Kaltura MediaSpace Transfer Coming Soon
|
Kaltura will be migrating to a new server that's integrated with Canvas. What this means is that your videos that were hosted in the Kaltura server integrated with D2L will need to be moved into the new Kaltura server.
Please keep an eye on your email over the next few weeks as the Innovations team will be sending communication regarding the migration.
This project will be completed alongside the D2L Sunset.

D2L Sunset - What You Need to Know
|
As the UW System migrates from D2L to Canvas, we will be sunsetting D2L. This means that as of June 2019, we will no longer offer any courses through D2L. We will have access to the system through June of 2020, but it is strongly recommended that all students, faculty, and instructional staff that use D2L work on saving copies of their content before January 2020.
Here is a timeline of events:
- May 2019: All quizzes need to have been requested to be moved into Canvas from D2L. After May, the Innovations team will no longer be able to facilitate the transfer of quizzes.
- June 2019: All courses will be taught in Canvas. There will no longer be any courses taught through D2L.
- January 2020: All D2L content will need to be exported, saved, and imported into Canvas sandboxes by January 2020.
- June 2020: All access to D2L will be removed. Faculty, staff, students, and LMS administrators will permanently lose all access to D2L.

Canvas Tier 1 Support available 24/7
|
Instructors, please remember that Canvas Tier 1 Support is available 24/7, 365 days a year to answer any questions you may have about the learning management system.
Our administrative rights have changed in the migration from D2L to Canvas, so a lot of what we were able to assist with in the past has been limited.
Tier 1 Support is available through the Help menu on the black navigation bar within Canvas. You have the option to chat (instant message), call, or email Tier 1 Support.
Support is also available for your students, so please direct your students to Tier 1 Support if they have any questions or need assistance.

Survey: Online Students Interact More with Course Materials than with Faculty
|
According to Campus Technology, a recent study conducted by Quality Matters and Eduventures Research concluded that students interact with course materials (52% of the time) more than they interact with faculty, other students, or staff.
Here is a snippet from the study:
"At institutions where faculty members designed online courses on their own, interaction with materials was "unusually high"; and it was lowest at schools following a team-based approach that brings in various experts, such as instructional designers, to design the courses.
The five most frequently used teaching and learning techniques were, the report asserted, "concerned with students as individuals and ... largely conventional":
- Threaded discussion and "preparatory readings," both found in 86 percent of online or blended courses and programs;
- Short written assignments (73 percent);
- Short quizzes (66 percent);
- Long-written assignments (61 percent); and
- Pre-recorded videos made in-house (39 percent)."
