If you are not aware, UW-Whitewater has a license for the vast array of film content available in the Films on Demand library.  You can now access these Films directly from Desire2Learn (D2L)!

1. Within the D2L Editor, select the “Insert Stuff” tool.
2. Towards the bottom, choose the “Films on Demand” link.
3. From here, you can search through the films, or type in the name of the film directly.
4. Once you have found the film you want to use, click the “Embed” button.
5. Finally click on “Insert”.
6. The video should now appear in the editor.  Click on “Save” or “Update” at the bottom of the page.
7. That’s it!

If you have any questions about this integration, please contact UW-W Desire2Learn Support.

This fall, we are excited to offer a new option for you in our video recording studio – KleerBoard!

If you would like to try it out, give us a call at 262.472.1004 or email at ltc@uww.edu to schedule an appointment!

The Learning Technology Center (LTC) has been supporting the use of student response system (SRS) – aka Clickers – for years in the classroom.  Over the years we have been adjusting and modifying the service to best suit the needs of instructors and students.

This Fall, we are upgrading to Turning Point Cloud which includes a number of great new features!

• Direct integration with Desire2Learn (D2L).  Device registration is done right in D2L, and you can easily pull the device roster list into Turning Point, and also easily push grades back up to Deisre2Learn.
• Net-ID Integration.  Instructors and Students will be able to login with their UW-W Net-ID and password.
• BYOD.  Turning Point Cloud enables students to turn their own device into a clicker by purchasing a license to use phone applications, or directly via a website.
• Enhanced Reporting Tools.  The new interface includes some additional analysis and mangement tools to get the most out of your polling results.
• Training and Support.  The LTC is here to offer basic training and support, but the vendor is also available to schedule ad-hoc training’s and offer support as needed.

If you would like more information, please feel free to contact us at ltc@uww.edu or call at 262-472-1004.
