Tech Tip – TTT
A quick technology tip to help you engage your students whether in the classroom or remotely.
Tech: LinkedIn Learning for Classroom Support
Did you know that Denison offers access to LinkedIn Learning? Encourage your students to explore thousands of engaging video courses covering technology, creativity, business, and beyond! It’s a great way to enhance classroom learning, support your course objectives, and empower students to build valuable skills.
Tech: Important deadline approaching- about 30 minutes from now
 |
| Spring break is around the corner, and we all have many tasks to wrap up before it hits. One mission critical assignment that we all need to be mindful of is to…… look outside for a few minutes. I’ll wait.
– — — Excessive screen time can affect mental and social health, eye strain, neck, shoulder, and back pain. |
Tech: Why the HEIC can’t I open my photos?
iPhone and Android devices can compress images and videos taken with HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container), HEIF (High Efficiency Image File), and HEVC (High Efficiency Video Encoding). These formats offer better compression and take up less space than many other formats. But you may run into situations where you need to use the images or videos in a software suite that does not support those file types. |

Tech: Help your students track projects and assignments
 |
| Google Sheets has a new feature that automatically creates a timeline from a spreadsheet that lists tasks. The timeline looks much like a Gantt chart you might find in project management software like Monday.com, Asana, or Microsoft Planner.
Have a look at this sample timeline for a student group research project proposal. To use the feature, at minimum your google sheet needs a task column and a dates column. |
Tech: Ever tried an AI sandwich?
 |
| During a recent AI presentation, someone asked me, “How do you use AI the most?” Without hesitation, I answered, “For writing.” Even though this was a math-focused audience, the response felt natural. My role as director of the CfLT and my growing work in AI education have shifted my focus- I’m no longer crafting mathematical arguments but writing for a broader, more general audience. |
Tech: Affordable Content, Tech Toolkit, and Say My Name
 |
| ETS is excited to share some valuable resources designed to support your teaching and enhance student success:
1. Affordable Content Course: You should have already received an invitation in Canvas to join the Affordable Content Course. Please take a moment to accept the invitation if you have not already. This course provides strategies and tools to transition to open resources and affordable content for your courses, empowering you to create an inclusive and cost-effective learning experience for your students. |
Tech: Download Your Courses, especially the gradebook, and Why Use Canvas Chat First?
 |
| Spring semester is around the corner, and we have two important recommendations to help your Canvas life run smoothly:
First, we strongly recommend that you download your courses so that you have your own copy. We especially recommend that you download your entire gradebook as a .csv file (see image below). Having a folder with past gradebooks can be helpful in writing recommendation letters, especially in the case of Alumni. |
Tech: Optimize Learning Using Library Links Instead of PDF Downloads in Canvas
 |
| Our library subscribes to a wide range of scholarly article databases, giving you and your students access to thousands of high-quality research articles. While downloading a PDF and posting it directly to Canvas may seem convenient, linking to the article through the library’s website offers important benefits.
Why Link Instead of Uploading? |
