Summer Quarter is just around the corner.  We are now all Canvas all the time.  Angel has officially been retired.  Faculty will still have access to previous Angel classes for materials for about 9 months ( ask us how) but no classes will be taught using Angel.

Be sure to watch for student Canvas face-to-face orientations on the first three days of the quarter.  Check with us at eLearning for times and dates.

Faculty who would like to use Canvas in a Web Enhanced, Hybrid, or Online format please see us in eLearning for details and direction. Students love have access to their course materials 24/7.  We also have a new training session beginning later in July.  Click on the link below for more details and to register for training.

Kelley and I have just returned from Instructure Con 2013 held once again in Park City, Utah.  Our brains are on overload from the many informative sessions we attended in the three days of the convention.  It was nice to have had Elaine Holster, Maureen Sparks, and Linda Avery attend as well. 

 










 
Hope everyone has a great summer quarter.

The eLearning office will be closed from the afternoon of May 8th at 12pm until Monday May 13th at 7am. 

We will be checking email regularly while we are away, so if you need assistance with a password change or other assistance in Canvas or Angel please leave me a detailed description of the problem, whether it is in Canvas or Angel, your account information, and what class it is you require help in, and I try to assist you as soon as I can.

If you need a test reset or have a question about course content please contact your instructor. 

Thanks Cindy
