Has anyone had a successful implementation of VR software for Communications courses? Specifically, software that has scenarios related to public speaking, interviews and/or difficult conversations? We are currently piloting Virtual Speech but would like to check out other options as well. --- ...

Thanks for bringing this up, Kait! I am doing a workshop for all users on our campus in April on this topic and would like to focus on AI integration into different areas of campus. Obviously, instructional/classroom/LMS is the first thought usually when it comes to AI integration and college campuses, ...

Student Portfolios

Posted By Kevin Wagenmaker 11-08-2023 09:14:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Instructional Technologies \ view thread
Let's talk student e-portfolios. They always seem like a great idea in concept, but rarely do they materialize as a consistently adopted tool for students - outside of being a requirement for a course or program. We adopted Portfolium (via Instructure) a few years ago and as many know, that product has ...

Innovation Space Grants

Not sure where to place this, so we'll start here. This is a two-part question... I am looking to implement an innovation space (or spaces) on our campus and wondering if anyone has applied for and/or received grant money to make this happen. Any ideas on grants would be great! In your spaces, what ...

I (personally) would use Camtasia but, in this situation, I would recommend using Canva. Easy to use...free...and plenty of templates to assist. A mobile camera or web cam and a quick import to Canva will get the job done! Templates (canva.com) ------------------------------ Kevin Wagenmaker ...

Heather: Canvas has it on their roadmap to introduce page design and saved templates in the near future. Although, now that I say that, the page design part is in my notes from the roadmap instructurecon session, but I can't find it on the actual roadmap...maybe it was included with the ...

RE: Vanderbilt - Why We Chose to Disable Turnitin's AI Detector

Posted By Kevin Wagenmaker 08-24-2023 08:39:29 AM
Found In Egroup: AI \ view thread
I never say never but I do not see us disabling this feature. Mostly because we are a smaller institution, and it is easier for me/us to "fan out" communication about the importance of conversations/communication & education around the topic of AI. This article is really good for the fact that it addresses ...

Thanks, @Chaz! The launching the laptop part is a good point...but I see someone walking by and tripping/ripping a cord in the wall/floor as a more likely demise for a laptop! 😅 Thanks, @Dana! We looked into battery options but ultimately decided that's one more thing for students/instructors to ...

Classroom Power for Student Devices - Ceiling install

Posted By Kevin Wagenmaker 08-01-2023 06:25:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Learning Space Design \ view thread
I would love feedback on classroom power options for student devices. I am a fan of ceiling power (pull down cords) - something like this but ideally everything but the plug/outlet would be above the drop ceiling. I realize they are not the most fashionable, but they are very functional - and cost effective ...

We are like Andrea mentioned. We are working to follow up on all third-party integrations currently in place to vet them more stringently from a security/vulnerability standpoint and putting more scrutiny via an integration request protocol for any new. ------------------------------ Kevin Wagenmaker ...

We had a similar experience when we were redoing/updating our instructional spaces. It was difficult to get feedback from some until we started removing the whiteboards to replace them with digital wall displays as the centerpiece...that got their attention. The plan was always to put the whiteboards ...

RE: Are you using MS Teams for online courses?

We use Stream and (Canvas) Studio for lecture capture. In some cases, instructors will use Camtasia for postproduction. We have looked into a more advanced lecture capture but can't justify the cost based on our use cases. Our instructors use Studio like crazy for many of the actions you mentioned (view ...

Hi Kristen! We use Teams for just about every course we offer, although the use cases differ. Every classroom we have has a Teams Room hub and attached Logi Rally system so users on campus can easily start and run their scheduled meetings. I encourage every instructor to create a Team for each class ...

Julie, enabling Improved Outcomes is done via the Admin area in your Canvas account. You can find it in Admin settings under the Feature Options tab. The updated outcomes management is mostly about the look with some subtle functionality enhancements. Here is the feature release on it: Canvas Release ...

Thanks, Brandon! We plan to import using that process as we have in the past. Did you set a standard across the institution for your calculation method? What about mastery level? Or did you let the individuals in charge of each outcome come up with that? ------------------------------ Kevin ...

Our first step is the curriculum maps, so that information is helpful! Brandon, I assume that all Outcomes ...
