With D2L’s latest update comes a new grading experience for the Quiz Tool. Many faculty will find it familiar, particularly if they have graded dropboxes recently. The new grade screen is currently in opt-in mode until July, when it will become the default.

Did you know? Canisius alumnus Alex Sidare’s award-winning honors thesis estimated that between 700,000 and 2.5 million birds die annually in Western New York alone from residential window collisions. When commercial buildings are included in estimates, this would at least double. Recent research suggests these numbers may be underestimates. One of the ways that our community can be more bird friendly is to participate in the national Lights Out Program.
Visit BirdCast (co-developed by Canisius alumnus Kyle Horton!) to see peak migration times when these actions are most important but consider adopting them year-round to protect our local birds as well as those visiting on their migration journey.
Turn off all nonessential (don’t compromise safety) lights and close window blinds between 10 p.m. and dawn from April 15-May 31 and Aug. 15-Nov. 15.
