Campus Candids

Such a great turnout to last Friday’s forum for the President’s Innovation Fund. President Steve Stoute hosted the information session to share details with the campus community on how to submit proposals for funding and the criteria the committee will use to select applications. Time was made available after the presentation for attendees to ask questions and collaborate on ideas with their colleagues.

For anyone unable to attend but still interested in participating, visit the President’s Innovation Fund webpage for all the details.

President Stoute announced earlier this year that the university will invest $1 million over the next five years toward the creation of a competitive grant program designed to “unleash the power of innovation.” The President’s Innovation Fund will support original and inventive concepts and practices that demonstrate creativity and ingenuity, and foster academic excellence and innovation as outlined in the first pillar of the strategic plan, Answer the Call.

Panopto is an easy-to-use video hosting service that Canisius University has contracted with– think of it as a Canisius-branded, private, YouTube. With Panopto integrated into our D2L instance, instructors can use it all without the need to leave D2L. With it’s browser-based recorder, Panopto Capture, faculty can easily record quick lectures, introductory videos, and more. Take a look at some of the tutorials below to get started:

Additional Panopto tutorials can be found on the Panopto Wiki page. Faculty and staff interested in a more hands-on workshop should check out the Faculty Development Opportunities Wiki page.

COLI Quick Tip Logo

Next time you are unsure why something is not working or if you simply want a refresher on what is in your classroom, check out the Media Center’s Whats in my classroom? page on the Canisius Wiki.

On this page, the classrooms are arranged by Building Code and Room Number. Additionally, you can view instructions for various tech in classrooms, view classrooms in order, by building, or by different technology levels in the classroom amongst other information.

If you would rather skip the Whats in my classroom? page, you can instead type into the Wiki search bar Building Code space Room Number (OM 108, SH 1008, KC G18, HO 107, HS 112, CT 203, etc.).

Additionally, if you plan on using any of the conference rooms around campus, you can go to What’s in my conference room? page. And make sure to reserve the room on 25Live.

For a quick introduction to finding and using this resource, watch this tutorial video.
