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/

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:

Getting Started with Zoom & BigBlueButton

 

Do you ever have guest lecturers who can’t make it to campus, or want to conduct online interviews or “virtual office hours”?
