Space Saving Strategies for Online Courses
2020-08-03 13:00 - 14:30, 2020-08-07 10:00 - 23:30, 2020-08-12 13:00 - 14:30
Every Canvas course has a finite amount of space: 1 GB (or 1000 MB). This is not a lot of space considering any files you upload into your course takes up space, any files you import into your course takes up space, and any file students submit as part of an assignment takes up space. This workshop shows you how you can use other cloud based software to help alleviate these space problems.

Editing Closed Captioning (CC) Transcripts

There are three different video platforms that create Closed Captioning (CC) transcripts for videos: Cisco Webex, Microsoft Stream, and Yuja.
