GSA eLearning News

  In this Tech Tip we show students how to update their notification settings on a course by course basis. This process also applies to staff who wish to reduce the amount of Canvas notifications they recieve to their GSA email address. Staff may wish to customise notifications for specific courses where they are enrolled as a teacher, but do not want to receive the communications to students from other staff. We do not recommend turning notifications off completely, as you may miss out on essential information, rather we suggest to use a daily or weekly summary email to condense multiple course notifications into one. 

This week's Tech Tip is useful for staff and students: we're showing you how to share your Miro boards! Miro is collaborative online whiteboard that you can use for planning, workshops, exhibitions and more.  If you haven't use Miro before, please check out our other Tech Tip on Applying for a Miro Account  to get started.  Sharing your Miro Board

 This week's Student Tech Tip demonstrates how to install and use Grammarly. Grammarly is a writing assistant app that can help you and your students to eliminate grammar errors and make written text clear and engaging. You can choose to use Grammarly on the web, or install one of the Grammarly apps to use from your device. The video below demonstrates both options.  If you have any questions about this topic or learning technology in general, please contact LTHelp@gsa.ac.uk
