Tagged: Learning Systems Update

On Wednesday Aug. 21, Respondus made a change to iPad functionality for LockDown Browser enabled-exams. All exams using LockDown Browser are now automatically iPad compatible by default.

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.

Starting this weekend, instructors will be able to assign modules, pages, and ungraded discussions to specific sections and students.

This new functionality brings with it a redesign to the feature that instructors use to set due dates and assign differential access to activities and content throughout their courses.

The upload limit on Manage Participants has been removed; users will now be able to enroll more than 10 participants at a time. 

The newest version of Manage Participants includes the ability to export roster data. It will export the portion of your roster currently displayed on your screen. If your roster is longer, switch to more users per page or move to a new page and export again. Instructors can add participants, remove and restore enrollments, and edit a participant's role.

As we add additional functionality over the next several months, we welcome your feedback. Please send comments to carmen@osu.edu.

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.

As of April 20, Autumn 2024 courses are available for instructors to create in CarmenCanvas. More information about creating a course can be found in the Teaching and Learning Resource Center.

The Discussion tool in CarmenCanvas is being redesigned. The redesign includes an updated UI and new features. Instructors can enable this on a course-by-course basis starting on March 19. When the redesign is enabled, all existing discussions will be shown in the new UI and will have new functionality available to them. No migration will be necessary. This new functionality will be enabled in all courses in between spring and summer semesters.
