With Turn-it-in being sold Turnitin to Be Acquired by Advance Publications for $1.75B | EdSurge News, I want to be prepared in case the new owner makes drastic changes that we don't like. What plagiarism detection software do you use, do you like it, and does it integrate nicely into Canvas? Thanks for any info you can provide. JDL

Thanks so much, Laura! I took a quick gander at your course and will come back to look at it in more detail. I should have also explained in my original post that I have several roles at Peirce. Yes, I am one of the Canvas Admins. The question about participation came to me in my role as Dean, Academic Operations and Faculty Support. Sally, a fictitious Department Chair told Bob, a fictitious Professor, that he, Bob, needs to be more engaged in the class discussions. Bob asked, well, how many should I have for you not to tell me that? Sally came to me and asked what our institutional expectation is. After 20 years doing online education, neither I nor the institution has a definitive answer to that. So, being our first year with Canvas (what an awesome difference!) I figured this was a good time to ask the community. I should also point out that I am really horrible at finding other stuff that people have posted - probably because I don't spend enough time in the community - but I should have been able to find your posts. Regardless, thanks for sharing! JDL

I know that this might seem like a silly question since no one asks this about face to face instruction, but would any of you mind sharing what you tell faculty who ask "how many posts should I make in a weekly threaded discussion so that I am fully engaged with the class but not overwhelming?" I know that your answer might depend on how many students are in the class, but do you offer any guidelines? Maybe xxx total posts by a faculty member for every yyy posts by all of the students or something like that? Thanks for any information and/or resources you might be able to provide. JDL

Sorry about that. Can't blame me for trying, I hope. That said, if anyone else likes the idea - to have it universally available without having to apply any local code - please vote it up! JDL

Okay, here goes. I am not going to be in Keystone this year. Those darn pencil pushers axed it from my budget. Here's what we - ALL of the faculty at Peirce College - would like. We would like Canvas to automatically highlight , in some manner, a discussion post made by a professor. Highlight the name, ideally, but highlight anything to draw attention to it. I would suggest that this be across the board for all of Canvas with perhaps a switch in settings for anyone who doesn't want it. It's absence from Canvas is causing students to pay less attention to faculty posts asking students additional questions to keep the discussion going. Someone already provided the answer to my request but it involves code and I don't know jack about code and our programmer (we have one at our school) is working on too many other institutional projects for this to make his to-do list. Our previous LMS (Pearson) did this quite nicely. Keep hydrated, everyone! Jon P.S. Whoever pulls this off will get either a used Canvas pen or an unused Bb pen. Why would I use a Bb pen?

rfa, I teach an orientation course and try to use as many features in Canvas as I can so that students will be prepared if future professors use any of them. I therefore use text submissions for journal posts. While they are not very long - from a few sentences to a few paragraphs - none of my students have told me that their post disappeared. I'm interested in finding out what the solution/issue is. JDL

Has anyone used or heard of Verbit.ai? They seem to provide outstanding closed captioning at a reasonable price and integrate with Canvas. If you have any information - good, bad, or indifferent, I would welcome your feedback. If you prefer to contact me directly, you can reach me at jlenrow@peirce.edu. Thanks everyone! Jon Lenrow

New to Canvas - we haven't rolled out our first course yet. It will be May 12. We're stoked! From this I gather that we cannot set the default notifications across the College, is that correct?
