10:27:48 From Lorraine Donegan : or should I say Cal Poly’s calendar 10:27:59 From Jennifer Staniec : Same question 10:29:54 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : Commons doesn’t seem to like Safari. I have always had luck with Chrome. 10:31:10 From Mitch Wolf to Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) (Privately) : will spring quarter courses on PolyLearn be copied over to Canvas? 10:32:49 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) to Mitch Wolf (Privately) : Yes, they are being synced in July 10:33:47 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : A quick Google search came up with an answer from the Canvas community about how to sync your Canvas Calendar with Office 365. Instructions are given here: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10578-4212710320 10:35:39 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : Zoom link for 11 AM session on importing your PolyLearn course into Canvas: https://calpoly.zoom.us/j/91436221373 10:37:05 From Tonia Malone - SLO : https://canvassupport.calpoly.edu/additional-test-course-request 10:37:07 From Mitch Wolf to Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) (Privately) : why do I need a sandbox? can’t I just build the course directly on Canvas/ 10:39:24 From Jennifer Staniec : Sorry. Which template is the most complete? 10:40:15 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) to Mitch Wolf (Privately) : Sandboxes are for experimentation and were mostly used when registration didn’t have the Fall courses ready to import into. I think Tonia has been used to saying that in the past. Also, a sandbox is useful if you are teaching a Miscellaneous course (not in catalog for club, etc.) and then ask for a miscellaneous Canvas course to be made. 10:40:58 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : The Cal Poly Template in the Commons is great! Also the Syllabus Template is wonderful too. 10:41:23 From Jennifer Staniec : So the Cal poly template does not have a Syllabus section? 10:41:38 From Ann De Lay : That came in handy for me during my summer course… an after hours issue. 10:42:46 From Jennifer Staniec : And does the Cal Poly template have the weekly template within it as well? 10:43:11 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : it has a place to put your syllabus but the Cal Poly Syllabus template is laid out with individual pages such as “Meet Your Instructor,” “Learning Objectives” etc. with next and previous links at the bottom for smooth navigation. If you took the Orientation to Canvas asynchronous course and look at the syllabus section, you’ll see four very different ways to build a syllabus. 10:43:35 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : Yes, the Cal Poly template has it set up already for weekly modules that you need to fill in with content. 10:44:49 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : Importing content from PolyLearn works but it is quite messy in terms of how it is laid out and takes time to fix. I prefer starting from scratch in Canvas because it is a different system and I like using the templates. 10:45:37 From Jennifer Staniec to Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) (Privately) : I plan to start from scratch for that reason. 10:45:57 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : I am working on a video in several parts that explains the various ways to put in your syllabus. Hope to get it done in a week. Stay tuned as links will be advertised in the CTLT Newsletter that comes out on Thursdays. :-) 10:46:33 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) to Jennifer Staniec (Privately) : Smart of you! After all, we will have this system for years and years and you might as well do it right the first time! 10:47:12 From Jennifer Staniec to Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) (Privately) : Starting from scratch helps me better locate the hiccups. 10:47:34 From Tonia Malone - SLO : https://htmlcolorcodes.com 10:47:50 From Shannon Sullivan-Danser to Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) (Privately) : I love this one! (Feel free to share if you think appropriate) 10:47:52 From Shannon Sullivan-Danser to Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) (Privately) : https://coolors.co/ 10:48:21 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : Shannon shares that she loves this one: https://coolors.co/ 10:48:25 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : Thanks, Shannon! 10:49:27 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : Nice, Shannon. I just looked at it and see it provides color schemes for people who don’t know what colors look good together. 10:50:00 From Bronwyn Ciccone : Is there a way to go into a “Student View” of a course? 10:54:22 From Shannon Sullivan-Danser to Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) (Privately) : Thanks for sharing! I love it ;) 10:56:29 From Brian Bates : Given that WPAFs are electronic, it would make most sense to keep PolyLearn available. We are required to include in our review process examples of student work 10:58:29 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : Brian, the issue is to keep the server running for PolyLearn would cost the university a ton of money. That is the issue. 10:58:48 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : https://calpoly.zoom.us/j/91436221373 10:59:14 From Brian Bates : So it goes… 10:59:19 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : Yep 10:59:59 From Charles Camp : Bronwyn, there is a student view option within each canvas page. I used it frequently to make sure make uploads were actually visible to my students last quarter. 11:00:12 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : Bronwyn, yes you can always see the student view by going into the Home button of a course and on the right you will see “Student View.” Click on it and when you are in student view, you will see a hot pink band at the bottom of the screen. 11:00:31 From Dr. Luanne Fose (she, her, hers) : It is actually a more helpful student view than PolyLearn’s.
