Honorlock Overview

Date: Wed, Aug 7, 2024
Time: 02:00 PM - 03:30 PM

Seats available: 67

Online proctoring tools lock down some aspects of a student's computer and use advanced machine learning, face-detection technology, and other metrics to ensure test integrity. To prepare for the session we suggest you look through Honorlock's best practices for remote test taking information.

Topics covered in this session include:

  • Is online proctoring right for my class? 
  • Setting up a Canvas quiz with Honorlock
  • Overview of Settings
  • Evaluating proctoring reports
  • Resolving accessibility and technical issues

Accessibility in your Canvas Course and UDOIT

Date: Wed, Aug 7, 2024
Time: 11:00 AM - 11:55 AM

Seats available: 62

A commitment to equitable teaching must extend to students with disabilities. In this session, we will discuss why you should not wait until you receive an accommodation request to design a learning experience that is inclusive of students with visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive disabilities. You will have an opportunity to practice identifying and addressing potential accessibility barriers in Word documents, PowerPoint slide decks, and Canvas pages. We will also introduce UDOIT Advantage, a tool for scanning your Canvas site, finding and addressing accessibility barriers, and even providing alternate formats for your course materials.
