Often, you may need to scan in a handwritten paper, perhaps for reference later or for safe-keeping. Or you may need to take a picture of the blackboard/whiteboard or a few pages from a book for use later. Maybe you want students to submit a handwritten file or worksheet to a dropbox in D2L. You and your students can use the scanners on some of the Canisius College printers for most handwritten documents. However, a more useful and versatile tool is the Microsoft Lens App.
The Microsoft Lens App is a powerful app available on both Android and iOS. The Lens App allows students to quickly create high-visibility PDF documents out of any image and upload them to Google Drive or another cloud storage service like Microsoft365. You and your students can make single-paged or multi-paged PDF’s that are of high-quality but also faster to download than large image files (and don’t take up as much room on your computer either). If they need to email the PDF to you or to group members, students can easily do that right in the app. Check out the YouTube tutorial by clicking here.

Former Professor of Business and Communications Bruce R. Hammond, PhD, passed away at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL on October 1. He was 82.
Born in Buffalo, Hammond held degrees from Fredonia State College, Canisius College and a doctorate from the University of Buffalo.
He had a wealth of work experiences throughout his life including that of a musician in the bands “The Playboys” and “The Graduates.” He was also a professor of business and communications for Canisius College, Jacksonville University and St Leo University, and a business consultant for Kaset International and Achieve Global.
Hammond was an avid philanthropist who took joy in helping others, especially animal charities and the local homeless community. He held leadership positions in his church and sat on many organizational boards, including the South Shore Symphony Orchestra in Tampa, FL. In his free time, he loved the arts including painting and writing. He published several novels. While serving in the Army, he developed a love of food and travel, and he would travel the world to enjoy its cuisine, both from the dining table and in the kitchen. He loved life and wanted to experience all that it had to offer.
Hammond is survived by his son, John Hammond (Jamie) of Louisville, KY; his daughter, Vanessa Hlavaty (Sean) of St Augustine, FL; and his grandchildren Elizabeth, Rebekah and Remi. Additionally, he is survived by his siblings David Hammond (Priscilla) of San Antonio, TX, Lynne Manning (Johnny) of Kenmore, NY, and Bonnie LaRotonda (Joseph) of Williamsville, NY and their children.
