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:

  1. The School of Nursing Contact (Julia Wolfe, Instructional Technology Specialist at  julia.wolfe@austin.utexas.edu or 512 471 4552.)
  2. The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL)
  3. Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services (LAITS)

 

Julia Wolfe – Support within UT Austin School of Nursing

  • Instructional Technology support
    • Need help with Canvas, Zoom, Honorlock, Panopto, Qualtrics, PowerPoint, or… dozens of other software and teaching tools?
    • Not sure if a particular tool or software is approved for use at UT?
    • If I don’t know the answer, I will find it or find someone who does.
  • Instructional Design support
    • Instructional Designers create things that help people learn. So, if you need ANY teaching-related assistance, not just with technology, I’m here to help. I can share ideas from other faculty or help you come up with a custom solution for your class and your students.

More information and lots of resources are available here on my blog: https://sites.utexas.edu/son-edtech-design/

 

CTL – UT Faculty Development & Instructional Support

The CTL provides all of UT faculty with many of the same services that I provide within the School of Nursing. But they also have the ability to do much more.

  • Instructional Strategies
  • Teaching with Technology
  • Grad Student Development
  • New Faculty Symposium
  • Grants and Fellowships

All these and more are offered by the team at the CTL. And much more information is available on their website:  https://ctl.utexas.edu/

 

LAITS – Desktop & Classroom Support

LAITS primarily helps us maintain our computer hardware and our physical equipment. They are also here to help us install and update software, ensure computer security, and more.

  • Desktop support – need assistance with your office or work computer? Maybe you need to software installed or it’s time to upgrade you to a completely new computer.
  • Classroom support – need help in a Nursing classroom with ANY of the audio/visual hardware in our classrooms? Maybe the projector isn’t working, or the microphone is malfunctioning, or you can’t find a USB port for the computer.
  • Contacting LAITS

Please disable the Panopto Video link in your Canvas course(s).

Please disable the Panopto Video link in your Canvas course(s). Instructions below.

Yesterday, 3/24/2020, the University enabled a new tool called Panopto in every Canvas course.

However, under the circumstances, you probably don’t have hours of free time to spend learning how to use it. So my recommendation to you is that you disable Panopto in all your Canvas courses until further notice.

To do that, follow the simple steps illustrated in this 2-minute video, or the 6 steps listed below:

It’s also likely that your students are not just using Google to search for things, but they’re probably also using Google Apps and Google Drive to create and share documents.

The good news is, that now you and your students share documents, without ever leaving your Canvas course.

But over the last few years, YouTube has grown by leaps and bounds and become the third most-visited Website (after Google and Facebook). It’s also quickly outpacing both network and cable television, especially with younger viewers.
