EvaluationKIT

EvaluationKIT is UNL’s student learning experience survey (I.e. course evaluation) software that is used across all colleges for undergraduate and graduate coursework. While a common set of core questions is asked at the end of the semester, you college may also allow you to add custom questions or a mid-semester survey. You can read more about EvaluationKIT on the Office of the Vice Chancellor website<https://executivevc.unl.edu/academic-excellence/teaching-resources/course-evaluations> or read about EvaluationKIT on UNL’s MYSURVEYS page<https://mysurveys.unl.edu/evaluationkit>.

You will choose “Enable Auto-Transcription” unless you have a transcriptionist. Keep in mind that the default settings for live transcription is to allow participants to download and save the transcription file at the end of the meeting. You can turn this off by going to unl.zoom.us, logging in with your UNL credentials, Settings > Meeting > In Meeting (Advanced) > toggle “Save captions” to off.

Canvas Commons

Did you know that UNL has some resources on the Canvas Commons for you to get content from? The content ranges from assignment setups to student help pages. You can import them to your courses as a starting point for your own tailored materials for your courses. For example, you can get a module overview page (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lor.instructure.com/resources/a281db1c7aa24563b8670f8a652648ae?shared__;!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p-tU!WAgzP9fwYmuvcgnbeeWKhu35fnZsiq3LMpNo-p781KkppJ_ySnoXU_dVDH1tmumDx2Ecjg$ ) or a tabbed content page (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lor.instructure.com/resources/9837cb6acba341ebb257b7c41ea325f1?shared__;!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p-tU!WAgzP9fwYmuvcgnbeeWKhu35fnZsiq3LMpNo-p781KkppJ_ySnoXU_dVDH1tmukunbb4Pg$ ).

Canvas course grading scheme

In Canvas, you can enable a course grading scheme for each of your courses to give students the ability to easily see what letter grade is associated with the Canvas grade percentage. To begin adding a grading scheme to a course, go to settings (left menu) > course details (tab) > select the box next to “enable course grading scheme” about halfway down the page.
