There are a number of us that either have another conference just before this one or are heading out a week or more in advance for some vacation. Advance warning of fun theme activities would be great.

Watch the highlight reel from last year and you'll get a feel for what folks were wearing for the weather. My backpack always had a small umbrella and or my frog toggs rain jacket. As mentioned in another post, there is sometimes an email that comes out ahead of time with suggested theme attire for evening activities.

Roxanne, I see I've found this thread a month on now. I've flown solo at 3 instructurecons and always had a great time. I take my wife to another conference that is a driving trip and doesn't involve the flight or pricey guest pass that this one does. Your time will be filled with plenty of fun. I just posted in the other thread that I always try to rent a car and I would suggest that if your institution will allow it. I also take some extra days to enjoy the area, although being from the mountains already, it may not seem as fun to you as it does to me. If you've got an ounce of energy left after all of the stuff that Instructure plans for us to do, the towns of Dillon and Breckenridge are a short drive away and offer a lot of shopping, music and views. Get out and about and enjoy all the area has to offer.

For your generic assignment, you could go into the settings and turn off the submission to the database, which would keep subsequent submissions from coming back plagiarized. Our faculty have two very different philosophies on this: 1. TII will help students learn what behaviors constitute plagiarism and improve their writing. or 2. A "Free" TII submission will let students see what the system is capable of catching so that they can modify their paper just enough so that their cheating isn't detected. If students were asking to submit their paper to Turnitin, I would go with option 2. When you write a paper, you know whether you have used the same words as your source and whether you have given citations. You may not know whether you have properly formatted your in-text citations or your works cited page but TII isn't going to tell you that anyway. I don't see any benefit to having the students submit on their own but some do.

Yes, Yes, Yes. Having to conclude an enrollment and then go back in and add them back when I want to see their progress is a royal pain. A toggle that allowed to switch between showing and hiding concluded enrollments would be perfect. That way, if you want to see them in the gradebook you can and if you don't you wont.

We have not really had any issues. We also have not really needed Turnitin support. I have had complaints from faculty who had a lot of custom grade marks in Turnitin. They don't like losing those in the integration and go back to using direct Turnitin submissions. If someone knows how to get their custom marks into the integrated view, I would love to know it. The only other confusion comes up from the settings. All of your options for what you want Turnitin to check and whether you want the papers to go into the database or not are all in the additional settings. There is also a message you can give them notifying them that their paper will become part of the database and asking them to acknowledge that it is their original work etc. It really is a helpful integration.

We turn the multiple answer questions into fill in the blank questions and list the answer choices as part of the question. The students type their responses in and the instructors grade. Not a very good solution.

We only post things of institutional interest. Mainly maintenance windows for 3 party tools that we have integrations with, such as Turnitin, or college-wide surveys etc. I might post 4 global announcements per term.

I have not been able to find a way to do this. I think you could make some of it available as HTML but once you get into putting images in etc that would get impractical very quickly. We use courses for portfolios and this lets us do a course copy an accomplish the same thing. Here's a related thread. Using courses for portfolios

We use courses for faculty portfolios. A couple of benefits: Use rubrics to assess parts of the portfolio. We like to change user roles in the course at different points in the process. We create template courses to get them started and to give the reviewers a uniform look and feel so they know where to look for things. The idea has really been embraced by the faculty. The main reason that I could see to use courses for student portfolios, rather than the portfolio tool would be the rubric feature. Of course, you could use this feature by have the student submit the link to their public e-portfolio into an assignment in another course and use a rubric there but it's an extra step and it depends how you want to track outcomes. We did a presentation on this at our recent FL CanvasCon. I'd be glad to send the ppt to anyone who is interested. Josh

We heavily use the question bank folders to keep our questions organized. We create them in the banks since it is the only way to keep them from going into an "unfiled" folder.
The regrade feature needs to be allowed for questions linked to banks. If the question is wrong in one quiz, it is wrong everywhere so I fail to see what it matters if it is referenced multiple places. Regrading is critical to fair grading and it makes no sense to either be stuck with a choice between a completely disorganized question database and losing the regrade option.
