Before you dive into autumn semester, be sure to learn about the latest updates to teaching and learning tools and other technology services from the Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI). Learn more about our new proctoring tool, Honorlock; review changes and improvements to CarmenCanvas; check out new features in Mediasite; find out how you and your students can access Adobe Express and Creative Cloud; and so much more.

CarmenBooks, the program that offers digital textbooks and access to publisher homework systems, is now powered by RedShelf. Students will be able to access all their current CarmenBooks titles by selecting the CarmenBooks icon from the global navigation in Canvas or from the CarmenBooks link within a course. Titles from previous semesters can be accessed with the Unizin Engage link within a course.

As of May 2, Manage Participants has the Edit Role feature. With this tool you can now change the role of your course participants at any time. For more information, visit the Teaching and Learning Resource Center.

Between spring and summer semesters, the Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) and various tool vendors will make updates and improvements to Ohio State’s teaching and learning toolset. Explore new features in CarmenCanvas, learn about new proctoring solutions and get excited for improvements to existing tools.

The Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) has been hard at work between autumn and spring semesters to update our tools and services. This round of continual improvement projects included added security measures for eLearning tools, improved synchronization of identity data, and a focus on accessibility awareness. You and your students should also be aware of upcoming changes to Wi-Fi at Ohio State and potential issues with email forwarding.

Beginning this spring, students, staff and faculty may notice a change in their displayed pronouns in CarmenCanvas and CarmenZoom. These two tools will begin pulling pronoun information from my.osu.edu, the Ohio State app, Buckeye Link (for students), and Workday (for faculty and staff). Any pronouns that had been designated natively in Carmen and Zoom will remain if you have not selected pronouns in a major university system.

As you start summer term and begin preparations for autumn, the Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) wanted to share some updates and reminders about teaching and learning tools available at Ohio State. You may experience some new features in CarmenCanvas and CarmenZoom, and you might start noticing more use of tools like PebblePad, Adobe and OneDrive. You’ve likely also seen the emergence of AI tools like ChatGPT, and experts from across the university weighed in to provide guidance on use of AI tools in the classroom.
