656
01:10:53.450 --> 01:10:56.420
So perhaps there is going to be an assessment
1657
01:10:56.420 --> 01:10:58.990
that is aligned to the competency
1658
01:10:58.990 --> 01:11:01.020
that a student needs for accreditation.
1659
01:11:01.020 --> 01:11:03.220
That's certainly something that needs to be a part
1660
01:11:03.220 --> 01:11:05.930
of their final grade, you do not want to drop that.
1661
01:11:05.930 --> 01:11:08.070
You can ensure that that does not happen
1662
01:11:08.070 --> 01:11:09.713
within this space here.
1663
01:11:12.260 --> 01:11:13.500
Now I am going to a pause.
1664
01:11:13.500 --> 01:11:15.190
Dave, were there any questions in the chat
1665
01:11:15.190 --> 01:11:19.780
when it comes to, essentially, the setup of this space here.
1666
01:11:19.780 --> 01:11:22.350
Really, you would be typically following
1667
01:11:22.350 --> 01:11:23.990
what would be on your syllabus.
1668
01:11:23.990 --> 01:11:27.010
So if I have reflections within my class,
1669
01:11:27.010 --> 01:11:30.070
and reflections are worth 10% of the grade,
1670
01:11:30.070 --> 01:11:31.900
that I would create this.
1671
01:11:31.900 --> 01:11:33.900
And then at the bottom here,
1672
01:11:33.900 --> 01:11:36.310
as I'm building up those reflections,
1673
01:11:36.310 --> 01:11:38.440
I would just be aligning them to the category
1674
01:11:38.440 --> 01:11:41.947
so that it adequately is going to wait in the gradebook.
1675
01:11:44.120 --> 01:11:45.500
And what else do you need to know,
1676
01:11:45.500 --> 01:11:47.490
and I know this was another part of the use case,
1677
01:11:47.490 --> 01:11:52.450
you can hide the summation totals for your grades.
1678
01:11:52.450 --> 01:11:56.380
So that is done as a setting within your course,
1679
01:11:56.380 --> 01:11:59.800
and you're gonna be able to hide those final totals
1680
01:11:59.800 --> 01:12:02.780
and maybe release them at the very end of the term,
1681
01:12:02.780 --> 01:12:03.613
really, depending
1682
01:12:03.613 --> 01:12:06.113
on what your grading preferences are going to be.
1683
01:12:08.497 --> 01:12:11.930
Amineh, I didn't see anything specific in this realm.
1684
01:12:12.910 --> 01:12:15.729
Let me look, 'cause had seen questions on group,
1685
01:12:15.729 --> 01:12:17.130
on privacy, security.
1686
01:12:17.130 --> 01:12:18.970
I think Luke, I got through most of those,
1687
01:12:18.970 --> 01:12:21.201
but let me know if there's anything else.
1688
01:12:21.201 --> 01:12:25.370
Individual questions and assignments that are flagged...
1689
01:12:25.370 --> 01:12:29.660
Oh, can you have individual questions and assignments
1690
01:12:29.660 --> 01:12:30.910
that are flagged as extra credit,
1691
01:12:30.910 --> 01:12:32.790
for instance, a homework assignment with 10 questions,
1692
01:12:32.790 --> 01:12:35.000
and the 11th question, it's extra credit,
1693
01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:36.237
where the students see it as one assignment,
1694
01:12:36.237 --> 01:12:39.050
but get extra credit for the 11th question?
1695
01:12:39.050 --> 01:12:40.020
They get extra credit
1696
01:12:40.020 --> 01:12:42.540
for the 11th question within that.
1697
01:12:42.540 --> 01:12:44.510
I think I'm gonna have to visually see
1698
01:12:44.510 --> 01:12:46.150
what that synopsis is,
1699
01:12:46.150 --> 01:12:48.810
and then I'll be able to respond to that,
1700
01:12:48.810 --> 01:12:50.840
because there is a bit of a workaround
1701
01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:54.020
in terms of how I would do it in the system.
1702
01:12:54.020 --> 01:12:55.350
So I could hand-wave,
1703
01:12:55.350 --> 01:12:56.600
if that's what you mean by base visual,
1704
01:12:56.600 --> 01:12:58.100
like, I wanna give a homework assignment,
1705
01:12:58.100 --> 01:13:01.620
and they go through when they're doing their 11 questions,
1706
01:13:01.620 --> 01:13:02.520
and they get to the end.
1707
01:13:02.520 --> 01:13:05.320
And I say, "Hey, this is an extra credit question."
1708
01:13:05.320 --> 01:13:07.740
I want it to look like one assignment for them,
1709
01:13:07.740 --> 01:13:10.177
but then in the gradebook, I wanted to break out and say,
1710
01:13:10.177 --> 01:13:12.770
"These 10 questions are homework grade,
1711
01:13:12.770 --> 01:13:15.270
this one question goes to extra credit."
1712
01:13:15.270 --> 01:13:20.270
Okay, and you would be doing this not as an...
1713
01:13:20.820 --> 01:13:22.660
Would this be more of a quiz
1714
01:13:22.660 --> 01:13:24.220
that you would have for your students,
1715
01:13:24.220 --> 01:13:26.360
or is this more of an assignment that you have,
1716
01:13:26.360 --> 01:13:28.297
where that's in the instructions
1717
01:13:28.297 --> 01:13:30.986
they're just going through?
1718
01:13:30.986 --> 01:13:34.135
I would envision this probably as a lab assignment,
1719
01:13:34.135 --> 01:13:36.500
but I could see doing it as a quiz as well.
1720
01:13:36.500 --> 01:13:38.040
Okay, so within a quiz,
1721
01:13:38.040 --> 01:13:40.300
it's going to be very, very simple for you to do,
1722
01:13:40.300 --> 01:13:43.770
because in any quiz, you can add what we call fudge points.
1723
01:13:43.770 --> 01:13:47.060
So you could go to the final question
1724
01:13:47.060 --> 01:13:50.720
that might be your bonus, and you would be able
1725
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:53.240
to allot additional points for that student.
1726
01:13:53.240 --> 01:13:55.940
So a student could very well get 11 out of 10
1727
01:13:55.940 --> 01:13:57.970
on that particular assignment.
1728
01:13:57.970 --> 01:14:00.190
And you can also, within the Canvas gradebook,
1729
01:14:00.190 --> 01:14:05.190
make any modifications to the point value of an assignment.
1730
01:14:06.550 --> 01:14:09.420
So if I have everything out of 100,
1731
01:14:09.420 --> 01:14:11.930
and I wanna give my students 101, 102,
1732
01:14:11.930 --> 01:14:14.440
depending on what they're doing, I would be able to do so.
1733
01:14:14.440 --> 01:14:15.730
So we're gonna get into the gradebooks
1734
01:14:15.730 --> 01:14:19.760
that you can visualize that a little bit more.
1735
01:14:19.760 --> 01:14:21.962
But I do want to finalize
1736
01:14:21.962 --> 01:14:25.210
what we're talking about with the assignment piece,
1737
01:14:25.210 --> 01:14:26.373
just in lieu of time.
1738
01:14:28.230 --> 01:14:30.150
So just for the assignments,
1739
01:14:30.150 --> 01:14:33.680
when it comes to the latter half of the use case here,
1740
01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:37.440
what you can see is I have my assignment fully built out.
1741
01:14:37.440 --> 01:14:39.370
So I have a lot of layering
1742
01:14:39.370 --> 01:14:41.640
that is going to occur within this space here.
1743
01:14:41.640 --> 01:14:44.100
In addition, I have a rubric.
1744
01:14:44.100 --> 01:14:47.280
Something that you need to know about rubrics in Canvas,
1745
01:14:47.280 --> 01:14:49.670
is that a rubric can be created at the course level,
1746
01:14:49.670 --> 01:14:52.360
but it can also be created at the account level
1747
01:14:52.360 --> 01:14:53.620
or the department level,
1748
01:14:53.620 --> 01:14:57.430
so that rubrics can be inherited in your courses,
1749
01:14:57.430 --> 01:15:00.184
and you don't necessarily have to do any of the lifting,
1750
01:15:00.184 --> 01:15:03.173
or the work, when it comes to rubric creation.
1751
01:15:04.010 --> 01:15:07.270
When we're looking at an assignment more broadly,
1752
01:15:07.270 --> 01:15:09.770
you are going to be able, within this space here,
1753
01:15:09.770 --> 01:15:13.810
to state what your grading schema is going to be,
1754
01:15:13.810 --> 01:15:17.700
and you can have custom grading schemes within Canvas.
1755
01:15:17.700 --> 01:15:20.080
So sometimes this is going to be at the department level,
1756
01:15:20.080 --> 01:15:22.820
so in engineering at the past is 60%.
1757
01:15:22.820 --> 01:15:24.890
You're gonna want that automatically inherited
1758
01:15:24.890 --> 01:15:26.310
in all the engineering courses,
1759
01:15:26.310 --> 01:15:29.680
so you will be able to run that logic in Canvas.
1760
01:15:29.680 --> 01:15:31.990
But you might also have really creative grading schemas,
1761
01:15:31.990 --> 01:15:35.370
and you can implement all of that within this space here.
1762
01:15:35.370 --> 01:15:38.220
Now, when it comes to types of submissions,
1763
01:15:38.220 --> 01:15:39.950
perhaps you're doing something in class,
1764
01:15:39.950 --> 01:15:42.990
but you want that articulated in the gradebook,
1765
01:15:42.990 --> 01:15:45.870
you're gonna be able to select on paper assignment.
1766
01:15:45.870 --> 01:15:48.540
As well, if you're using something like a turnitin.com,
1767
01:15:48.540 --> 01:15:51.620
this is where you would be setting up that integration,
1768
01:15:51.620 --> 01:15:55.453
and just identifying that this is a turnitin.com assignment.
1769
01:15:56.410 --> 01:15:59.070
When it comes to restricting files,
1770
01:15:59.070 --> 01:16:02.140
and I know that there was a column in the use case for that,
1771
01:16:02.140 --> 01:16:05.700
you will be able to say, "If I don't want .rts
1772
01:16:05.700 --> 01:16:07.640
as a part of the assignment submission,
1773
01:16:07.640 --> 01:16:09.630
and maybe I don't want .pages files,
1774
01:16:09.630 --> 01:16:12.840
I'm gonna be able to list that out, so that my learners,
1775
01:16:12.840 --> 01:16:14.940
when they're uploading their submissions,
1776
01:16:14.940 --> 01:16:17.290
they're gonna get a big message that says, "You know what?
1777
01:16:17.290 --> 01:16:19.660
This is not an acceptable file type,
1778
01:16:19.660 --> 01:16:22.250
these are the acceptable file types for the course,
1779
01:16:22.250 --> 01:16:23.500
please upload that.
1780
01:16:23.500 --> 01:16:26.880
So they're going to know, automatically, to resubmit,
1781
01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:28.850
which is really helpful.
1782
01:16:28.850 --> 01:16:32.110
In terms of group assignments, again, this is the area
1783
01:16:32.110 --> 01:16:35.880
where you would just plug and play all of that logic here,
1784
01:16:35.880 --> 01:16:38.060
any element for differentiation,
1785
01:16:38.060 --> 01:16:41.060
when it comes to different students needing
1786
01:16:41.060 --> 01:16:43.830
a due date that varies from the rest of the class,
1787
01:16:43.830 --> 01:16:45.670
or if you're teaching in sections,
1788
01:16:45.670 --> 01:16:48.860
this is where all of the logic would be implemented here.
1789
01:16:48.860 --> 01:16:52.020
So in Canvas, there's no release criteria,
1790
01:16:52.020 --> 01:16:53.570
there's no adaptive release rules,
1791
01:16:53.570 --> 01:16:55.540
everything is very, very simplified
1792
01:16:55.540 --> 01:16:57.233
within this interface here.
1793
01:16:58.554 --> 01:17:00.840
Coming to the point
1794
01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:04.260
where you want to grade all of your assessments,
1795
01:17:04.260 --> 01:17:06.160
you were gonna be using something that we have
1796
01:17:06.160 --> 01:17:08.290
called the Canvas Speed Grader.
1797
01:17:08.290 --> 01:17:10.870
And essentially what the speed grader is,
1798
01:17:10.870 --> 01:17:15.190
is an online annotation tool where you provide context
1799
01:17:15.190 --> 01:17:19.080
over the content that is going to exist in this space here.
1800
01:17:19.080 --> 01:17:21.340
So a little bit of a breakdown of this.
1801
01:17:21.340 --> 01:17:25.100
What we have is my student's submission in this space.
1802
01:17:25.100 --> 01:17:28.960
I have access to a whole lot of annotation tools,
1803
01:17:28.960 --> 01:17:32.500
within here, and I'm gonna be able to very easily annotate
1804
01:17:32.500 --> 01:17:34.440
this student's assignment.
1805
01:17:34.440 --> 01:17:38.720
If I am using the Teacher App on my phone or on a tablet,
1806
01:17:38.720 --> 01:17:41.940
you know, it almost feels like pen to paper,
1807
01:17:41.940 --> 01:17:45.310
I could take my stylist and mark up a student assignment
1808
01:17:45.310 --> 01:17:48.040
very, very easily in near.
1809
01:17:48.040 --> 01:17:50.560
So I brought my inline content
1810
01:17:50.560 --> 01:17:53.060
right on top of the student assignment,
1811
01:17:53.060 --> 01:17:56.070
then I may also be leveraging a rubric to grade.
1812
01:17:56.070 --> 01:17:58.390
You know, it's not necessary to have a rubric,
1813
01:17:58.390 --> 01:18:01.240
but if you are using a rubric, all that you have to do
1814
01:18:01.240 --> 01:18:03.160
is tap along the rubric
1815
01:18:03.160 --> 01:18:07.630
in order to assign additional rubric criteria and grades.
1816
01:18:07.630 --> 01:18:09.220
And what's gonna end up happening
1817
01:18:09.220 --> 01:18:10.530
at the bottom of this assignment
1818
01:18:10.530 --> 01:18:13.170
is all of this is going to auto-populate
1819
01:18:13.170 --> 01:18:15.068
into this (indistinct).
1820
01:18:15.068 --> 01:18:16.770
What you should take note of
1821
01:18:16.770 --> 01:18:21.270
is that you can have additional criterion commentary
1822
01:18:21.270 --> 01:18:22.660
within the rubric itself.
1823
01:18:22.660 --> 01:18:24.720
So students are not only going to get comments
1824
01:18:24.720 --> 01:18:27.500
from you inline, but they're also going to get commentary
1825
01:18:27.500 --> 01:18:29.170
on the rubric as well.
1826
01:18:29.170 --> 01:18:31.350
And then to wrap this all up
1827
01:18:31.350 --> 01:18:34.450
in terms of holistic feedback and authentic feedback,
1828
01:18:34.450 --> 01:18:36.590
which is really what a lot of students want,
1829
01:18:36.590 --> 01:18:41.180
is a hallmark component of personalized learning as well,
1830
01:18:41.180 --> 01:18:44.410
what we have here is a comment library.
1831
01:18:44.410 --> 01:18:47.250
So let's say you're grading 100 assignments,
1832
01:18:47.250 --> 01:18:49.290
and you might have some duplications
1833
01:18:49.290 --> 01:18:51.750
in terms of the comments that you're giving,
1834
01:18:51.750 --> 01:18:55.010
you would be able to create your own comment library,
1835
01:18:55.010 --> 01:18:58.330
so you have to spend some time, put on some Netflix
1836
01:18:58.330 --> 01:19:00.990
and add all your comments to this library,
1837
01:19:00.990 --> 01:19:02.670
but then you're gonna be able to use them
1838
01:19:02.670 --> 01:19:05.070
for all of the courses that you're teaching here.
1839
01:19:05.070 --> 01:19:08.410
So it's very simple to do, I'd be able to take my comment,
1840
01:19:08.410 --> 01:19:11.090
it would auto-populate within this space,
1841
01:19:11.090 --> 01:19:14.370
and my student is going to have some additional feedback,
1842
01:19:14.370 --> 01:19:17.910
maybe you're gonna customize it a little bit for them here.
1843
01:19:17.910 --> 01:19:19.581
Now, when it comes to
1844
01:19:19.581 --> 01:19:23.010
feedback that's a little bit more multimedia oriented,
1845
01:19:23.010 --> 01:19:26.250
we will have access to the webcam recorder.
1846
01:19:26.250 --> 01:19:28.710
So you are going to be able to record yourself
1847
01:19:28.710 --> 01:19:29.673
if you want to,
1848
01:19:29.673 --> 01:19:31.810
I think I have to change a permission on my computer
1849
01:19:31.810 --> 01:19:33.920
so that my webcam works,
1850
01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:38.190
but you can have that visual feedback for your learners.
1851
01:19:38.190 --> 01:19:40.674
As well, let's say you were tired
1852
01:19:40.674 --> 01:19:44.360
of writing all day and typing, we do have Speech To Text
1853
01:19:44.360 --> 01:19:46.223
that's built into the system here.
1854
01:19:47.250 --> 01:19:50.523
Now, after you submit all of this work,
1855
01:19:50.523 --> 01:19:52.800
what do your students get?
1856
01:19:52.800 --> 01:19:53.890
What do they receive?
1857
01:19:53.890 --> 01:19:57.180
Well, this area here can also be used
1858
01:19:57.180 --> 01:20:00.300
as a back-and-forth feedback space.
1859
01:20:00.300 --> 01:20:01.990
And I know that there was a call out
1860
01:20:01.990 --> 01:20:04.700
for those group-level assignments,
1861
01:20:04.700 --> 01:20:06.560
those lab groups that you might have.
1862
01:20:06.560 --> 01:20:09.940
So what you see here is a distribution of all of my students
1863
01:20:09.940 --> 01:20:11.740
within their lab groups.
1864
01:20:11.740 --> 01:20:14.840
So this is how I would be distributing the grades to them.
1865
01:20:14.840 --> 01:20:17.560
But let's say I had this inline feedback
1866
01:20:17.560 --> 01:20:22.560
to my learners here, in terms of this being a lab group,
1867
01:20:22.610 --> 01:20:25.480
I might have students come in and ask me questions
1868
01:20:25.480 --> 01:20:27.050
about why they received the grade,
1869
01:20:27.050 --> 01:20:29.100
or maybe they wanted more information.
1870
01:20:29.100 --> 01:20:32.900
They can directly reply in-line to me on this feedback.
1871
01:20:32.900 --> 01:20:37.650
So I'm gonna know exactly what it is that they are asking.
1872
01:20:37.650 --> 01:20:41.280
In addition to this, your learners will have access
1873
01:20:41.280 --> 01:20:43.580
to general holistic feedback
1874
01:20:43.580 --> 01:20:45.470
that they're going to be giving to you.
1875
01:20:45.470 --> 01:20:47.330
So this is just gonna be a back and forth
1876
01:20:47.330 --> 01:20:50.360
that takes place within this assignment area.
1877
01:20:50.360 --> 01:20:51.850
And what I like about this is,
1878
01:20:51.850 --> 01:20:54.600
my learners can also record video
1879
01:20:54.600 --> 01:20:56.560
and send that to me as well.
1880
01:20:56.560 --> 01:21:00.610
So you're gonna have a lot of opportunity within this space.
1881
01:21:00.610 --> 01:21:03.870
I often use this as my asynchronous office hour,
1882
01:21:03.870 --> 01:21:05.880
because that's really how it functions,
1883
01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:07.570
the back and forth is here.
1884
01:21:07.570 --> 01:21:10.270
And then if you ever need a record of keeping
1885
01:21:10.270 --> 01:21:12.510
for the information that's taking place,
1886
01:21:12.510 --> 01:21:16.330
you can download a lot of this feedback in a PDF file,
1887
01:21:16.330 --> 01:21:17.680
so you'll always have that.
1888
01:21:20.200 --> 01:21:25.200
Now, let us go over into the gradebook very briefly,
1889
01:21:25.440 --> 01:21:27.370
so that you can really see
1890
01:21:27.370 --> 01:21:30.710
what the gradebook is going to represent,
1891
01:21:30.710 --> 01:21:31.620
what it's gonna be like,
1892
01:21:31.620 --> 01:21:33.490
where my Learning Mastery Grade Book,
1893
01:21:33.490 --> 01:21:37.150
which calculates competency, but we're focused in
1894
01:21:37.150 --> 01:21:39.420
on this other gradebook here.
1895
01:21:39.420 --> 01:21:41.160
So as I mentioned a little bit earlier,
1896
01:21:41.160 --> 01:21:43.500
on every assessment that you create
1897
01:21:43.500 --> 01:21:46.070
will automatically generate a gradebook column.
1898
01:21:46.070 --> 01:21:49.286
You're going to see a variety of grading schemes here.
1899
01:21:49.286 --> 01:21:51.190
Some of them can be really fun,
1900
01:21:51.190 --> 01:21:52.550
but it might not suit your discipline,
1901
01:21:52.550 --> 01:21:54.290
so you don't have to do that,
1902
01:21:54.290 --> 01:21:57.260
I'm going to be able, from this space, very easily,
1903
01:21:57.260 --> 01:22:02.260
to bulk-download any of my particular assignments as well.
1904
01:22:02.260 --> 01:22:04.550
So I can download all of the submissions.
1905
01:22:04.550 --> 01:22:07.570
Let's say, I want to grade them,
1906
01:22:07.570 --> 01:22:09.580
maybe, do track changes in Microsoft Word,
1907
01:22:09.580 --> 01:22:12.260
and then re-upload them, you are going to be able
1908
01:22:12.260 --> 01:22:14.590
to do that within this space here.
1909
01:22:14.590 --> 01:22:16.490
All of the columns that you're seeing
1910
01:22:16.490 --> 01:22:19.960
are going to be actionable as well, so I can click
1911
01:22:19.960 --> 01:22:22.480
and also input the grades
1912
01:22:22.480 --> 01:22:24.630
if that's how I wanna go about this,
1913
01:22:24.630 --> 01:22:25.940
but you're also going to see here,
1914
01:22:25.940 --> 01:22:27.960
this is just a incomplete assignment,
1915
01:22:27.960 --> 01:22:29.810
but I can excuse grades.
1916
01:22:29.810 --> 01:22:33.220
So sometimes if students require some accommodations,
1917
01:22:33.220 --> 01:22:35.250
or they've been ill throughout the semester,
1918
01:22:35.250 --> 01:22:37.950
and you've created makeup assignments for them,
1919
01:22:37.950 --> 01:22:39.370
what you would probably be doing is,
1920
01:22:39.370 --> 01:22:40.990
on the assignments that they've missed,
1921
01:22:40.990 --> 01:22:43.330
you'll just be excusing them on those assignments
1922
01:22:43.330 --> 01:22:45.310
and then adding in the additional assignments
1923
01:22:45.310 --> 01:22:46.290
that they need to do.
1924
01:22:46.290 --> 01:22:48.690
So that's typically how it would work.
1925
01:22:48.690 --> 01:22:51.820
And again, what you can do when you're grading
1926
01:22:51.820 --> 01:22:53.990
is you can hide the assignments from students
1927
01:22:53.990 --> 01:22:56.500
until you're finished grading everything,
1928
01:22:56.500 --> 01:23:00.910
so that everybody gets all of that information at one time.
1929
01:23:00.910 --> 01:23:04.740
The gradebook itself can be very easily exported out
1930
01:23:04.740 --> 01:23:06.370
in the CSV format.
1931
01:23:06.370 --> 01:23:08.720
And you can also take your current gradebook
1932
01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:11.830
if it does exist in the CSV file,
1933
01:23:11.830 --> 01:23:14.510
you would be able to import it into Canvas,
1934
01:23:14.510 --> 01:23:15.560
so long as you're following
1935
01:23:15.560 --> 01:23:18.350
some of the framework and guidelines that we have.
1936
01:23:18.350 --> 01:23:21.530
And when you do that, Canvas will ask you
1937
01:23:21.530 --> 01:23:24.950
if you want any of the important information
1938
01:23:24.950 --> 01:23:27.030
to be created in an assignment.
1939
01:23:27.030 --> 01:23:30.320
So it's automatically gonna recognize that for you.
1940
01:23:30.320 --> 01:23:31.760
And this is gonna be really important
1941
01:23:31.760 --> 01:23:34.830
for faculty that maybe aren't using a learning platform,
1942
01:23:34.830 --> 01:23:37.890
maybe, are doing still all of their work in Excel,
1943
01:23:37.890 --> 01:23:40.360
that might be helpful for you.
1944
01:23:40.360 --> 01:23:42.490
What you're seeing in terms of all the color
1945
01:23:42.490 --> 01:23:44.340
is just a grading status,
1946
01:23:44.340 --> 01:23:46.740
and so I tend to heat map a lot of my courses
1947
01:23:46.740 --> 01:23:49.500
that are more than 50 students, and this just allows me
1948
01:23:49.500 --> 01:23:51.630
to have a general health check of the course
1949
01:23:51.630 --> 01:23:54.260
whenever I first go into the gradebook.
1950
01:23:54.260 --> 01:23:55.900
But what I like about Canvas so much
1951
01:23:55.900 --> 01:23:58.550
is that I don't spend a ton of time in the gradebook,
1952
01:23:58.550 --> 01:24:00.670
I tend to utilize something that we have
1953
01:24:00.670 --> 01:24:05.480
called New Analytics, to help keep track of my students.
1954
01:24:05.480 --> 01:24:08.910
So I'm gonna go over into the analytics space very soon,
1955
01:24:08.910 --> 01:24:10.587
but what you just need to know from the gradebook
1956
01:24:10.587 --> 01:24:13.010
more broadly, is that I have access
1957
01:24:13.010 --> 01:24:14.750
to a student-contacts card.
1958
01:24:14.750 --> 01:24:18.010
So at a very high level, I'm gonna be able to see
1959
01:24:18.010 --> 01:24:21.540
what the progress has been like, of a particular learner,
1960
01:24:21.540 --> 01:24:23.320
I'm gonna know their average grade,
1961
01:24:23.320 --> 01:24:26.190
as well as a measurement of the participation
1962
01:24:26.190 --> 01:24:29.570
or the page views, so the clickstream data
1963
01:24:29.570 --> 01:24:32.230
that's taking place within the course itself.
1964
01:24:32.230 --> 01:24:34.680
And if I was concerned at all about this student,
1965
01:24:34.680 --> 01:24:36.410
I would be able to message them.
1966
01:24:36.410 --> 01:24:38.990
And so they could get a push notification to their phone,
1967
01:24:38.990 --> 01:24:42.133
or they would get an email from me very quickly.
1968
01:24:43.090 --> 01:24:46.980
And as I said, I prefer to use our analytics dashboard
1969
01:24:46.980 --> 01:24:49.040
more than the gradebook itself,
1970
01:24:49.040 --> 01:24:52.040
when it comes to intervention for my students.
1971
01:24:52.040 --> 01:24:54.740
Now, what you're seeing here is our dashboard.
1972
01:24:54.740 --> 01:24:57.400
So every instructor is going to have access to this.
1973
01:24:57.400 --> 01:24:59.980
And your students are also going to have access
1974
01:24:59.980 --> 01:25:02.510
to their own personal analytics dashboards.
1975
01:25:02.510 --> 01:25:05.560
And that really just helps them with accountability
1976
01:25:05.560 --> 01:25:08.360
in terms of how they are progressing throughout a course.
1977
01:25:08.360 --> 01:25:11.520
So the general breakdown of this is we can see,
1978
01:25:11.520 --> 01:25:13.720
at a high level, all of the course grades.
1979
01:25:13.720 --> 01:25:15.040
So these are the assessments,
1980
01:25:15.040 --> 01:25:17.060
this is what it's representing.
1981
01:25:17.060 --> 01:25:20.260
In the scatter plot below, every single plot point
1982
01:25:20.260 --> 01:25:23.190
is representative of an assessment.
1983
01:25:23.190 --> 01:25:26.350
And so what I'm gonna be able to do very simply
1984
01:25:26.350 --> 01:25:29.590
is click onto a particular data point,
1985
01:25:29.590 --> 01:25:32.620
and I'm gonna be able to see what the average grade is,
1986
01:25:32.620 --> 01:25:33.690
low and high and median,
1987
01:25:33.690 --> 01:25:36.760
as well as if there any assessments that are missing,
1988
01:25:36.760 --> 01:25:38.900
or if there's anything that is late.
1989
01:25:38.900 --> 01:25:40.500
If I'm at all concerned
1990
01:25:40.500 --> 01:25:43.250
about the information that I'm seeing here,
1991
01:25:43.250 --> 01:25:46.450
I'm going to be able to message those students.
1992
01:25:46.450 --> 01:25:47.710
And what's great about this
1993
01:25:47.710 --> 01:25:49.560
is that there's zero setup for you.
1994
01:25:49.560 --> 01:25:51.630
All you have to do is click the filters
1995
01:25:51.630 --> 01:25:53.630
that are most relevant for you.
1996
01:25:53.630 --> 01:25:55.770
And let's say I'm messaging these students
1997
01:25:55.770 --> 01:25:58.370
because they don't have this assignment,
1998
01:25:58.370 --> 01:26:01.670
and this assignment is really key for graduation,
1999
01:26:01.670 --> 01:26:06.670
maybe one student has an excuse, and that's completely okay,
2000
01:26:07.670 --> 01:26:09.650
so they're gonna hand something in later,
2001
01:26:09.650 --> 01:26:12.790
I can dismiss them, everyone's gonna be blind copied,
2002
01:26:12.790 --> 01:26:14.150
and essentially what I can do,
2003
01:26:14.150 --> 01:26:18.167
is craft a very personal message to the students.
2004
01:26:18.167 --> 01:26:19.970
And what we know from our research
2005
01:26:19.970 --> 01:26:21.560
is that students tend to dismiss
2006
01:26:21.560 --> 01:26:23.930
a lot of automatic notifications
2007
01:26:23.930 --> 01:26:25.430
that are being sent to them.
2008
01:26:25.430 --> 01:26:26.770
But when they receive something
2009
01:26:26.770 --> 01:26:29.670
that is very much in the tone of their instructor,
2010
01:26:29.670 --> 01:26:33.750
there's a higher likelihood that they are going to open it
2011
01:26:33.750 --> 01:26:35.440
because it shows that somebody
2012
01:26:35.440 --> 01:26:38.470
has authentically taken care of them, more so
2013
01:26:38.470 --> 01:26:41.620
than just a system automatically generating a message.
2014
01:26:41.620 --> 01:26:43.610
So that's really something to consider.
2015
01:26:43.610 --> 01:26:45.780
And what I like about this just personally,
2016
01:26:45.780 --> 01:26:48.640
is that I can also message students that score
2017
01:26:48.640 --> 01:26:50.840
between a certain range.
2018
01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:53.610
And so oftentimes students might be falling behind
2019
01:26:53.610 --> 01:26:55.120
within certain ranges,
2020
01:26:55.120 --> 01:26:57.733
I can automatically intervene with them here.
2021
01:26:58.830 --> 01:26:59.813
Hey, Amineh, real quick,
2022
01:26:59.813 --> 01:27:02.760
I wanna just add a little bit of color to this,
2023
01:27:02.760 --> 01:27:05.760
that the ability to do this, and Amineh had mentioned it,
2024
01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:08.240
it's that human authentic interaction,
2025
01:27:08.240 --> 01:27:09.807
and not the automated agent.
2026
01:27:09.807 --> 01:27:10.970
You know, a lot of times
2027
01:27:10.970 --> 01:27:13.130
you get these push notifications on our phones,
2028
01:27:13.130 --> 01:27:13.963
I don't know about you,
2029
01:27:13.963 --> 01:27:15.290
but a lot of times I'm like, yeah, it's nice,
2030
01:27:15.290 --> 01:27:16.700
but I get rid of it.
2031
01:27:16.700 --> 01:27:18.470
Some of that stuff could actually be really important.
2032
01:27:18.470 --> 01:27:19.970
If someone actually called it out,
2033
01:27:19.970 --> 01:27:21.570
I know I would step up on that.
2034
01:27:21.570 --> 01:27:25.120
But what was really great is that my first instructor con,
2035
01:27:25.120 --> 01:27:26.650
the one we did a long beach a couple of years ago,
2036
01:27:26.650 --> 01:27:27.760
I overheard a conversation
2037
01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:29.680
from a faculty member from the South,
2038
01:27:29.680 --> 01:27:33.298
and she said, this function within the gradebook,
2039
01:27:33.298 --> 01:27:35.730
she had so many comments from her students in class
2040
01:27:35.730 --> 01:27:37.100
that said, "Hey, thank you so much,
2041
01:27:37.100 --> 01:27:38.940
you kept me going, you kept the curves up,
2042
01:27:38.940 --> 01:27:40.630
you made sure I was successful,
2043
01:27:40.630 --> 01:27:42.280
you followed up with me," all of that.
2044
01:27:42.280 --> 01:27:43.790
They thought that was really important.
2045
01:27:43.790 --> 01:27:47.670
They had no idea that the faculty all did send a message
2046
01:27:47.670 --> 01:27:49.320
to student who graded below whatever,
2047
01:27:49.320 --> 01:27:50.430
or between this, or whatever.
2048
01:27:50.430 --> 01:27:52.590
and that opened the door to those office hours
2049
01:27:52.590 --> 01:27:53.440
and those sorts of things.
2050
01:27:53.440 --> 01:27:55.420
And that's a very simple function.
2051
01:27:55.420 --> 01:27:56.950
With authentic human feedback,
2052
01:27:56.950 --> 01:27:58.870
they actually used automation.
2053
01:27:58.870 --> 01:28:00.320
That's baked right within Canvas
2054
01:28:00.320 --> 01:28:01.670
and easy to use right out the gate.
2055
01:28:01.670 --> 01:28:04.610
There's no setup in these automated agents, by the way.
2056
01:28:04.610 --> 01:28:06.500
If you stumble upon them or find them,
2057
01:28:06.500 --> 01:28:08.570
they actually take time to set up.
2058
01:28:08.570 --> 01:28:10.630
So that's another element that...
2059
01:28:10.630 --> 01:28:12.110
That may not be something that's ready,
2060
01:28:12.110 --> 01:28:14.170
but if you want something out of the gate that is authentic,
2061
01:28:14.170 --> 01:28:15.950
this would be the way to do it.
2062
01:28:15.950 --> 01:28:18.890
Right, and as you could probably see,
2063
01:28:18.890 --> 01:28:20.230
as I was clicking around,
2064
01:28:20.230 --> 01:28:23.230
there is a measurement of clickstream data
2065
01:28:23.230 --> 01:28:25.427
that is occurring within the course.
2066
01:28:25.427 --> 01:28:27.390
And that's just going to help you know
2067
01:28:27.390 --> 01:28:30.470
what the ethicacy of some course content is going to be.
2068
01:28:30.470 --> 01:28:31.350
So if certain students
2069
01:28:31.350 --> 01:28:33.390
are spending a whole lot of time in one area,
2070
01:28:33.390 --> 01:28:36.700
but no time in another, you might say, "Okay, why is this?
2071
01:28:36.700 --> 01:28:38.523
Is it the course content, is it the students?"
2072
01:28:38.523 --> 01:28:41.680
And you're gonna be able to derive a conclusion
2073
01:28:41.680 --> 01:28:43.640
from that potentially.
2074
01:28:43.640 --> 01:28:45.900
But just as you could with the course grades,
2075
01:28:45.900 --> 01:28:47.250
you can message students
2076
01:28:47.250 --> 01:28:50.290
based on their interaction with content.
2077
01:28:50.290 --> 01:28:53.020
So if somebody, or if a group of students
2078
01:28:53.020 --> 01:28:56.220
is not viewing a particular assignment
2079
01:28:56.220 --> 01:28:58.980
that is gonna be really important for them to complete,
2080
01:28:58.980 --> 01:29:01.510
you are gonna be able to filter that right away
2081
01:29:01.510 --> 01:29:03.400
and enaction that.
2082
01:29:03.400 --> 01:29:07.300
The same is going to be true with levels of participation.
2083
01:29:07.300 --> 01:29:09.510
So you could message the students that are,
2084
01:29:09.510 --> 01:29:12.070
or are not participating very, very easily
2085
01:29:12.070 --> 01:29:13.150
within your course.
2086
01:29:13.150 --> 01:29:15.510
And participation is derived from
2087
01:29:15.510 --> 01:29:17.960
discussion board attributes
2088
01:29:17.960 --> 01:29:19.430
or any other areas in the course
2089
01:29:19.430 --> 01:29:21.140
where there is gonna be some level
2090
01:29:21.140 --> 01:29:24.040
of collaboration and interaction.
2091
01:29:24.040 --> 01:29:27.077
Now, what I also wanna focus in on,
2092
01:29:27.077 --> 01:29:29.430
and this is something that a lot of faculty asked for
2093
01:29:29.430 --> 01:29:32.221
is, when did the student last log in?
2094
01:29:32.221 --> 01:29:34.100
What are they looking at?
2095
01:29:34.100 --> 01:29:37.230
So you are gonna be able to see, at a very high level,
2096
01:29:37.230 --> 01:29:39.250
all of that information here.
2097
01:29:39.250 --> 01:29:41.030
Again, there's no setup at all,
2098
01:29:41.030 --> 01:29:44.360
this is just gonna automatically be filtered for you.
2099
01:29:44.360 --> 01:29:47.530
And if you wish you can click on an individual student
2100
01:29:47.530 --> 01:29:50.380
and see what their progress has been like
2101
01:29:50.380 --> 01:29:51.280
within the course.
2102
01:29:51.280 --> 01:29:53.960
If a student is dropping off for whatever reason,
2103
01:29:53.960 --> 01:29:58.780
you're also gonna be able to see that very, very closely.
2104
01:29:58.780 --> 01:30:01.480
And something else that is going to be helpful,
2105
01:30:01.480 --> 01:30:03.770
is, if there is any level of communication
2106
01:30:03.770 --> 01:30:05.800
taking place back and forth,
2107
01:30:05.800 --> 01:30:08.070
that would be articulated in a bar graph.
2108
01:30:08.070 --> 01:30:09.470
So if there's no communication
2109
01:30:09.470 --> 01:30:11.470
and the student is falling behind,
2110
01:30:11.470 --> 01:30:14.703
then it's gonna be an area of concern for you.
2111
01:30:15.600 --> 01:30:18.250
When it comes to general reports,
2112
01:30:18.250 --> 01:30:21.700
all of this can be taken out in a CSV flat file.
2113
01:30:21.700 --> 01:30:24.900
And we have some pre-created reports from research
2114
01:30:24.900 --> 01:30:27.180
that we found that faculty were asking for.
2115
01:30:27.180 --> 01:30:30.200
So something as simple as printing off a roster
2116
01:30:30.200 --> 01:30:32.760
was required in class attendance,
2117
01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:34.730
and other attributes are gonna be key.
2118
01:30:34.730 --> 01:30:38.810
So looking at course activity for a particular student,
2119
01:30:38.810 --> 01:30:42.270
maybe somebody is contesting a grade, and you want to run
2120
01:30:42.270 --> 01:30:43.920
all of their interactions
2121
01:30:43.920 --> 01:30:45.710
that have taken place within the class,
2122
01:30:45.710 --> 01:30:49.120
you are gonna be able to do that very easily.
2123
01:30:49.120 --> 01:30:53.290
And one brand new attribute that we do have within here
2124
01:30:53.290 --> 01:30:56.270
is something that we have called Online Attendance.
2125
01:30:56.270 --> 01:30:59.930
And as an institution, you would be setting up
2126
01:30:59.930 --> 01:31:03.720
what you believe to be attendance online.
2127
01:31:03.720 --> 01:31:05.200
So we know that it's gonna be different
2128
01:31:05.200 --> 01:31:07.047
for every single school,
2129
01:31:08.400 --> 01:31:10.060
so you're gonna be able to decide on,
2130
01:31:10.060 --> 01:31:11.750
if a student is clicking into these areas,
2131
01:31:11.750 --> 01:31:13.410
or if they're participating,
2132
01:31:13.410 --> 01:31:15.080
or if they're submitting their assignments,
2133
01:31:15.080 --> 01:31:18.100
that might be online attendance.
2134
01:31:18.100 --> 01:31:20.400
The reason why we have this attribute
2135
01:31:20.400 --> 01:31:22.100
is that it was a feature idea
2136
01:31:22.100 --> 01:31:25.080
that was requested from many, many faculty,
2137
01:31:25.080 --> 01:31:28.053
so we finally put it into production here.
2138
01:31:30.200 --> 01:31:32.818
Well, I am going to take a pause.
2139
01:31:32.818 --> 01:31:36.588
Dave, if you would like to cover
2140
01:31:36.588 --> 01:31:41.220
anything that comes to migration,
2141
01:31:41.220 --> 01:31:44.930
what it's gonna be like to be a Canvas client?
2142
01:31:44.930 --> 01:31:46.220
Certainly, and then while I'm doing that,
2143
01:31:46.220 --> 01:31:48.930
if you wouldn't mind grabbing the chat for a second,
2144
01:31:48.930 --> 01:31:51.080
there's some of those feature questions
2145
01:31:51.080 --> 01:31:52.700
that you've just covered, that I think would be really great
2146
01:31:52.700 --> 01:31:53.750
for everyone to know.
2147
01:31:57.160 --> 01:32:00.603
Go ahead and share. Can you see my screen okay?
2148
01:32:02.110 --> 01:32:03.800
Yeah.
wonderful.
2149
01:32:03.800 --> 01:32:06.280
So as faculty, as administrators,
2150
01:32:06.280 --> 01:32:07.800
as everyone at the university,
2151
01:32:07.800 --> 01:32:11.380
it's a pretty big decision you're about to make.
2152
01:32:11.380 --> 01:32:13.140
And there's a lot of things at stake here.
2153
01:32:13.140 --> 01:32:15.670
It's, okay, we're going to go to another LMS,
2154
01:32:15.670 --> 01:32:17.360
that means there's a lot of movement.
2155
01:32:17.360 --> 01:32:18.870
So we envision this a couple of ways.
2156
01:32:18.870 --> 01:32:20.360
When you think about moving out of a home
2157
01:32:20.360 --> 01:32:23.060
and moving into another home or apartment,
2158
01:32:23.060 --> 01:32:26.560
you could box it all up and unbox it, most of it,
2159
01:32:26.560 --> 01:32:29.080
or you could back up the dumpster,
2160
01:32:29.080 --> 01:32:31.740
and start moving some stuff out and really condensing it
2161
01:32:31.740 --> 01:32:33.760
and taking the most valuable things with you.
2162
01:32:33.760 --> 01:32:36.180
And that's an essence, what a migration is.
2163
01:32:36.180 --> 01:32:38.630
The greatest functionality that we would love to have
2164
01:32:38.630 --> 01:32:41.060
that we know exists in that home,
2165
01:32:41.060 --> 01:32:42.500
but there are some other elements
2166
01:32:42.500 --> 01:32:44.450
that we may just wanna start all over again.
2167
01:32:44.450 --> 01:32:47.880
And so that's how we view the migration process.
2168
01:32:47.880 --> 01:32:48.860
So first thing we're gonna do
2169
01:32:48.860 --> 01:32:50.800
in terms of implementation and support is,
2170
01:32:50.800 --> 01:32:52.490
I wanna go over support.
2171
01:32:52.490 --> 01:32:54.040
Now, for those who were
2172
01:32:54.040 --> 01:32:56.210
on the call that we did on Wednesday,
2173
01:32:56.210 --> 01:32:58.000
we didn't have enough time to get to this,
2174
01:32:58.000 --> 01:32:58.880
but what I would do...
2175
01:32:58.880 --> 01:33:01.790
And Alex, just as, maybe, a recommendation to take,
2176
01:33:01.790 --> 01:33:03.849
to chunk this out, maybe add a second link
2177
01:33:03.849 --> 01:33:05.420
that covers for the first folks
2178
01:33:05.420 --> 01:33:07.520
who didn't get a chance to see this.
2179
01:33:07.520 --> 01:33:09.756
But we have support covered a multitude of ways,
2180
01:33:09.756 --> 01:33:12.150
Canvas comes with basic support.
2181
01:33:12.150 --> 01:33:15.390
But I will say there's no higher-ed institution
2182
01:33:15.390 --> 01:33:16.980
who uses just basic support.
2183
01:33:16.980 --> 01:33:19.810
We actually have 24/7, which is exactly what it is,
2184
01:33:19.810 --> 01:33:21.710
it's a 24/7/365.
2185
01:33:21.710 --> 01:33:24.040
And you can see what the turnaround times are.
2186
01:33:24.040 --> 01:33:25.420
From general business hours,
2187
01:33:25.420 --> 01:33:27.260
it takes a couple of days to get back.
2188
01:33:27.260 --> 01:33:28.610
This one moves you a little bit farther
2189
01:33:28.610 --> 01:33:31.801
up to the front of the line, but things like the holidays,
2190
01:33:31.801 --> 01:33:34.010
any of those things that take you one off,
2191
01:33:34.010 --> 01:33:36.250
a Saturday, a Sunday, it could be midnight,
2192
01:33:36.250 --> 01:33:39.340
to get you covered 24/7, that's what we do.
2193
01:33:39.340 --> 01:33:42.410
But we also offer what's called 24/7 + Tier 1.
2194
01:33:42.410 --> 01:33:45.890
So right now, if you did 24/7, you use the Help menu,
2195
01:33:45.890 --> 01:33:48.010
you fill out the form, it starts the ticket,
2196
01:33:48.010 --> 01:33:50.930
you hear back from tech support (indistinct) you're done.
2197
01:33:50.930 --> 01:33:53.160
However, anybody on the system,
2198
01:33:53.160 --> 01:33:54.560
this includes the non-degree folks,
2199
01:33:54.560 --> 01:33:56.240
faculty, students, you name it,
2200
01:33:56.240 --> 01:33:58.270
they would have the ability to pick up the phone, chat,
2201
01:33:58.270 --> 01:34:02.810
email, anybody, or anyone at our offices back in Utah,
2202
01:34:02.810 --> 01:34:04.220
they can get right directly to them.
2203
01:34:04.220 --> 01:34:06.200
And that's what's called 24/7 + Tier 1.
2204
01:34:06.200 --> 01:34:08.160
And I'll spot shadow it and bring it up
2205
01:34:08.160 --> 01:34:09.730
so you could read a little bit closer, 'cause I'm sure
2206
01:34:09.730 --> 01:34:12.120
most of you are probably squinting at this moment,
2207
01:34:12.120 --> 01:34:14.380
but the ability to get that support rather quickly.
2208
01:34:14.380 --> 01:34:17.040
So we will have you covered there around the clock,
2209
01:34:17.040 --> 01:34:19.690
and have that direct support if you need that Tier 1.
2210
01:34:20.740 --> 01:34:22.651
So let's talk about implementation.
2211
01:34:22.651 --> 01:34:24.590
Right now we're proposing a standard,
2212
01:34:24.590 --> 01:34:25.730
but we still wanna figure out
2213
01:34:25.730 --> 01:34:27.910
what other technical aspects we're gonna bring over,
2214
01:34:27.910 --> 01:34:29.790
maybe there's additional consulting that's needed,
2215
01:34:29.790 --> 01:34:31.090
and that sort of thing.
2216
01:34:31.090 --> 01:34:34.090
So for the tech teams that are going to be onboarding this,
2217
01:34:34.090 --> 01:34:35.750
they're going to get really familiar
2218
01:34:35.750 --> 01:34:37.420
with a project consultant,
2219
01:34:37.420 --> 01:34:39.441
what we call an implementation consultant,
2220
01:34:39.441 --> 01:34:41.060
we're going to work with the faculty,
2221
01:34:41.060 --> 01:34:43.010
we're gonna work with admins and staff.
2222
01:34:43.010 --> 01:34:44.840
And the whole idea is planning flags,
2223
01:34:44.840 --> 01:34:47.010
What's gonna make the successful at the go.
2224
01:34:47.010 --> 01:34:48.100
what's gonna make it successful
2225
01:34:48.100 --> 01:34:49.640
one year, three years and so on,
2226
01:34:49.640 --> 01:34:51.160
but work backwards from that.
2227
01:34:51.160 --> 01:34:52.780
So where do we need to be at three weeks,
2228
01:34:52.780 --> 01:34:53.900
where do we need to be at six weeks,
2229
01:34:53.900 --> 01:34:55.790
to make sure that we are on time,
2230
01:34:55.790 --> 01:34:57.250
not only with the migration
2231
01:34:57.250 --> 01:34:58.580
and the implementation of the new LMS,
2232
01:34:58.580 --> 01:35:00.190
but things like communications,
2233
01:35:00.190 --> 01:35:02.690
and you probably wanna broadcast this out to the universe,
2234
01:35:02.690 --> 01:35:04.940
we wanna make sure that we're all in line with that.
2235
01:35:04.940 --> 01:35:06.370
So you've got a project consultant,
2236
01:35:06.370 --> 01:35:09.180
and this person becomes the BFF of the institution,
2237
01:35:09.180 --> 01:35:11.480
the customer success manager.
2238
01:35:11.480 --> 01:35:13.100
Once you have this individual with you,
2239
01:35:13.100 --> 01:35:15.550
they will be with you for the life of the adoption.
2240
01:35:15.550 --> 01:35:17.560
And obviously we have you covered for technical support
2241
01:35:17.560 --> 01:35:18.620
all the way through.
2242
01:35:18.620 --> 01:35:20.250
So I'm not gonna dive into all of this,
2243
01:35:20.250 --> 01:35:22.210
but things like moving your data in branding,
2244
01:35:22.210 --> 01:35:25.313
so it looks like a UVM, you noticed Amineh's sandbox
2245
01:35:25.313 --> 01:35:28.010
look just like it would belong to UVM,
2246
01:35:28.010 --> 01:35:30.958
but the training, learning how to use an LMS,
2247
01:35:30.958 --> 01:35:34.030
you've been on one LMS for the last 10 years.
2248
01:35:34.030 --> 01:35:35.580
We will take that in consideration
2249
01:35:35.580 --> 01:35:37.880
when we customize your training plan going forward.
2250
01:35:37.880 --> 01:35:40.430
So the whole idea is we're going to get you in a room
2251
01:35:40.430 --> 01:35:41.420
or get you virtually,
2252
01:35:41.420 --> 01:35:43.920
however, it works well in your environment,
2253
01:35:43.920 --> 01:35:46.950
and get you to sessions, and really attack
2254
01:35:46.950 --> 01:35:50.080
the elements that are most important to faculty.
2255
01:35:50.080 --> 01:35:52.990
You could have these one-off scenarios, wonderful.
2256
01:35:52.990 --> 01:35:55.130
But I've seen a couple of folks here in the chat
2257
01:35:55.130 --> 01:35:57.220
asking a lot of questions, those are the things,
2258
01:35:57.220 --> 01:35:59.888
we have these common systems in place, how do we get there?
2259
01:35:59.888 --> 01:36:01.895
And we're gonna train to that, we have great trainers.
2260
01:36:01.895 --> 01:36:04.290
We'll get the support system in place,
2261
01:36:04.290 --> 01:36:06.435
which could be even a custom support system,
2262
01:36:06.435 --> 01:36:09.647
the same area code, and we'll even answer chat.
2263
01:36:09.647 --> 01:36:11.190
"Thank you for contacting
2264
01:36:11.190 --> 01:36:13.430
University of Vermont Canvas Support,"
2265
01:36:13.430 --> 01:36:15.160
could be something like that.
2266
01:36:15.160 --> 01:36:16.690
But I know a lot of you are thinking,
2267
01:36:16.690 --> 01:36:19.590
okay, we wanna go with Canvas.
2268
01:36:19.590 --> 01:36:21.290
now they're gonna move our content.
2269
01:36:21.290 --> 01:36:22.990
And I mentioned something in the chat
2270
01:36:22.990 --> 01:36:25.100
about what's called Scaffold Migration.
2271
01:36:25.100 --> 01:36:26.620
Our goal at the end of this is,
2272
01:36:26.620 --> 01:36:28.150
to the least amount of headaches,
2273
01:36:28.150 --> 01:36:29.690
the least amount of need for Tums,
2274
01:36:29.690 --> 01:36:31.833
or sleepless nights, all of that,
2275
01:36:31.833 --> 01:36:35.400
and content migration is what we take seriously.
2276
01:36:35.400 --> 01:36:36.680
So when you think of the thousands
2277
01:36:36.680 --> 01:36:39.020
of courses that are out there, how are we gonna move them
2278
01:36:39.020 --> 01:36:40.600
from Blackboard to Canvas?
2279
01:36:40.600 --> 01:36:42.350
We've done this more than anybody else,
2280
01:36:42.350 --> 01:36:43.360
we do it a couple of ways.
2281
01:36:43.360 --> 01:36:44.950
One is just standard bulk migration.
2282
01:36:44.950 --> 01:36:46.610
What usually comes out of Blackboard
2283
01:36:46.610 --> 01:36:48.460
comes into Canvas pretty cleanly.
2284
01:36:48.460 --> 01:36:51.460
The difference is you have different LTI links,
2285
01:36:51.460 --> 01:36:52.980
which means those links are going to be broken,
2286
01:36:52.980 --> 01:36:54.740
you'll have to put those back in the course.
2287
01:36:54.740 --> 01:36:57.770
It doesn't take a lot, but anything above
2288
01:36:57.770 --> 01:36:59.910
just getting familiar with the course and getting trained
2289
01:36:59.910 --> 01:37:01.280
is going to seem like a lot,
2290
01:37:01.280 --> 01:37:02.500
I have to learn a whole new LMS,
2291
01:37:02.500 --> 01:37:04.950
now doing all this fine tuning is gonna be a problem.
2292
01:37:04.950 --> 01:37:07.270
So we have a partnership with a company called K16,
2293
01:37:07.270 --> 01:37:10.590
where we can move thousands of these within a week.
2294
01:37:10.590 --> 01:37:12.680
What we do is we scaffold the process
2295
01:37:12.680 --> 01:37:15.760
so that all of these tools are connected when asked for,
2296
01:37:15.760 --> 01:37:18.770
or when they're being pulled into Canvas out of Blackboard.
2297
01:37:18.770 --> 01:37:19.960
We will follow that system,
2298
01:37:19.960 --> 01:37:21.570
rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat,
2299
01:37:21.570 --> 01:37:24.510
until we get all of those courses on board.
2300
01:37:24.510 --> 01:37:26.409
So the idea of faculty...
2301
01:37:26.409 --> 01:37:28.967
Let's pretend you adopt this
2302
01:37:28.967 --> 01:37:31.250
and you say, "Tomorrow, yeah, Dave, we're in."
2303
01:37:31.250 --> 01:37:33.790
And we go ahead and we get the process started in May.
2304
01:37:33.790 --> 01:37:35.580
13 weeks later now, we're at the end of August,
2305
01:37:35.580 --> 01:37:37.450
you're coming back from your vacation or holiday,
2306
01:37:37.450 --> 01:37:39.963
or what have you, you jump into Canvas.
2307
01:37:41.260 --> 01:37:42.610
You don't wanna see a difference,
2308
01:37:42.610 --> 01:37:44.020
you don't wanna see any errors.
2309
01:37:44.020 --> 01:37:46.230
That's what it is, it's student ready on day one.
2310
01:37:46.230 --> 01:37:48.190
So when it comes out of the student information system
2311
01:37:48.190 --> 01:37:50.197
with that identifier, it's ready to go
2312
01:37:50.197 --> 01:37:51.920
and students can enroll.
2313
01:37:51.920 --> 01:37:54.380
So we've done this with really large schools, small schools,
2314
01:37:54.380 --> 01:37:56.290
community colleges, for profits, not for profits.
2315
01:37:56.290 --> 01:37:57.930
I just finished a project at Northeastern,
2316
01:37:57.930 --> 01:37:59.750
we did 15,000 of these.
2317
01:37:59.750 --> 01:38:01.230
I'm doing another one right now in ethic,
2318
01:38:01.230 --> 01:38:03.120
I think we're doing 3000 of them.
2319
01:38:03.120 --> 01:38:07.080
So the whole idea is we can get faculty there a lot quicker.
2320
01:38:07.080 --> 01:38:09.010
Now we're not gonna do every single course
2321
01:38:09.010 --> 01:38:10.390
because it is a premium process,
2322
01:38:10.390 --> 01:38:13.020
but we could keep these other courses back here.
2323
01:38:13.020 --> 01:38:15.150
So maybe you're a researcher,
2324
01:38:15.150 --> 01:38:17.270
maybe teachers once every two years,
2325
01:38:17.270 --> 01:38:20.730
or perhaps for the data strategy of having it stored
2326
01:38:20.730 --> 01:38:23.380
for every so often in the data retention policy.
2327
01:38:23.380 --> 01:38:25.180
And having that, we'll wanna put that in the background,
2328
01:38:25.180 --> 01:38:27.690
we have archiving solutions for you there too.
2329
01:38:27.690 --> 01:38:30.140
So getting you on board.
2330
01:38:30.140 --> 01:38:32.240
Here's where we are today,
2331
01:38:32.240 --> 01:38:33.770
here's where we need to be tomorrow,
2332
01:38:33.770 --> 01:38:34.980
and here's the in-between.
2333
01:38:34.980 --> 01:38:36.990
That in-between is vital.
2334
01:38:36.990 --> 01:38:39.700
It's not us telling you how it's going to be,
2335
01:38:39.700 --> 01:38:41.347
you tell us what you need to do.
2336
01:38:41.347 --> 01:38:44.940
And we work in collaboration, so you give us the vision,
2337
01:38:44.940 --> 01:38:47.180
again, we put the stake in the ground on those goals
2338
01:38:47.180 --> 01:38:48.330
and we move forward.
2339
01:38:48.330 --> 01:38:49.530
So your onboarding services
2340
01:38:49.530 --> 01:38:50.960
could be a whole host of individuals.
2341
01:38:50.960 --> 01:38:52.740
So we got the implementation side.
2342
01:38:52.740 --> 01:38:53.880
Any custom development,
2343
01:38:53.880 --> 01:38:56.470
and that includes things like connecting a CRM,
2344
01:38:56.470 --> 01:38:58.340
or maybe a custom portal, or something like that,
2345
01:38:58.340 --> 01:39:00.540
that we need to move data in and out of.
2346
01:39:00.540 --> 01:39:02.910
And you've got the full community of Canvas, by the way,
2347
01:39:02.910 --> 01:39:05.420
we've got your support, we have training,
2348
01:39:05.420 --> 01:39:07.100
any additional adoption consulting,
2349
01:39:07.100 --> 01:39:08.440
but even change management.
2350
01:39:08.440 --> 01:39:11.360
Oh my goodness, what are we doing? This is a lot of work.
2351
01:39:11.360 --> 01:39:14.970
We're gonna help you swallow that in bite-size pieces.
2352
01:39:14.970 --> 01:39:18.380
This is a big undertaking no matter what you decide.
2353
01:39:18.380 --> 01:39:21.240
Our job is to make it easy and make a consultative
2354
01:39:21.240 --> 01:39:24.908
so it meets the needs of the university, and nobody else.
2355
01:39:24.908 --> 01:39:27.500
Our implementation strategy comes in five phases
2356
01:39:27.500 --> 01:39:29.860
over a period of about 13 weeks.
2357
01:39:29.860 --> 01:39:32.730
We did one for a large institution in Massachusetts,
2358
01:39:32.730 --> 01:39:35.830
in late March of last year, we did it nine days.
2359
01:39:35.830 --> 01:39:37.160
So just to give you an idea,
2360
01:39:37.160 --> 01:39:38.670
this is something we are familiar with
2361
01:39:38.670 --> 01:39:41.130
and we can move as quickly or as slowly as you need to,
2362
01:39:41.130 --> 01:39:43.810
but the emphasis is we need to be very deliberate
2363
01:39:43.810 --> 01:39:45.190
and we need to be tailored.
2364
01:39:45.190 --> 01:39:47.870
So here's your crew, your customer success manager,
2365
01:39:47.870 --> 01:39:50.300
or your BFF, so to speak, from here on,
2366
01:39:50.300 --> 01:39:51.230
the project consultant
2367
01:39:51.230 --> 01:39:53.150
will be with you throughout the realm of the project,
2368
01:39:53.150 --> 01:39:55.147
and then anybody else we need to bring in later on.
2369
01:39:55.147 --> 01:39:58.200
And that could be the migration with content specialists,
2370
01:39:58.200 --> 01:40:01.220
a training team, any solutions architect
2371
01:40:01.220 --> 01:40:02.450
for any custom development work,
2372
01:40:02.450 --> 01:40:04.410
support engineers, you name it.
2373
01:40:04.410 --> 01:40:08.210
So again, there's your CSM, your BFF for life,
2374
01:40:08.210 --> 01:40:09.250
your project consultant.
2375
01:40:09.250 --> 01:40:10.970
Again, we're gonna build this plane,
2376
01:40:10.970 --> 01:40:12.180
get you ready to board this plane,
2377
01:40:12.180 --> 01:40:14.690
and get you onto your destination.
2378
01:40:14.690 --> 01:40:16.380
But the Canvas trainers,
2379
01:40:16.380 --> 01:40:19.250
we'll have a portal for you available for on demand,
2380
01:40:19.250 --> 01:40:21.440
live events for you to go anytime you want to,
2381
01:40:21.440 --> 01:40:22.830
even after we give them a training.
2382
01:40:22.830 --> 01:40:24.400
So when we disappear, we get on our flights
2383
01:40:24.400 --> 01:40:25.890
and we head back home.
2384
01:40:25.890 --> 01:40:27.870
You will still have a lot of training left behind,
2385
01:40:27.870 --> 01:40:31.780
and even advanced capacities for more and deeper adoption.
2386
01:40:31.780 --> 01:40:33.280
Which by the way, our adoption rates,
2387
01:40:33.280 --> 01:40:36.400
when we move a school from an old LMS into Canvas,
2388
01:40:36.400 --> 01:40:38.210
goes to 50% immediately.
2389
01:40:38.210 --> 01:40:39.583
But that's pretty close to the adoption rate
2390
01:40:39.583 --> 01:40:40.930
that was already there.
2391
01:40:40.930 --> 01:40:43.100
Within a year, we see those numbers exceed 80
2392
01:40:43.100 --> 01:40:45.010
because of that training.
2393
01:40:45.010 --> 01:40:46.330
So that is in a nutshell.
2394
01:40:46.330 --> 01:40:48.510
And I know I went through a lot of this pretty quickly,
2395
01:40:48.510 --> 01:40:51.920
but the one thing I can't emphasize enough
2396
01:40:51.920 --> 01:40:54.700
is that it's deliberate, we want you to breathe,
2397
01:40:54.700 --> 01:40:56.850
and we're going to work together on this process.
2398
01:40:56.850 --> 01:40:58.260
I know it's a major undertaking,
2399
01:40:58.260 --> 01:41:00.463
but it doesn't have to be all that difficult.
2400
01:41:02.060 --> 01:41:05.110
So what additional questions have we had since?
2401
01:41:05.110 --> 01:41:05.943
Thanks, Dave.
2402
01:41:05.943 --> 01:41:07.400
There was just a question
2403
01:41:07.400 --> 01:41:10.410
with Scaffold Migration part of your proposal.
2404
01:41:10.410 --> 01:41:12.944
Scaffold Migration should be in there as well
2405
01:41:12.944 --> 01:41:15.520
in the first document.
2406
01:41:15.520 --> 01:41:19.430
Okay, I know there were prior questions
2407
01:41:19.430 --> 01:41:21.683
in the chat, so I'm recording everything.
2408
01:41:22.770 --> 01:41:24.520
Local LMS committee will decide
2409
01:41:24.520 --> 01:41:26.260
on which courses get auto imported.
2410
01:41:26.260 --> 01:41:28.850
Yes, that's gonna be an internal conversation.
2411
01:41:28.850 --> 01:41:31.540
Canvas does have the infrastructure to support
2412
01:41:31.540 --> 01:41:34.320
something that we have called a template.
2413
01:41:34.320 --> 01:41:39.120
And a template is just a push out of prescriptive,
2414
01:41:39.120 --> 01:41:40.210
maybe, course menu,
2415
01:41:40.210 --> 01:41:41.890
maybe there's gonna be some documents in there
2416
01:41:41.890 --> 01:41:45.920
that are gonna be helpful, and that's essentially it.
2417
01:41:45.920 --> 01:41:48.150
There's another option called a Blueprint,
2418
01:41:48.150 --> 01:41:50.740
which essentially is gonna be a master course
2419
01:41:50.740 --> 01:41:55.050
that is always associated to any of the subsidiary courses.
2420
01:41:55.050 --> 01:41:59.520
And you can constantly push down synchronizations of content
2421
01:41:59.520 --> 01:42:03.070
to all of those subsidiary courses, or child courses,
2422
01:42:03.070 --> 01:42:05.680
if we think of a parent child relationship.
2423
01:42:05.680 --> 01:42:07.840
Oftentimes the blueprint is gonna be used
2424
01:42:07.840 --> 01:42:12.610
for core curriculum, so you can think of Calculus 100,
2425
01:42:12.610 --> 01:42:14.420
something along those lines,
2426
01:42:14.420 --> 01:42:16.160
where you're gonna have a tenured faculty member
2427
01:42:16.160 --> 01:42:19.000
working with an instructional designer, building out content
2428
01:42:19.000 --> 01:42:21.620
that is typically gonna be taught by many, many adjuncts.
2429
01:42:21.620 --> 01:42:24.463
So those are the scenarios that we often see.
2430
01:42:25.440 --> 01:42:30.440
Now, I know that we are directly at 4:00 PM.
2431
01:42:30.590 --> 01:42:35.590
And we do have essentially two other areas to really cover,
2432
01:42:37.394 --> 01:42:40.060
in terms of our time today.
2433
01:42:40.060 --> 01:42:42.840
One is incredibly short.
2434
01:42:42.840 --> 01:42:47.769
So in terms of the Microsoft team's integration,
2435
01:42:47.769 --> 01:42:49.760
this was important.
2436
01:42:49.760 --> 01:42:53.500
We've done a lot of work with the Microsoft engineering team
2437
01:42:53.500 --> 01:42:56.509
to build a robust integration.
2438
01:42:56.509 --> 01:42:58.720
I heard a voice.
2439
01:42:58.720 --> 01:43:02.350
Jason, do we need to have a stop? No?
2440
01:43:02.350 --> 01:43:04.280
We're scheduled till 4:15 Amineh.
2441
01:43:04.280 --> 01:43:06.530
Okay, great, because I know we've been answering
2442
01:43:06.530 --> 01:43:09.680
a lot of the questions inline and during the chat,
2443
01:43:09.680 --> 01:43:12.690
so I just figured that we would continue going
2444
01:43:12.690 --> 01:43:14.720
and see how far we get.
2445
01:43:14.720 --> 01:43:16.245
The Teams integration will be great.
2446
01:43:16.245 --> 01:43:18.230
I think a lot of people will be interested in seeing them.
2447
01:43:18.230 --> 01:43:22.530
Okay, great, so when it comes to Teams more generally,
2448
01:43:22.530 --> 01:43:24.640
in terms of being inside of your course...
2449
01:43:24.640 --> 01:43:26.420
You know, this is your course menu.
2450
01:43:26.420 --> 01:43:28.070
I'm on a demo site right now.
2451
01:43:28.070 --> 01:43:32.250
So that's why it looks a little bit disorganized here.
2452
01:43:32.250 --> 01:43:34.210
But what you have is the capability
2453
01:43:34.210 --> 01:43:36.630
to really set up your teams meeting.
2454
01:43:36.630 --> 01:43:40.100
And your Teams meeting might be your synchronous lectures,
2455
01:43:40.100 --> 01:43:42.960
so maybe it's going to be Lecture 10
2456
01:43:42.960 --> 01:43:44.856
that you're going to have here.
2457
01:43:44.856 --> 01:43:47.290
Automatically, what's gonna be inherited
2458
01:43:47.290 --> 01:43:49.840
is the roster of your course,
2459
01:43:49.840 --> 01:43:52.940
so you don't necessarily to add in attendees,
2460
01:43:52.940 --> 01:43:55.300
unless maybe there's somebody in addition
2461
01:43:55.300 --> 01:43:56.600
that you need to add in here.
2462
01:43:56.600 --> 01:43:59.950
That's not a part of your course, that's a use case.
2463
01:43:59.950 --> 01:44:01.170
You would just be stipulating
2464
01:44:01.170 --> 01:44:03.990
all of the relevant information that you probably used to
2465
01:44:03.990 --> 01:44:05.530
when setting up Teams meetings.
2466
01:44:05.530 --> 01:44:08.400
So we put in the timeframe, you have the date,
2467
01:44:08.400 --> 01:44:09.850
relevant details,
2468
01:44:09.850 --> 01:44:12.780
and then you would just be saving that information.
2469
01:44:12.780 --> 01:44:14.520
And your students are then gonna be able
2470
01:44:14.520 --> 01:44:19.210
to go into this area and access the link within here
2471
01:44:19.210 --> 01:44:20.490
to open up Teams.
2472
01:44:20.490 --> 01:44:24.436
So that's essentially how the integration is going to work.
2473
01:44:24.436 --> 01:44:26.470
The dates, I believe,
2474
01:44:26.470 --> 01:44:28.470
are also gonna auto-populate in the calendar,
2475
01:44:28.470 --> 01:44:29.830
which will be nice for students,
2476
01:44:29.830 --> 01:44:33.060
and for everyone to stay on track.
2477
01:44:33.060 --> 01:44:37.410
We do have the Teams classes, LTI tool as well.
2478
01:44:37.410 --> 01:44:38.320
I don't know
2479
01:44:38.320 --> 01:44:40.400
if you were gonna be using something like this or not,
2480
01:44:40.400 --> 01:44:42.700
but essentially this is what's going to allow you
2481
01:44:42.700 --> 01:44:47.700
to very quickly access your team within this space here.
2482
01:44:47.720 --> 01:44:48.960
The same is gonna be true
2483
01:44:48.960 --> 01:44:53.000
for what the One Drive LTI is going to look like.
2484
01:44:53.000 --> 01:44:56.230
So there's been a lot of revamp when it comes to this LTI.
2485
01:44:56.230 --> 01:44:59.590
So I have access to all of the files
2486
01:44:59.590 --> 01:45:02.320
that are going to exist within my One Drive here.
2487
01:45:02.320 --> 01:45:04.210
Typically what I would be doing though,
2488
01:45:04.210 --> 01:45:06.950
in terms of just general instructional design is,
2489
01:45:06.950 --> 01:45:10.790
I would have my files distributed within my course modules.
2490
01:45:10.790 --> 01:45:13.630
So I don't have to do any additional work,
2491
01:45:13.630 --> 01:45:16.230
I would be able to pull from my One Drive,
2492
01:45:16.230 --> 01:45:18.560
but it's just a different method and workflow
2493
01:45:18.560 --> 01:45:19.393
of doing things.
2494
01:45:19.393 --> 01:45:21.830
But this is what the integration
2495
01:45:21.830 --> 01:45:23.530
is going to look like for you.
2496
01:45:23.530 --> 01:45:25.600
So it's been a long time coming,
2497
01:45:25.600 --> 01:45:28.823
the Microsoft team has been working very diligently.
2498
01:45:29.714 --> 01:45:30.610
You know, it's really great too,
2499
01:45:30.610 --> 01:45:32.470
about our relationship with Microsoft too,
2500
01:45:32.470 --> 01:45:34.881
that we didn't point out earlier, is that
2501
01:45:34.881 --> 01:45:38.180
if you have a Teams issue, you're gonna go to Microsoft.
2502
01:45:38.180 --> 01:45:40.350
And a lot of times when you go to a third party,
2503
01:45:40.350 --> 01:45:42.860
you'll ask questions, well, it doesn't work in my LMS,
2504
01:45:42.860 --> 01:45:44.202
so how does it do it?
2505
01:45:44.202 --> 01:45:46.130
Actually, the partnership that we have,
2506
01:45:46.130 --> 01:45:50.200
Microsoft will support the Canvas integration
2507
01:45:50.200 --> 01:45:51.540
and help answer those questions
2508
01:45:51.540 --> 01:45:53.180
on the functionality within Canvas.
2509
01:45:53.180 --> 01:45:56.560
That's a unique relationship that we have with Microsoft,
2510
01:45:56.560 --> 01:45:59.320
is that they will support Teams in the realm of Canvas
2511
01:45:59.320 --> 01:46:02.210
and get you to your appropriate destination.
2512
01:46:02.210 --> 01:46:04.110
So something I wanted to make sure that we pointed out there
2513
01:46:04.110 --> 01:46:05.300
and having that dual support.
2514
01:46:05.300 --> 01:46:10.300
Yeah, and now what I'm gonna do is move along
2515
01:46:10.350 --> 01:46:12.960
into the multiple-section courses.
2516
01:46:12.960 --> 01:46:14.770
So I'm really excited that we can cover
2517
01:46:14.770 --> 01:46:18.710
some of the addendum content within this session here.
2518
01:46:18.710 --> 01:46:22.220
Now, if you are teaching in a cross-listed fashion,
2519
01:46:22.220 --> 01:46:25.010
I could always demonstrate how to cross list your courses.
2520
01:46:25.010 --> 01:46:27.130
I'm not sure what you're currently doing at UVM,
2521
01:46:27.130 --> 01:46:30.330
if this is a task faculty are doing, or if this is something
2522
01:46:30.330 --> 01:46:33.820
that is taken care of by system administrators.
2523
01:46:33.820 --> 01:46:35.640
What you just need to know is that in Canvas,
2524
01:46:35.640 --> 01:46:38.360
you can cross merge your own courses,
2525
01:46:38.360 --> 01:46:40.440
but perhaps this is something that will be taken care of
2526
01:46:40.440 --> 01:46:42.640
in a more automated fashion for you.
2527
01:46:42.640 --> 01:46:45.580
So you have the options here.
2528
01:46:45.580 --> 01:46:49.220
In terms of just managing those course sections,
2529
01:46:49.220 --> 01:46:52.420
when it comes to your privacy policies,
2530
01:46:52.420 --> 01:46:54.630
admins are gonna be able to set up
2531
01:46:54.630 --> 01:46:58.300
whether or not students from one section can see
2532
01:46:58.300 --> 01:47:00.690
and interact with students from another section.
2533
01:47:00.690 --> 01:47:04.050
So that's just something to keep top of mind.
2534
01:47:04.050 --> 01:47:07.500
But when I do have my multiple sections working,
2535
01:47:07.500 --> 01:47:09.210
let's say for whatever reason,
2536
01:47:09.210 --> 01:47:13.330
I want to send out an announcement to one of those sections,
2537
01:47:13.330 --> 01:47:16.650
because maybe there's going to be an event
2538
01:47:16.650 --> 01:47:17.700
that's taking place,
2539
01:47:17.700 --> 01:47:20.010
so there's a guest speaker I need to remind them of
2540
01:47:20.010 --> 01:47:22.070
that's coming to class, I'm gonna be able
2541
01:47:22.070 --> 01:47:23.860
to find those sections directly
2542
01:47:23.860 --> 01:47:27.330
within my Post to area for an announcement,
2543
01:47:27.330 --> 01:47:29.330
and very easily just message
2544
01:47:29.330 --> 01:47:31.360
everybody within this section here,
2545
01:47:31.360 --> 01:47:33.530
in terms of an announcement.
2546
01:47:33.530 --> 01:47:37.600
Now, when it comes to assessments, more generally as well,
2547
01:47:37.600 --> 01:47:41.010
you are gonna be able to satisfy that very easily.
2548
01:47:41.010 --> 01:47:43.970
So within the assessment space,
2549
01:47:43.970 --> 01:47:45.600
let's say I'm just gonna go over
2550
01:47:45.600 --> 01:47:49.140
to one of my lab assignments here.
2551
01:47:49.140 --> 01:47:51.340
I'm just gonna edit this assignment.
2552
01:47:51.340 --> 01:47:52.500
Down at the very bottom,
2553
01:47:52.500 --> 01:47:54.710
and I mentioned this a little bit earlier on,
2554
01:47:54.710 --> 01:47:58.570
what you have access to is this Assigned-to area.
2555
01:47:58.570 --> 01:48:02.670
So if I'm assigning this only to a particular section,
2556
01:48:02.670 --> 01:48:03.910
I'm gonna be able to do that.
2557
01:48:03.910 --> 01:48:06.980
So this section might have a different due date
2558
01:48:06.980 --> 01:48:08.710
than the other section.
2559
01:48:08.710 --> 01:48:10.920
So this is where I'm gonna be setting up
2560
01:48:10.920 --> 01:48:12.783
all of that logic here.
2561
01:48:15.370 --> 01:48:17.970
Dave, were there any questions for me based on that?
2562
01:48:20.655 --> 01:48:25.480
Let's see. No, looks like we are pretty good.
2563
01:48:25.480 --> 01:48:26.750
Okay, great.
2564
01:48:26.750 --> 01:48:30.770
And if there is going to be at all, certain content,
2565
01:48:30.770 --> 01:48:33.660
aside from assessment or aside from
2566
01:48:34.590 --> 01:48:36.690
anything within the announcement domain
2567
01:48:36.690 --> 01:48:38.820
that you do not want certain students
2568
01:48:38.820 --> 01:48:41.220
to see or have access to,
2569
01:48:41.220 --> 01:48:43.720
a couple of recommendations for you,
2570
01:48:43.720 --> 01:48:46.680
you could also put your sections into a group.
2571
01:48:46.680 --> 01:48:48.160
And within the group space,
2572
01:48:48.160 --> 01:48:50.540
you could distribute information.
2573
01:48:50.540 --> 01:48:52.537
Or what you could also do,
2574
01:48:52.537 --> 01:48:55.770
and this is what I like to have, is in my modules...
2575
01:48:55.770 --> 01:48:58.870
My modules are my curriculum playlist, essentially.
2576
01:48:58.870 --> 01:49:03.370
And so within my module space, I can set up requirements.
2577
01:49:03.370 --> 01:49:06.470
And some of these requirements might be based on...
2578
01:49:06.470 --> 01:49:09.060
You know, you can't continue throughout the course,
2579
01:49:09.060 --> 01:49:11.420
you can't go to the next step of the course
2580
01:49:11.420 --> 01:49:13.530
until you submit your assignment
2581
01:49:13.530 --> 01:49:16.170
or until you score at least a certain grade
2582
01:49:16.170 --> 01:49:19.060
on this assignment or on this test.
2583
01:49:19.060 --> 01:49:22.380
This is more generally for course moderation,
2584
01:49:22.380 --> 01:49:23.750
than section moderation,
2585
01:49:23.750 --> 01:49:26.287
but I do find that it helps to support
2586
01:49:26.287 --> 01:49:29.350
section-based teaching very much.
2587
01:49:29.350 --> 01:49:32.870
What you can also do with other areas of content in Canvas
2588
01:49:32.870 --> 01:49:36.620
is allow for students to mark something as being complete,
2589
01:49:36.620 --> 01:49:39.000
where they're actually clicking on a reading
2590
01:49:39.000 --> 01:49:40.870
or clicking on a content page
2591
01:49:40.870 --> 01:49:43.690
and saying, "Yes, I did the task."
2592
01:49:43.690 --> 01:49:45.700
I find that to be a really good cognitive trick
2593
01:49:45.700 --> 01:49:46.910
I play with my students
2594
01:49:46.910 --> 01:49:48.660
because they are a little bit less likely
2595
01:49:48.660 --> 01:49:49.790
to lie to themselves.
2596
01:49:49.790 --> 01:49:50.680
If they didn't do the reading,
2597
01:49:50.680 --> 01:49:52.680
they probably won't click that they did.
2598
01:49:55.160 --> 01:49:58.810
Now, when it comes to the next use case...
2599
01:49:58.810 --> 01:50:00.456
I'm just looking at the time.
2600
01:50:00.456 --> 01:50:01.650
The next use case
2601
01:50:01.650 --> 01:50:06.050
really focuses in on sample pedagogical strategies.
2602
01:50:06.050 --> 01:50:10.940
And so one of those areas was focused in on group grading,
2603
01:50:10.940 --> 01:50:13.110
of which we demonstrated here.
2604
01:50:13.110 --> 01:50:16.580
You are gonna be able to have those group-based assignments
2605
01:50:16.580 --> 01:50:18.650
for your learners.
2606
01:50:18.650 --> 01:50:21.640
I also know that Peer Review is probably
2607
01:50:21.640 --> 01:50:24.220
something that is going to be very popular,
2608
01:50:24.220 --> 01:50:26.120
it's certainly popular in higher education
2609
01:50:26.120 --> 01:50:28.320
to use Peer Review, and this is something
2610
01:50:28.320 --> 01:50:30.400
that we support very well.
2611
01:50:30.400 --> 01:50:35.350
So any assignment or any graded discussion
2612
01:50:35.350 --> 01:50:38.410
can also undergo peer review.
2613
01:50:38.410 --> 01:50:39.750
I'm just going to move down
2614
01:50:39.750 --> 01:50:42.233
to one of my Peer Review assignments here.
2615
01:50:44.730 --> 01:50:47.860
And when I'm in my Peer Review space,
2616
01:50:47.860 --> 01:50:50.800
in terms of criteria that I would be setting up,
2617
01:50:50.800 --> 01:50:52.940
down at the very bottom,
2618
01:50:52.940 --> 01:50:54.730
this is where I'm gonna be able to stipulate
2619
01:50:54.730 --> 01:50:57.790
that peer reviews are required for this assignment.
2620
01:50:57.790 --> 01:51:01.125
I can automatically have the system generate
2621
01:51:01.125 --> 01:51:03.700
how many reviews per assignment,
2622
01:51:03.700 --> 01:51:06.900
or I can manually do this work myself.
2623
01:51:06.900 --> 01:51:08.840
If I have a system auto-generate that,
2624
01:51:08.840 --> 01:51:11.100
and I have to make changes a little bit later on
2625
01:51:11.100 --> 01:51:14.290
as an instructor, I'm gonna be able to do so.
2626
01:51:14.290 --> 01:51:17.130
I can also set this up as being anonymous,
2627
01:51:17.130 --> 01:51:21.070
depending on the assessment that is taking place.
2628
01:51:21.070 --> 01:51:25.060
Now, when it comes to general moderation of my peer reviews,
2629
01:51:25.060 --> 01:51:28.680
I'm always able to go into my Peer Review space
2630
01:51:28.680 --> 01:51:29.660
as an instructor,
2631
01:51:29.660 --> 01:51:34.660
to see how individuals are participating in this.
2632
01:51:35.390 --> 01:51:37.190
So are they completing the reviews?
2633
01:51:37.190 --> 01:51:39.234
Are they not completing their reviews?
2634
01:51:39.234 --> 01:51:43.770
Do I need to move somebody around in this course at all,
2635
01:51:43.770 --> 01:51:46.330
and in terms of making sure they review someone?
2636
01:51:46.330 --> 01:51:48.860
I would be able to do all of that work.
2637
01:51:48.860 --> 01:51:51.570
But you need to know about peer review in Canvas as well,
2638
01:51:51.570 --> 01:51:55.420
is that the instructor is the one who gives the final grade.
2639
01:51:55.420 --> 01:51:57.970
Certainly students are gonna be able to use rubrics,
2640
01:51:57.970 --> 01:52:00.970
they're gonna be able to annotate assignments
2641
01:52:00.970 --> 01:52:03.010
that their peers submit,
2642
01:52:03.010 --> 01:52:05.390
they're gonna be able to add in holistic feedback,
2643
01:52:05.390 --> 01:52:08.320
but the instructor, or the TA, is going to be the one
2644
01:52:08.320 --> 01:52:11.870
to give the final say for that.
2645
01:52:11.870 --> 01:52:13.080
And if you want to see
2646
01:52:13.080 --> 01:52:16.330
what the perspective is of peer review,
2647
01:52:16.330 --> 01:52:19.790
specifically within Canvas, I can do so as well
2648
01:52:19.790 --> 01:52:23.100
from more so the student side of things,
2649
01:52:23.100 --> 01:52:26.480
because this is going to be incredibly important
2650
01:52:26.480 --> 01:52:28.870
because I find that Canvas does a really good job
2651
01:52:28.870 --> 01:52:32.190
when it does come to Peer Review.
2652
01:52:32.190 --> 01:52:34.070
Are there any questions though,
2653
01:52:34.070 --> 01:52:36.930
for me right now, Dave, in the chat?
2654
01:52:36.930 --> 01:52:39.161
The chat looks clean at the moment,
2655
01:52:39.161 --> 01:52:42.500
we've about five minutes to go, so it's a really good time
2656
01:52:42.500 --> 01:52:44.613
to speak up if you do have any questions.
2657
01:52:49.540 --> 01:52:52.410
All right, so I'm just in my Peer Review area
2658
01:52:52.410 --> 01:52:54.250
as a student.
2659
01:52:54.250 --> 01:52:55.320
So this is what would happen
2660
01:52:55.320 --> 01:52:57.690
when a student has to review somebody else.
2661
01:52:57.690 --> 01:53:00.080
All of these inline annotation tools
2662
01:53:00.080 --> 01:53:03.320
that I had in the Canvas Speed Grader,
2663
01:53:03.320 --> 01:53:05.930
this learner is also gonna have access to.
2664
01:53:05.930 --> 01:53:09.020
Now, this assignment is not anonymous,
2665
01:53:09.020 --> 01:53:11.810
therefore the students will be able
2666
01:53:11.810 --> 01:53:14.900
to see each other very easily in terms of the commentary.
2667
01:53:14.900 --> 01:53:17.140
Certainly it's gonna be entirely up to you,
2668
01:53:17.140 --> 01:53:20.510
whether or not you want to go that route here.
2669
01:53:20.510 --> 01:53:21.750
But this is just an option
2670
01:53:21.750 --> 01:53:23.630
that your students are going to have.
2671
01:53:23.630 --> 01:53:27.050
Again, if there is going to be a rubric that is leveraged,
2672
01:53:27.050 --> 01:53:29.520
I would be able to expand out this rubric
2673
01:53:29.520 --> 01:53:34.138
and go back and forth and grade this student here.
2674
01:53:34.138 --> 01:53:37.410
Something to also take note of for your learners
2675
01:53:37.410 --> 01:53:39.632
when it comes to peer review as well,
2676
01:53:39.632 --> 01:53:42.550
it will always show up as a to-do list item for them.
2677
01:53:42.550 --> 01:53:45.980
So just as you as faculty have a to-do list,
2678
01:53:45.980 --> 01:53:48.700
all the tasks, essentially of what you need to grade,
2679
01:53:48.700 --> 01:53:50.790
your learners are always going to know
2680
01:53:50.790 --> 01:53:51.760
what they have to do
2681
01:53:51.760 --> 01:53:55.020
to progress throughout the courses that they're taking.
2682
01:53:55.020 --> 01:53:58.090
So it's always going to be front and center for them,
2683
01:53:58.090 --> 01:54:00.380
as well as all of their feedback as well.
2684
01:54:00.380 --> 01:54:03.040
So if you give them feedback, they're always gonna see it
2685
01:54:03.040 --> 01:54:06.163
as soon as they launch into their learning dashboard.
2686
01:54:08.670 --> 01:54:11.320
Dave, I'm not sure if you see this. I think Luke...
2687
01:54:11.320 --> 01:54:12.153
I'm not sure if that's a-
2688
01:54:12.153 --> 01:54:14.800
Yeah, we got a hand raised by Luke here. Luke, go ahead.
2689
01:54:16.870 --> 01:54:17.970
I figured I should shut up
2690
01:54:17.970 --> 01:54:20.915
until everybody else had a chance to ask too.
2691
01:54:20.915 --> 01:54:22.890
Couple of questions.
2692
01:54:22.890 --> 01:54:27.210
So we use clicker-style questions via Learning Catalytics,
2693
01:54:27.210 --> 01:54:29.310
which is instant feedback,
2694
01:54:29.310 --> 01:54:31.460
so we can be responsive while we're teaching.
2695
01:54:31.460 --> 01:54:33.700
Is there anything inside of Canvas
2696
01:54:33.700 --> 01:54:36.060
that would emulate a clicker-style question
2697
01:54:36.060 --> 01:54:39.870
where the teacher is getting rapid responses and feedback
2698
01:54:39.870 --> 01:54:42.600
to questions as they're being posed and able
2699
01:54:42.600 --> 01:54:44.550
to add questions on the fly as they go?
2700
01:54:46.170 --> 01:54:48.640
Okay, currently right now,
2701
01:54:48.640 --> 01:54:53.280
there isn't a solution that we have that would really mimic
2702
01:54:53.280 --> 01:54:55.450
what it is that you're describing, that rapidity.
2703
01:54:55.450 --> 01:54:58.500
And I'm assuming as well, 'cause I'm not familiar
2704
01:54:58.500 --> 01:55:00.870
with that particular solution, are you also able
2705
01:55:00.870 --> 01:55:03.510
to display the answers in real time,
2706
01:55:03.510 --> 01:55:05.150
potentially on a screen?
2707
01:55:05.150 --> 01:55:06.958
Yeah, I assume, or you can hide it from the students,
2708
01:55:06.958 --> 01:55:07.791
it's your call.
2709
01:55:07.791 --> 01:55:09.950
So we have a thing, you don't have a thing, that's fine.
2710
01:55:09.950 --> 01:55:12.460
Yeah, Luke, I'm actually familiar with that solution,
2711
01:55:12.460 --> 01:55:14.670
because that's a in-lecture type of solution,
2712
01:55:14.670 --> 01:55:15.820
that wouldn't be something that we have,
2713
01:55:15.820 --> 01:55:17.530
but the integration we have with Pearson,
2714
01:55:17.530 --> 01:55:19.960
I know that's a amazing product that Pearson acquired.
2715
01:55:19.960 --> 01:55:24.350
Yeah, it does work like that data will flow in.
2716
01:55:24.350 --> 01:55:26.000
So if you're doing things like attendance
2717
01:55:26.000 --> 01:55:28.960
or if you're wanna do clicker quizzes and that thing,
2718
01:55:28.960 --> 01:55:30.152
that would be-
2719
01:55:30.152 --> 01:55:32.140
Okay. That's great.
2720
01:55:32.140 --> 01:55:34.430
And then I think it went by, a couple of times,
2721
01:55:34.430 --> 01:55:37.990
the idea of threaded questions on quizzes or assignments
2722
01:55:37.990 --> 01:55:41.810
where it's multi-part, and you have conditional grading
2723
01:55:41.810 --> 01:55:44.650
based on previous answers, or you're changing what they see
2724
01:55:44.650 --> 01:55:46.320
based on how they answer.
2725
01:55:46.320 --> 01:55:49.600
So adaptive testing, getting really down
2726
01:55:49.600 --> 01:55:52.820
into the weeds of being able to dial that in.
2727
01:55:52.820 --> 01:55:54.440
Any functionality there?
2728
01:55:54.440 --> 01:55:57.100
Okay, so when it comes to, more generally,
2729
01:55:57.100 --> 01:55:58.790
the quizzing that would take place,
2730
01:55:58.790 --> 01:56:03.380
we do have one quizzing question type
2731
01:56:03.380 --> 01:56:06.470
that would allow for more of the case space work
2732
01:56:06.470 --> 01:56:09.350
that you would need to do, where you're presenting a prompt,
2733
01:56:09.350 --> 01:56:11.720
and then your learners are gonna have several questions
2734
01:56:11.720 --> 01:56:14.520
that are gonna be based on that particular prompt.
2735
01:56:14.520 --> 01:56:18.280
Now, when it comes to the adaptive component,
2736
01:56:18.280 --> 01:56:20.450
it's not going to acknowledge,
2737
01:56:20.450 --> 01:56:22.000
as they're going through the test,
2738
01:56:22.000 --> 01:56:23.360
okay, they didn't score well,
2739
01:56:23.360 --> 01:56:25.010
I'm going to bounce them over here,
2740
01:56:25.010 --> 01:56:26.740
because clearly they need to
2741
01:56:26.740 --> 01:56:29.190
work on this area a little bit more.
2742
01:56:29.190 --> 01:56:31.300
That reminds me a lot of a product I've used in the past
2743
01:56:31.300 --> 01:56:33.443
called Stack, which is open source.
2744
01:56:35.154 --> 01:56:39.070
What currently are you using that mimics that behavior?
2745
01:56:39.070 --> 01:56:41.359
We don't have that, I want it.
2746
01:56:41.359 --> 01:56:45.630
Okay, have you heard of Stack?
2747
01:56:45.630 --> 01:56:47.519
No, I'll look it up.
2748
01:56:47.519 --> 01:56:50.150
Okay, this is something that
2749
01:56:50.150 --> 01:56:53.700
a lot of engineering faculty I know use.
2750
01:56:53.700 --> 01:56:55.050
And when it comes to
2751
01:56:55.050 --> 01:56:57.490
the stimulus-based questions that I had mentioned...
2752
01:56:57.490 --> 01:57:00.870
So in this product that we have called New Quizzes,
2753
01:57:00.870 --> 01:57:03.450
you can create the stimulus question.
2754
01:57:03.450 --> 01:57:07.260
So what happens is that you have this prompt.
2755
01:57:07.260 --> 01:57:10.460
And this prompts could very well be an image,
2756
01:57:10.460 --> 01:57:13.490
it could be something that's written up,
2757
01:57:13.490 --> 01:57:15.260
it could be multimodal,
2758
01:57:15.260 --> 01:57:17.620
there could be an image and text and video,
2759
01:57:17.620 --> 01:57:18.610
and then you would be able
2760
01:57:18.610 --> 01:57:21.177
to attach all of the corresponding questions to that.
2761
01:57:21.177 --> 01:57:23.570
So when a student gets to that, they're going to know
2762
01:57:23.570 --> 01:57:26.090
that every question that is being presented
2763
01:57:26.090 --> 01:57:27.763
is associated to that one.
2764
01:57:30.870 --> 01:57:33.820
All right, I'll sign off, let other people ask.
2765
01:57:33.820 --> 01:57:35.743
Thank you, good to see all the stuff.
2766
01:57:40.810 --> 01:57:42.050
Any other questions?
2767
01:57:42.050 --> 01:57:45.340
We're just about a time actually typing an answer right now
2768
01:57:45.340 --> 01:57:46.940
on migration and whatnot.
2769
01:57:46.940 --> 01:57:50.270
So I'll leave it to you, Amineh and Alex,
2770
01:57:50.270 --> 01:57:51.370
if you wanna continue.
2771
01:57:54.030 --> 01:57:57.270
Well, I think it would be rare
2772
01:57:57.270 --> 01:57:59.690
for someone to have a meeting scheduled right after this.
2773
01:57:59.690 --> 01:58:02.570
So I think Luben just asked about some other questions.
2774
01:58:02.570 --> 01:58:06.110
I'm okay with going a little bit over,
2775
01:58:06.110 --> 01:58:09.850
if there are other burning questions.
2776
01:58:09.850 --> 01:58:14.020
Yeah, I'm just gonna go up in the chat
2777
01:58:14.020 --> 01:58:15.353
and review-
2778
01:58:18.475 --> 01:58:19.970
Or Luben, if you wanna unmute,
2779
01:58:19.970 --> 01:58:21.470
if there's some in particular
2780
01:58:21.470 --> 01:58:23.790
that you want to raise at this point,
2781
01:58:23.790 --> 01:58:25.313
I think that would be fine.
2782
01:58:26.770 --> 01:58:28.180
Thanks Luben for calling that out,
2783
01:58:28.180 --> 01:58:30.030
I was trying to hit them all in time,
2784
01:58:30.030 --> 01:58:32.823
so there could be one or two here.
2785
01:58:34.777 --> 01:58:37.450
I'm not sure how my audio is right now, but yeah,
2786
01:58:37.450 --> 01:58:39.140
I think there were a bunch of way up there
2787
01:58:39.140 --> 01:58:41.950
and I'm thinking that I'll have to take off right now,
2788
01:58:41.950 --> 01:58:42.880
that's why I was hoping
2789
01:58:42.880 --> 01:58:46.550
that maybe I can either watch the video later
2790
01:58:46.550 --> 01:58:49.853
or see 'em in while responding to chat.
2791
01:58:53.266 --> 01:58:55.880
Okay, I'm just gonna look up.
2792
01:58:55.880 --> 01:58:58.890
I also put a link to Stack in the chat.
2793
01:58:58.890 --> 01:59:01.190
This is actually something internally that I'm working on,
2794
01:59:01.190 --> 01:59:04.410
in terms of building out an integration with Canvas.
2795
01:59:04.410 --> 01:59:07.510
It's an open source software, but it's fantastic
2796
01:59:07.510 --> 01:59:12.510
for anybody that's teaching Math in their curriculums,
2797
01:59:12.520 --> 01:59:13.420
so STEM education.
2798
01:59:15.250 --> 01:59:16.650
I will say, Luke, you're bringing me back
2799
01:59:16.650 --> 01:59:18.275
to my days taking Physics,
2800
01:59:18.275 --> 01:59:20.770
and there're the questions that have the answer
2801
01:59:20.770 --> 01:59:23.100
to another answer, to another answer, and partial credit
2802
01:59:23.100 --> 01:59:26.013
and all that stuff's, so my head's exploding at the moment.
2803
01:59:26.980 --> 01:59:28.970
That's why Stack is so good.
2804
01:59:28.970 --> 01:59:29.803
Yeah.
2805
01:59:39.016 --> 01:59:41.808
Hi, it looks like we covered...
2806
01:59:41.808 --> 01:59:45.583
I'm trying to figure out what we're missing here.
2807
01:59:47.260 --> 01:59:49.000
It's possible, 'cause there were a lot of questions.
2808
01:59:49.000 --> 01:59:50.680
This is a really active group by the way,
2809
01:59:50.680 --> 01:59:52.383
and I appreciate your engagement.
2810
01:59:55.800 --> 02:00:00.430
Talked about groups, clubs, not academics,
2811
02:00:00.430 --> 02:00:02.003
assignments submissions.
2812
02:00:02.910 --> 02:00:03.823
Oop wait, hold on.
2813
02:00:06.613 --> 02:00:08.757
Thank you, Susanmarie.
2814
02:00:08.757 --> 02:00:11.683
I had a question about contract and specs grading.
2815
02:00:14.030 --> 02:00:16.130
Contract and specs grading.
2816
02:00:18.060 --> 02:00:20.730
Perhaps you could elaborate on that a little bit more.
2817
02:00:20.730 --> 02:00:24.200
Is that more in terms of the file type that will be accepted
2818
02:00:24.200 --> 02:00:26.983
for you to potentially annotate on?
2819
02:00:27.950 --> 02:00:30.120
Where students choose different bundles of assignments
2820
02:00:30.120 --> 02:00:31.810
as a path through the course,
2821
02:00:31.810 --> 02:00:33.900
can clearly represent semester-grade progress
2822
02:00:33.900 --> 02:00:35.057
in the gradebook.
2823
02:00:38.250 --> 02:00:40.450
Bundled assessments throughout the course,
2824
02:00:40.450 --> 02:00:42.334
okay so-
2825
02:00:42.334 --> 02:00:43.640
I'll actually copy and paste the question,
2826
02:00:43.640 --> 02:00:45.866
I'll move it down to the bottom 'cause you can't see it.
2827
02:00:45.866 --> 02:00:46.949
There you go.
2828
02:00:51.810 --> 02:00:52.643
Yeah, in other words,
2829
02:00:52.643 --> 02:00:55.780
we have faculty who are using expects grading,
2830
02:00:55.780 --> 02:00:56.790
where for example,
2831
02:00:56.790 --> 02:00:59.840
to take an extremely oversimplified example,
2832
02:00:59.840 --> 02:01:02.490
students who are aiming to get an A in a course,
2833
02:01:02.490 --> 02:01:04.650
might have to do assignments
2834
02:01:04.650 --> 02:01:09.650
in three different categories and do 10 of each.
2835
02:01:10.064 --> 02:01:12.750
If students who are aiming for a B in the course
2836
02:01:12.750 --> 02:01:15.470
might only have to work in two different categories
2837
02:01:15.470 --> 02:01:17.510
and do eight in each.
2838
02:01:17.510 --> 02:01:22.510
And then different grading contracts
2839
02:01:23.600 --> 02:01:26.570
which is a different system,
2840
02:01:26.570 --> 02:01:29.550
could specify differential numbers of assignments
2841
02:01:29.550 --> 02:01:31.090
for different grade levels
2842
02:01:31.090 --> 02:01:35.600
and perhaps different exam-score minimums
2843
02:01:35.600 --> 02:01:37.240
for different semester-grade levels.
2844
02:01:37.240 --> 02:01:39.950
And we've had faculty working various,
2845
02:01:39.950 --> 02:01:43.690
what we would call alternative-grading modes,
2846
02:01:43.690 --> 02:01:44.890
that often find themselves
2847
02:01:44.890 --> 02:01:47.730
to be fighting with the Blackboard gradebook.
2848
02:01:47.730 --> 02:01:48.949
Yeah, great minds think alike,
2849
02:01:48.949 --> 02:01:51.433
Amineh and I arriving at the same conclusion here.
2850
02:01:52.300 --> 02:01:54.890
One option, however.
2851
02:01:54.890 --> 02:01:57.050
In terms of some of the robustness
2852
02:01:57.050 --> 02:01:59.360
of what you've specked out...
2853
02:01:59.360 --> 02:02:02.130
I think I'm gonna need to draft a written response
2854
02:02:02.130 --> 02:02:05.997
in terms of how I would really approach it within Canvas.
2855
02:02:05.997 --> 02:02:10.570
But one opportunity that a lot of schools are tending to use
2856
02:02:10.570 --> 02:02:12.910
is something called Mastery Paths.
2857
02:02:12.910 --> 02:02:14.530
And essentially within Canvas,
2858
02:02:14.530 --> 02:02:17.660
what you're gonna be able to do is stipulate...
2859
02:02:17.660 --> 02:02:20.870
You know, on any given assessment that's taken place,
2860
02:02:20.870 --> 02:02:22.300
if a student has scored
2861
02:02:22.300 --> 02:02:25.200
between a certain grade percentage point,
2862
02:02:25.200 --> 02:02:26.530
you're gonna be able to delineate
2863
02:02:26.530 --> 02:02:29.960
what the criteria are for the grades here.
2864
02:02:29.960 --> 02:02:31.730
So you're seeing points because that's what I have
2865
02:02:31.730 --> 02:02:33.870
for this particular assignment.
2866
02:02:33.870 --> 02:02:36.040
So let's say a student as student scores
2867
02:02:36.040 --> 02:02:39.810
between zero and eight points, on this 20-point assignment.
2868
02:02:39.810 --> 02:02:44.170
If that happens, they are going to have to complete
2869
02:02:45.240 --> 02:02:49.070
these additional tasks that occur within the course.
2870
02:02:49.070 --> 02:02:50.040
And so these could be
2871
02:02:50.040 --> 02:02:52.320
part of the core curriculum of the course,
2872
02:02:52.320 --> 02:02:55.560
or when I see MasterPass work really well in Canvas,
2873
02:02:55.560 --> 02:02:57.790
it's because there's additional, subsidiary,
2874
02:02:57.790 --> 02:02:59.560
resource-based content.
2875
02:02:59.560 --> 02:03:01.750
So I could almost imagine that,
2876
02:03:01.750 --> 02:03:05.720
if you had a lot of content that is for a student
2877
02:03:05.720 --> 02:03:08.710
that only wants to score, let's say a C,
2878
02:03:08.710 --> 02:03:11.530
I would have sea-based resourcing and content
2879
02:03:11.530 --> 02:03:12.587
in the Canvas course,
2880
02:03:12.587 --> 02:03:15.100
and this is how I would be setting them off
2881
02:03:15.100 --> 02:03:16.820
on that learning path.
2882
02:03:16.820 --> 02:03:19.930
If they are more akin to wanting a B,
2883
02:03:19.930 --> 02:03:22.480
I would have content that is focused in on that,
2884
02:03:22.480 --> 02:03:25.840
so if they are scoring in that B-grade range,
2885
02:03:25.840 --> 02:03:30.340
they will perpetually be getting more B-range content.
2886
02:03:30.340 --> 02:03:33.905
The same is true for those A-class scores.
2887
02:03:33.905 --> 02:03:36.240
What I will say is that the setup of this
2888
02:03:36.240 --> 02:03:40.180
will be quite extensive, when it comes to make sure
2889
02:03:40.180 --> 02:03:43.110
that you have all of the resources within the course,
2890
02:03:43.110 --> 02:03:45.120
all of the assessments in the course,
2891
02:03:45.120 --> 02:03:48.520
so that the logic is going to work well for you.
2892
02:03:48.520 --> 02:03:50.880
And you're gonna have to create these mastery paths
2893
02:03:50.880 --> 02:03:53.440
per assessment that occurs.
2894
02:03:53.440 --> 02:03:55.570
And it can be connected to readings as well,
2895
02:03:55.570 --> 02:03:58.120
so it doesn't just have to be on assessments.
2896
02:03:58.120 --> 02:04:00.580
You know, if I said, "You need to do this quiz
2897
02:04:00.580 --> 02:04:02.310
in this discussion-board post.
2898
02:04:02.310 --> 02:04:04.790
If you scored between this type of a grade,
2899
02:04:04.790 --> 02:04:09.347
maybe I'm also gonna have you complete other other tasks."
2900
02:04:12.500 --> 02:04:17.300
That's one answer, but I know it's not gonna cover
2901
02:04:17.300 --> 02:04:20.793
the exact robustness of what you are discussing.
2902
02:04:25.180 --> 02:04:26.230
Thanks, Susanmarie.
2903
02:04:30.850 --> 02:04:32.460
All right, well, we're about five minutes over,
2904
02:04:32.460 --> 02:04:33.550
or six minutes over now,
2905
02:04:33.550 --> 02:04:36.230
so we should probably wrap up at this point.
2906
02:04:36.230 --> 02:04:39.550
And I wanna thank Dave and Amineh
2907
02:04:39.550 --> 02:04:42.140
for taking so many questions.
2908
02:04:42.140 --> 02:04:44.060
And on this Friday afternoon,
2909
02:04:44.060 --> 02:04:48.640
I just put a link to the survey in the chat,
2910
02:04:48.640 --> 02:04:50.820
and we encourage everyone to fill that out.
2911
02:04:50.820 --> 02:04:54.290
And again, thanks so much to our presenters today,
2912
02:04:54.290 --> 02:04:55.240
really appreciate it.
2913
02:04:55.240 --> 02:04:58.103
And thanks everyone for your engagement during this session.
2914
02:04:59.432 --> 02:05:01.209
Thank you everyone, I wish you a good week.
2915
02:05:01.209 --> 02:05:03.109
Thanks everyone, have a good Friday.
