With Microsoft 365 you can create a form (quiz) within your PowerPoint, students can download and click on the “quiz”, answer the questions and submit to you.  See the link below for instructions and contact this office if you want to give it a try!

Just a bit of housecleaning!

Whew now that Fall 2020 semester is over and most of 2020 do take a bit of time before you close 2020 books.  Download grades to your piratedrive or onedrive.  Make note of what worked and what failed.  If you had guest lecture recordings make sure their names are in the title for future searches.

This office will be open for trainings, consultations on technologies that have been used and those you may want to try.  Check out this blog, the Canvas blog, Academic Technologies for ideas!
