In the most recent Canvas release (5/21), observers who are linked to multiple students can select which dashboard they want to view. This update allows observers to view one student’s dashboard and courses at a time.

In the most recent Canvas deploy (4/27):

• feature option filters are now available in course and user settings,
• local and course time zones are now displayed,
• and there is now a drop-down menu to “Select a Module” using Direct Share or Shared Content. 

In the latest Honorlock releases:

• accessibility has been improved,
• there are updated third-party password instructions,
• a recording indicator has been added to the student toolbar,
• and LTI messaging and functionality has been improved after a course copy.

During the pandemic, educators and learners worldwide have quickly transitioned and adapted technology to engage in new modes of teaching and learning. Now, as you plan for teaching in the upcoming year, Georgia Tech's Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) invites you to partner with us to leverage technologies to engage your students and support their success.  
 
The Teaching with Technology Partnership (TTP) is a CTL initiative that supports and promotes effective and innovative uses of technology to enhance teaching and learning.

These partnerships involve collaboration between: 

• Faculty Fellows: The Teaching with Technology Faculty Fellows will be the sponsors of collaborative projects with CTL. 
• CTL Learning Technology Specialists: CTL will be a creative partner in the projects selected for the TTP program. Each project will be assigned a CTL learning technology specialist, who will be available to meet with the Faculty Fellows regularly to develop, implement, and assess the projects. 

Design or redesign your course with expert guidance from Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) consultants and input from colleagues across campus!

This year we are offering two distinct experiences: participants may choose between an in-person track and an online track. 

• Participants will be guided through the backwards course design process as they develop or redesign the goals, assessments and learning activities for their courses.
• Each day will introduce course design frameworks and structures, create time for individual work, and facilitate sharing and feedback with colleagues.
• This track provides the most guided experience and may be best suited to those developing a new course and/or who are newer to the course design process. 
• Participants will also have access to the Course Design Studio Canvas site, which includes additional topics that may not be addressed during the in-person sessions. 

• Participants will access asynchronous modules via Canvas that provide frameworks, models, and structured exercises designed to help them build course elements, including learning goals, assessments, and learning activities.
• This track offers the most flexibility for participants who are interested in exploring areas of course design beyond the fundamentals of backwards course design (though the basics are also fully addressed).
• Participants will engage in synchronous collaborative sessions via Zoom to share their course element designs with colleagues and CTL consultants. 

Georgia Tech's Center for 21st Century Universities (C21U) invites you to attend a half-day event, "The Civic Role of Universities in a Changing Educational Landscape."

This event will take place on June 2, 2022 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and will feature Ángel Cabrera (President, Georgia Institute of Technology), M. Brian Blake (President, Georgia State University), Gregory Fenves (President, Emory University), and Steven McLaughlin (Provost, Georgia Institute of Technology). 

The event agenda includes a presidential panel discussion of the civic role of universities in a changing educational landscape (with a focus on Atlanta); a presentation on educational research at Georgia Tech and its critical role in the future of higher ed in Atlanta, led by Steve Harmon (Interim Executive Director, C21U); and a discussion, led by Ashok Goel (Chief Scientist, C21U) of the key role that NSF-funded institutes like the National AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education (AI-ALOE) play in the future of universities. 

Event Details:

• June 2, 2022 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
• Global Learning Center (800 Spring St. NW)
• Breakfast and coffee buffet provided for attendees beginning at 8:00 a.m.
• *Seats are limited - RSVP Required.*

Georgia Tech's NSF-funded National AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education (AI-ALOE) has submitted a video to the 2022 NSF STEM for All Video Showcase. The showcase is open for viewing, comments, and voting on favorites between now and Tuesday, May 17^th at 8:00 p.m. ET.
