A few updates on our teaching infrastructure:

Knowmia has been discontinued, however it will remain active and available in Canvas through June 2022. A replacement has not yet been determined.

Hypothes.is will be integrated with Canvas around May 28th. Look for it as an option in your Canvas assignments. Questions? contact brad.hinson@ucdenver.edu or remi.kalir@ucdenver.edu.

Ally is a Canvas add-on that checks for ADA accessibility, and promotes universal design for learning. In partnership with OIT, the LETTS committee aims to have Ally enabled in all campus courses next year. We are actively seeking courses/volunteers to help us test Ally in the summer and in the fall. If you’d like to volunteer please contact brad.hinson@ucdenver.edu or rosanna.miiller-salas@ucdenver.edu.

Slack is being piloted this summer and next year as a pedagogical platform. This is done in partnership between the SEHD and ThinqStudio. If you’re interested in participating in a Slack community of practice or attending a workshop, please contact brad.hinson@ucdenver.edu or dennis.debay@ucdenver.edu.
