GSA 19/20 Canvas Courses: Now Active

Image
GSA Teaching Staff: Your 19/20 courses are now live! They should appear on your Canvas dashboard when you log in.  The 19/20 courses are now ready to be populated with your content. You will find that the new courses have a home page that includes instructional videos to guide you through the setting up process. All existing GSA staff enrolments on 18/19 courses should have been replicated in the 19/20 versions of the courses. This includes admins, teachers, support and observers on courses. External users - teachers, guest speakers, or external examiners - have not been added to the new courses. If any external user needs to access 19/20 courses they can be enrolled directly by the other teaching staff, by the programme administrative staff, or by contacting lthelp@gsa.ac.uk When you open your 19/20 course, you will notice that the home page is a page of instructions for you. You can also view all the videos on the  Using Canvas for Staff course . PLEASE NO...

First, a bit of news:  The Canvas teacher app  has been updated and greatly improved. Please install the latest version if you haven't already. The GSA Intranet has launched (and there was much rejoicing). This means that HR and Marketing forms and information are now found at intranet.gsa.ac.uk , rather than on the VLE. Please go to the Intranet from here on out. The Blackboard VLE is being phased out. The 2019 Degree Show is upon us. That means Summer! And New Canvas Courses... Before you head off for far flung locales, you may want to get your 2019/20 Canvas courses up and ready. Learning Technology have created a four - part video series that lasts 20 minutes in total, and a new 10-point checklist to tell you everything you need to know about rolling over your course and getting content imported and in place. You can view the videos in Canvas . Or, you can take a look at them in this blog post, below. You will also be able to view the videos...
