UO Libraries' Center for Media and Educational Technologies (CMET) is offering four Canvas training sessions to kick off the winter term (Register here): 

Office 365 Session - Thursday, January 5, 2017 - 11:00 am - noon

Beginning Winter 2017 VeriCite will be embedded in SpeedGrader. So, no more setting up two assignments or using the VeriCite External Tool and not having SpeedGrader for document markup!

The new interface is great, and what many instructors have requested. In this session, instructors will learn how to transition from the external tool VeriCite to the use of VeriCite in SpeedGrader.

The Canvas MasteryPaths feature allows instructors to customize learning experiences for students based on student performance on specific learning objectives.

Are you a Grades savant or a new Grades user?  Either way, this workshop is for you.

Topics will include setting up your assignments to be graded, managing the Grades tool, dealing with issues that might arise and challenge your knowledge. We’ll cover how to prevent gottcha’s and make the Grades tool work for you!  Bring your questions and ideas and you will leave with a greater understanding of Grades.

Coming winter term!  Office 365 integration into Canvas!

With this new integration, the UO’s provided Office 365 tools can be used by students to easily turn in assignments using Canvas.  Instructors can use it to quickly link to documents in the cloud or facilitate better collaboration in their Canvas courses.  Register for this session to learn more about the coming feature set.
