You answered a question I asked myself just this morning! 13:00:01 From randallcornish : Hi Everyone! 13:00:15 From momoko : Hello everyone 13:00:31 From lisettelasater : Hello! 13:00:36 From Sean : Jim, can you please unmute me? 13:00:42 From Sean : Go ahead Curry 13:01:16 From setemad : voice quality is bad now 13:01:28 From Sean : I can't even unmute myself 13:01:35 From Eli Clarke : Hello! this is eli clarke 13:01:36 From Sean : I have zero power. :) 13:02:14 From Jim Richer : Unable to unmute Jim 13:02:18 From lcardenas to Jim Julius (Privately) : hello Jim, I am using my cell 13:02:28 From lcardenas to Jim Julius (Privately) : I am 13:02:56 From jhackett : yes 13:03:01 From Kavita Patel : yes 13:03:02 From Jim Julius to lcardenas (Privately) : Ok sounds good 13:03:04 From lcardenas to Jim Julius (Privately) : using my cell phone, I cannot hear you! 13:03:04 From Cara Owens : Hi I can here 13:03:06 From Cara Owens : hear 13:03:44 From Jim Julius : If you don’t want Zoom to be full screen, you can choose Exit Full Screen from the View Options at top center 13:04:02 From Cara Owens : Is this session being recorded to come back and look at later? 13:04:08 From Jim Julius : Yes, Cara 13:04:18 From Cara Owens : Thanks! 13:04:27 From jdiokno : I’m having internet connectivity issues. what should i do if it drops? 13:04:48 From Carla : I don't see my name on the right side. Do I need to do something? 13:05:06 From Jim Julius : Carla, you’re fine. 13:05:35 From Jim Julius : Scroll to the top and probably you’ll see your name. 13:05:54 From Jenna Castle : I don’t think we can see Curry’s full screen? 13:05:56 From Jim Julius : Jdiokno, just connect again. 13:06:02 From jdiokno : also do we need to sign in or verify anywhere for flex hours? 13:06:10 From Carla : got it thanks 13:06:21 From Gabriela : I can't hear the dialogue. How do I fix that? 13:06:34 From Jim Julius : jdiokno, as long as you signed into the session with a recognizable name, you should be fine. 13:06:41 From jdiokno : thanks! 13:06:48 From Cara Owens : Is this an online class Curry? 13:07:02 From Jim Julius : Yes, the class Curry is demoing is a fully online class. 13:07:04 From Sean : It is an online class 13:07:45 From Kristi Reyes : this is awesome, Curry! 13:08:14 From Lisa Taylor : It's always interesting to see how different people run their classes. 13:08:19 From jdiokno : i would imagine that much of this would translate to in-class courses as well? 13:08:46 From Gabriela to Jim Julius (Privately) : Hi Jim, I cant hear the conversation. How do I fix that? 13:08:55 From Jim Julius : We’re starting with a high-level discussion / view of ways to use Canvas to organize a class. Curry’s approach is quite different from Sean’s and both are great. Once you’ve seen what they look like, we can get into some more nitty-gritty “how to” details. Hopefully all of this will inspire your thoughts no matter what kind of class you teach. 13:09:12 From Debra Sayble-Thornbrugh : Curry, is this a page or a module you created here? 13:09:16 From Jim Julius to Gabriela (Privately) : Are you on a computer? Can you other sounds on your computer? 13:09:21 From Sean : it is a page 13:09:27 From Debra Sayble-Thornbrugh : OK thanks 13:09:32 From Gabriela to Jim Julius (Privately) : Computer. I can hear sounds in my computer. 13:09:46 From Sean : I use the modules setup so you'll get to see that too. 13:09:53 From Lisa Taylor : Curry has a lot of formatting, I don't know how to set up the columns in Canvas, though I haven't tried. 13:10:04 From Cara Owens : There seems a lot more flexibility to organize than Blackboard 13:10:26 From Jim Julius to Gabriela (Privately) : If you go to the Zoom preferences, there are some audio settings you can try to adjust and test. 13:10:51 From dloedel : Lisa Taylor - I don't either. 13:10:54 From Jim Julius : Cara, in some ways yes, in other ways not so much. 13:11:00 From Gabriela Muller : That’s a really good idea, this kind of overview for students. 13:11:01 From Gabriela to Jim Julius (Privately) : ok, thanks! 13:11:41 From Debra Sayble-Thornbrugh : Is it possible to insert color backgrounds to a page instead of having white? 13:11:48 From Jenna Castle : Would it be possible to view your left side bar? 13:11:59 From Leigh Cotnoir : you might want to share the stylesheet page with everyone 13:12:22 From karenbrown : I am wondering if it is possible to link the Canvas calendar with my calendar in my Syllabus or do I have to populate each assignment? 13:12:46 From Cara Owens : How do you create the grid? 13:13:06 From Jim Julius : Karen, every dated assignment you put in your class will show up in both the Syllabus page of Canvas and the Canvas Calendar 13:13:08 From Nancy Thuleen : Karen - your assignments will auto-populate in the calendar, once you “Publish” them (make them available to students.) 13:13:29 From Jim Julius : So Cara, Curry will share where to find more about creating the grid ... 13:14:51 From Jim Julius : Jenna, I’m not sure what you mean by left side bar … Curry’s full browser window is visible. 13:15:29 From karenbrown : Thanks Nancy 13:15:33 From Cara Owens : Can curry show how he sets up the assignment so his calendar works like this? 13:15:36 From Jenna Castle : Sorry, maybe it’s just my view? I can’t see the left side of his webpage 13:16:37 From cmetzler : If I have Modules which contain Discussion, Quizzes, Assignments etc., and I make the Discussion, Quizzes, Assignments buttons disabled (though Settings), will the students still be able to see the material in the Modules, without direct access to the material to the buttons? (I would like to do so, so that students are accessing either through the Calendar or Modules, without going directly to the Assignments, etc? 13:17:10 From Jim Julius : Jenna, that’s odd because Zoom usually just shrinks the view if your window is smaller. Maybe try resizing your window though, or minimizing and reopening it? 13:17:23 From Jim Julius : Chris, the answer is yes. 13:17:40 From Jim Julius : Most people do just what you are suggesting I think. 13:17:47 From Cara Owens : Can you leave it open so students can go back to their work? 13:17:49 From cmetzler : Thanks! 13:17:50 From William : Can you clarify: I get that if you omit due dates in the assignments it won't let students jump straight from the calendar, but how do you populate the calendar with these redirections towards the weekly page? 13:18:08 From Jim Julius to Curry Mitchell (Privately) : I think you muted all so since you are host I can’t unmute. 13:19:01 From Jim Julius : William, what shows up in the Calendar for Curry’s students are “assignments” but of no value and with nothing for students to turn in. 13:19:39 From Leigh Cotnoir : important note about pages: if you link to them within your Canvas site and later change the page name, the other links will break, unlike in BB. 13:20:54 From karenbrown : Yep I did that too! Still cleaning up! 13:20:57 From William : Thank you, Jim. I'm still not sure I understand how to create what he has, where they are redirected from the calendar to the weekly pages, but I appreciate that clarification. 13:21:23 From Jim Julius : William, yeah, it’s a bit tricky and not typical. 13:21:57 From dloedel : once you upload files can you easily share them between courses or do you have to upload individually to each course? 13:21:57 From cindyschuster : How do you import a class from Blackboard to Canvas? 13:21:58 From Jim Julius : Other faculty address the concern by putting detailed reminders in their assignment directions. 13:22:35 From Debra Sayble-Thornbrugh : Is it a good idea to insert a Table and then insert things into the cells,to keep them aligned in the page? 13:22:52 From Leigh Cotnoir : yes 13:22:52 From jhackett : yes 13:22:57 From karenbrown : yes 13:24:10 From Jim Julius : Cindy, it’s not straightforward and generally not recommended to move a course entirely from Blackboard to Canvas. 13:24:39 From Jim Julius : Some elements do export from Blackboard and import into Canvas cleanly (quizzes, discussions, announcements, some assignments) 13:25:32 From Jim Julius : But many other elements end up just being a mess when importing into Canvas and are better to re-create in Canvas. Sometimes it’s best to cut-and-paste text from Blackboard into Canvas, and to download files out of Canvas and re-upload them into Canvas individually. 13:30:19 From mdeschamps : Under Assignment, whihch categoy to add a video? 13:30:34 From Cara Owens : Can I use google docs for my content? Would I use a link or copy and paste the document? 13:30:52 From Jim Julius : Cara, yes, Canvas allows you to embed Google Docs. 13:31:28 From karenbrown : Yes, I would like to know about adding a video 13:31:29 From Chris Vela-Che : Are there options on how to design your models? Can you show them please? 13:31:31 From Jim Julius : Mike, generally you add videos using the Rich Content Editor. You can add them to anything (assignment, page, quiz, etc.) 13:31:31 From Chad Tsuyuki : Jim, Sean, curry—at some point, do you want to address other design options like using Google Docs in place of Canvas pages to layout and host content? In addition to using the different Canvas features like Sean, for certain parts of my course, like my “Weekly Notes & Hints” section, I’m using a single Google Doc with a table that I essentially update on a weekly basis. This can be hyperlinked through an external URL in a module or embedded by following these instructions: https://community.canvaslms.com/groups/designers/blog/2015/04/23/using-google-docs-for-dynamic-canvas-content 13:31:45 From Debra Sayble-Thornbrugh to Jim Julius (Privately) : Jim, can yuoo insert/embed a PowerPoint slide show that students can run? 13:32:23 From jfusco : maybe a ? for later, but how do you hide items from student view such as "People"? 13:32:39 From Jim Julius to Debra Sayble-Thornbrugh (Privately) : Debra, I would do that via Google Slides. I think students would need to use PPT to view/run a PPT slide deck. 13:32:55 From Leigh Cotnoir : I use mostly pages similarly to Curry, but I like students to have a clear chronological path, so another way to use modules is place the page within a weekly module so that Next and Previous work as a student would expect. 13:33:06 From Debra Sayble-Thornbrugh to Jim Julius (Privately) : OK, but I teach the PowerPoint class, so they will have PPT software, too. Thanks. 13:33:09 From Jim Julius : Chris, I’m not sure what you meant by “design your models” … 13:33:37 From Curry Mitchell : Leigh, Yes. That's a great idea! 13:34:21 From Jim Julius : Chad, yes, that would be a good thing to do a special offering on at some point. Karen is doing a workshop on Monday on the Google Drive LTI but I think it will focus more on student use than course design. 13:34:57 From Nancy Thuleen : Those orange/black areas are graphic files you created, Sean? 13:35:04 From Jim Julius : Jfusco, Curry or Sean will demo how to show/hide course menu items before we’re done with this session. 13:35:23 From Jim Julius : Nancy, yes, Sean created those with http://canva.com - he’s doing a workshop all about that on Tuesday 13:35:35 From Nancy Thuleen : Thanks Jim. 13:35:52 From Curry Mitchell : Chad, it sounds like google docs is something a lot of people are excited about. Thanks for sharing that link! Once you embed the google doc, you still have to decide how to organize that page in your course, in a module or as a link from another page. Let's definitely that more about that here in the chat and in the Q&A part at the end! 13:36:42 From Chad Tsuyuki : Sounds good, curry. 13:37:33 From Leigh Cotnoir : perhaps you can also show people how to add Zoom instead of Big Blue Button because I didn’t find that intuitive at first. 13:38:16 From Chris Vela-Che : Excellent! 13:38:19 From Lisa Taylor : Forgot to hit save 13:38:25 From cmetzler : Save! 13:39:16 From Cara Owens : Do we have our own zoom account thru miracosta 13:39:18 From Cara Owens : ? 13:39:44 From Jim Julius : Cara, set up your zoom account via http://conferzoom.org 13:39:52 From Leigh Cotnoir : I made sure with my class first, though, that no one needed or wanted captioning. But I had to be clear about diff between captions and chat. 13:39:55 From Jim Julius : It’s available to all CCC folks 13:40:16 From momoko : Hi Jim, can you help me get back to the main screen? I can only see you now 13:40:25 From Cara Owens : Can I just post links to my google docs? 13:40:28 From Curry Mitchell : I'm muted 13:40:33 From Leigh Cotnoir : …because I don’t think Zoom is fully accessible yet still, right Jim? 13:40:41 From setemad : how do you bring a picture to your home page? 13:40:44 From momoko : I lost Sean’s screen 13:41:43 From Jim Julius : momoko, ok now? 13:42:05 From Jim Julius : Leigh, correct, it’s almost there for allowing live captioning. 13:42:45 From Jim Julius : Cara, yes, you can always just link to Google Docs. But there are ways to embed too. 13:42:50 From momoko to Jim Julius (Privately) : Again, I can only see you 13:43:04 From momoko to Jim Julius (Privately) : I don’t see Curry’s screen... 13:43:34 From Jim Julius to momoko (Privately) : If you hover over the view of my window, you should see some options in the upper left to switch the view 13:43:57 From Debra Sayble-Thornbrugh : I have to be able to insert/embed Word docs and PowerPoint presentation files into Canvas... not Google Docs. Can I do this? 13:44:17 From Chris Vela-Che : That’s cool! 13:44:28 From Nancy Thuleen : How do you get the link to open inside that frame (not leaving Canvas)? Most of my links seem to always open a new window. 13:44:33 From Jim Julius : Debra, You can embed Word docs for viewing but not for interaction 13:44:41 From Cara Owens : So the google doc comes up in Canvas? 13:44:42 From Jim Julius : I’m not sure if PPTs can be embedded. 13:44:56 From Debra Sayble-Thornbrugh : OK, JIm, thanks. I will have to experiment, then. 13:45:12 From Jim Julius : Nancy, Cara - these aren’t simply links - there is a bit more to it to embed the Google Docs. 13:45:19 From Chad Tsuyuki : Curry touches on the pros/cons of embedding. If you embed there’s a delay in updating the doc; there’s also a potential size/display issue if you don’t adjust the dimensions. If you don’t want to deal with update delays or size issues, you can link to the Google doc and have it open in the window or a new tab. 13:45:21 From jdiokno : I am scheduled for the 2pm video PDP. what time doe this one end so I can join that one when it starts? 13:45:56 From Jim Julius : We end this session at 1:50. 13:45:56 From Chad Tsuyuki : Here’s the link again, folks: https://community.canvaslms.com/groups/designers/blog/2015/04/23/using-google-docs-for-dynamic-canvas-content 13:46:01 From jdiokno : thanks 13:46:04 From Carla : Can't see Curry's screen. Just his face. 13:46:05 From Chad Tsuyuki : np 13:46:05 From stacymccarthy : After Google docs, my question is how do you attach images in pages? 13:46:28 From Carla : Thanks 13:46:59 From Jim Julius : Carla, hover over Curry’s image and you should see options in the upper left to switch what you’re seeing 13:47:20 From Lanier Castillo : I have a regular "in class" course - I take it I will still be able to use canvas to host course files, have assignments turned in etc.? 13:47:43 From Jim Julius : If you’re just embedding content and not an interactive Google doc, be sure to scroll almost to the bottom of the link Chad sent to read my post on that page 13:47:56 From stacymccarthy : Can you upload images from your own computer? 13:48:09 From Jim Julius : Lanier, yes absolutely 13:48:14 From Jim Julius : Stacy, yes! 13:48:16 From Lanier Castillo : thanks 13:49:32 From Cara Owens : Are the links that Curry has on how to design/use canvas available? 13:50:10 From Jim Julius : Cara, yes, his stuff and lots more is at https://tic.miracosta.edu/campus-teaching-technologies/canvas/ 13:50:12 From Lisa Taylor : Yeah, I want the Curry channel, lol 13:50:38 From Elaine Loughrey : Thanks Sean and Curry - it was very instructive to see the two different approaches you each took. 13:50:45 From Eli Clarke : Thanks!! Awesome workshop!! 13:50:46 From contreras : Thank you! 13:50:47 From Lisa Taylor : Great, thanks so much! 13:50:48 From cmetzler : Thanks, all! 13:50:49 From karenbrown : thank you! 13:50:50 From Chad Tsuyuki : Thank you! 13:50:52 From Lanier Castillo : thanks! 13:50:53 From Kristi Reyes : thanks! 13:50:54 From Garrett Miller : Thank you 13:50:54 From Curry Mitchell : Here is the link to the html codes I promised: https://miracosta.instructure.com/courses/7495 13:50:55 From Thanh Du : Thank you! 13:50:57 From Jenna Castle : Thank you - very informative! 13:50:57 From mattkinseth : Thanks for the great info! 13:50:58 From Melissa Lee : thank you 13:51:00 From lisettelasater : Thank you, looking forward to getting my class set up! 13:51:00 From mdeschamps : Thank you so much! 13:51:05 From Lisa Selchau : thank you 13:51:05 From terrysprague : What is the link to the next workshop? 13:51:05 From judimacbook : Thanks! Judith Phillips 13:51:06 From Anne Carol Hanley : thank you 13:51:07 From Debra Sayble-Thornbrugh : Thank you Sean and Curry and Jim! 13:51:09 From akalish : Thanks! 13:51:09 From Lanier Castillo : do i need to do anything to "sign in" or otherwise claim FLEX credit? 13:51:10 From Joanna Kahlow : Appreciate all the valuable info! 13:51:12 From annaocain : Thanks. Anna O’Cain 13:51:13 From Katie ortiz : thanks! 13:51:16 From Leigh Cotnoir : thanks
