You need help. But maybe you’re not sure whom to contact.
So… who you gonna call?
Below are three resources you can always turn to for assistance:
In exploring all the different ways we can customize our Canvas courses, one of the options that many of you have expressed interest in is the idea of adding buttons (or tiles) to your course home page to help your students navigate your course.
Well, here’s any easy way you can create your own, custom-made, buttons quickly and easily.
Adding closed captions to your recordings is one of the best things you can do for viewers, and not just those with hearing problems. But, now you can also do so in real time so students don’t have to wait from captions to become available, they can read them while you’re talking.
You need to add narration to a PowerPoint slideshow but you don’t know where to start.
That means it’s time to put the finishing touches on your syllabus, get your Canvas course up and running, make sure all your slideshows are finished, and so much more.
In addition to the 10,000 other things on your to-do list, here are a few resources that will help you start the semester strong.
Are you teaching in a “flipped classroom”?
Do you want to easily add a voice over to your PowerPoint slideshow?
Do you have VHS or DVD videos that you wish you could upload into Canvas for future use?
The semester is coming to an end and summer is around the corner, but there’s no shortage of things happening around campus and here in the School of Nursing. Here are just a few that I wanted to share with you and highlight. If you know of anything you’d like to add to future emails, please let me know!
Lecture Capture (video recordings and podcasts) on a Budget! – Custom-made resources to help you easily record audio and/or video of your lectures, guest speakers or anything else.
Are you (and your students) tired of the same old PowerPoint slideshows? Would you like a few different ways to take your slideshows to the next level?
Well, then you’ve come to the right place! We have several new resources to help you do just that.
You can embed ANY web page into your PowerPoint slideshow!
The steps below will show you how to embed a Sli.do poll into your slideshow. The steps are virtually identical if you’re using Kahoot!, Poll Everywhere, or just about any other website.
How do I embed Slido into my presentation?
Slido’s Present view can be embedded into your slides to make poll results and live questions visible directly in your PowerPoint presentation. The setup is really easy! To get started click the link above.
For more detailed instructions, you can also refer to this blog post.
If you have any questions or you’d like to schedule a 1-on-1 training session to learn more about PowerPoint or anything else, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
