New course evaluation platform, BlueCE, is live in Canvas this fall. Main campus course evaluations will be available to faculty members and students in Canvas through Blue; faculty members will be able to add a course menu item in Canvas which will allow students to access and complete their course evaluations through Canvas.
Pronouns. As recommended by the Data Governance Advisory Committee, you now have the ability to enter and display your pronouns in Canvas and Zoom. Please reach out to the LGBTQ Resource Center or email CNDLS with questions on pronoun practices and the classroom.
Need seating charts? Canvas’ Attendance module has a built-in function to help you set up a seating chart. You may want to encourage students to upload their photos into Canvas so that the chart is more useful for faculty.
Do you want to use a third-party tool or App in Canvas? Check out the list of apps installed in Canvas! If you don’t see the tool or app you want, you can submit the Google form linked here and we’ll work with you to make it available. The speed of Georgetown’s security reviews and testing depend on whether the vendors cooperate and respond quickly, but expect at least six weeks as a minimum for apps to be approved and installed.
Term end dates. Starting in January, Canvas courses will ‘end’ a year after the course begins and transition to ‘past’ courses. While these past courses will disappear from your Canvas Dashboard, you will still be able to access these courses. This change will help clarify and simplify how you can find and access courses but will not affect your daily operations. See our support page for details around what to expect and where past/future courses will be displayed in Canvas.
