Hi, everyone-
A few quick items for this week’s DEEP thoughts.
1. Here is a really great CamRelay demo recording Ken Kulka did for us, since he was not able to attend the recent webinar as planned due to a family emergency. Don’t hesitate to contact him or I if you have further questions about using CamRelay to record videos/lectures.

2. I’ve had a few faculty asking me questions about the Canvas migration. One question was if this will effect Carmen Connect and any recordings there. The answer is no, these are different systems. CarmenConnect will continue as it is. ODEE has done a fairly recent upgrade to Connect, so you can now save recordings as mp4 files, which can then be edited as you need. It also seems the screwy bugs we kept running into are now fixed after they upgraded some server power last summer.
Another question I get is what training/support will there be in the move to Canvas. If your courses are part of a program that ODEE helped develop, they will take care of the move. ODEE will also be providing trainings to help all of us in moving any courses that are not part of such a program. Talk with your CFAES eTeam rep for more details. They can also get a Roadshow type of training scheduled for your department, where ODEE will come give you the training. I am also researching our options for possibly providing CFAES assistance for the migration. Stay in close contact with your eTeam rep as details unfold. I will also provide updates in this newsletter venue.
3. Our April CFAES eTeam meeting will be looking at marketing/communications aspects to help support our online courses/extension events and programs. Let me or your rep know of any specific needs you have in this regard.
4. One more thing I am researching with our CFAES teams is what LMS solution will best fit our needs for professional development and extension online courses. We’re looking at options within OSU, eXtension and a collaboration called Unizin. In CFAES we have a few teams ready to spin off online professional development modules from either live face-to-face extension workshops or from academic course materials. I’ll also keep you posted on this as we move forward.
