Spring 2019 will be the last semester Desire2Learn is available for courses.\u00a0 We encourage everyone to start exploring Canvas, ask questions, and attend trainings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a couple of the most frequently asked questions so far this semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Why can&#8217;t I change the course navigation?\u00a0\u00a0 How can students find my discussions?<br\/><\/strong>Some aspects of the canvas course, such as the home page and certain navigation items, have been locked in place by UW-System, and they cannot be changed. \u00a0This was done by UW-System to maintain a consistent student experience between courses at all UW institutions.<br\/><br\/>The navigation tools that cannot be added to the course navigation are: <strong>Discussions<\/strong>, People, Pages, Files, <strong>Quizzes<\/strong> and Modules. The ability to modify the default course homepage has also been locked to always display the 3 latest news items, and the course modules.<br\/><br\/>As a best practice, we recommend creating links in the Modules area directly to items such as Discussions and Quizzes which cannot be added to the course navigation.<br\/><br\/>For more information on how this was decided, UW-System has posted the following <a href=\"http:\/\/%20https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/dle\/download\/DLE-Course-Template-Design-Justification-Final-20180303.pdf\">Course Template Design document<\/a>.<br\/><br\/><\/li><li><strong>Why students can&#8217;t find my course?\u00a0 Why can&#8217;t I message my students?<\/strong><br\/>When courses are created in Canvas, by default they are unpublished.\u00a0 While the course is unpublished, you can add content and get it setup for the semester.\u00a0 The course must be published before students can access the material.\u00a0 You also must publish the course before you are able to send a message to the students.<br\/><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">Helpful Links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Canvas Login Page<\/strong><br\/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uww.edu\/canvas\">http:\/\/www.uww.edu\/canvas<\/a><\/li><li><strong>Canvas Transition Website<\/strong><br\/><a href=\"http:\/\/go.uww.edu\/canvas-transition\">http:\/\/go.uww.edu\/canvas-transition<\/a><\/li><li><strong>LTC Canvas Workshop Signup<\/strong><br\/><a href=\"http:\/\/go.uww.edu\/ltc-workshop-signup\">http:\/\/go.uww.edu\/ltc-workshop-signup<\/a><\/li><li><strong>D2L Course Complexity App<\/strong><br\/><a href=\"http:\/\/dl.uwsa.edu\">http:\/\/dl.uwsa.edu<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">24\/7\/365 Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Canvas has a robust technical support service that includes 24 \/ 7 \/ 365 toll-free hotline and live online chat interactions.\u00a0 Please use this for all Canvas Questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Phone: <a href=\"tel:18338333208\">1.833.833.3208<\/a><\/li><li>Chat: <a href=\"https:\/\/cases.canvaslms.com\/liveagentchat?chattype=admin\">https:\/\/cases.canvaslms.com\/liveagentchat?chattype=admin<\/a><br\/><\/li><li>Email: <a href=\"mailto:support@instructure.com\">support@instructure.com<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Canvas Workshops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are already in Canvas or looking to make the move from D2L to Canvas this Spring, the LTC will be offering Fall Workshops that you may be interested in.

Over the summer of 2018, Matt piloted adaptive learning in his own course using the platform \u201cRealizeit,\u201d and he is now working with other instructors to use the platform in their courses. Matt earned his Ph.D. in Urban Education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and is currently the Interim Associate Dean of the UW-Whitewater School of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div><hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cerego<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cerego is an adaptive learning technology that is being piloted by UW-Whitewater for the 2018-2019 academic year. Instructors can use Cerego to actively engage and assess their students\u2019 learning throughout the course of the semester. It is intended to comprise between 7 and 10% of a course. With Cerego you can create content for students to access and work through at their individual learning level. Knowledge is tested through the use of multiple choice and true\/false questions, flashcards, fill-in-the-blank passages, and interactive figures. Cerego determines what an individual student needs to study based on correct and incorrect responses and then notifies students when they should return to Cerego so that learning is distributed over time. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"202\" height=\"144\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/instructional\/files\/2018\/09\/CeregoLogo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61400\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Need more information?

The LTC launched the Active Learning Academy in the summer of 2018. Instructors learned how to leverage pedagogy, technology, and space to create deep learning experiences for their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in learning more about active learning pedagogy and leveraging technology for active learning?
