Just a friendly reminder: this feature exclusively works with CSUN Google accounts. Non-CSUN accounts, unfortunately, cannot be connected. Read More About Quick Tip: Google Drive in Canvas Assignments

Adding LinkedIn Learning Content to your Canvas Course

October 19, 2023

Adding LinkedIn Learning to Canvas

LinkedIn Learning provides an extensive library of learning content on topics ranging from leadership and project management to data science and 3D modeling. While this platform has been available to active CSUN students, faculty and staff for some time, the Canvas integration takes it a step further by enabling faculty to link to specific LinkedIn Learning assets within Canvas page or assignment. The latter will also allow you to identify students who completed watching the videos and, if desired, award credit. Read More About Adding LinkedIn Learning Content to your Canvas Course

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making the digital world more accessible. Paradoxically, some AI tools are themselves not accessible. If you want to use AI in your class this Fall, offer an alternate way to complete those assignments and/or check with the Universal Design Center (UDC) about the accessibility of the tool you’ve chosen.

myCSUNsoftware Apporto Faculty Pilot

September 21, 2023

myCSUNsoftware is a Campus Quality Fee funded project that allows all students to have anytime access to a list of applications, from any Mac, Windows PC, Linux or mobile device with an internet connection. Without the need to purchase and install any of the applications on to their own devices, or travel to a lab that has the needed application already installed, students can utilize their course-related applications anytime, anywhere they have internet access.

As the infrastructure that powers myCSUNsoftware has been in use for a number of years, the industry has changed, which has warranted a review of alternative means to provide this solution. During the Fall 2023 semester, we are running a pilot of one such solution, Apporto, which is available to all students. This pilot is part of an effort to help us identify what is the best direction going forward for myCSUNsoftware, and we're looking for a few faculty who are willing to help us test it out. If you utilize any of the applications listed on our pilot website, in your classes, and you would be willing to provide us feedback of your and your student’s experience, please contact the Director for Cloud and Systems Services, Steven Ruiz.
