Extending Canvas - Oxford's In-House Tools
This talk will introduce some of the learning & administration IMS LTI tools developed for Canvas at the University of Oxford.These tools were developed in order to
- extend the functionality of Canvas to match some of the capabilities of the University’s previous VLE
- make common tasks carried out by departmental administrators and course leaders easier to manage.
The tools address calendaring, managing sections, tutorial / seminar ‘sign-up’, end-of-year course rollover, user management, sub-account navigation, module navigation and RCE editor plugin to aid with page authoring.Brief ‘demos’ of some tools will be given plus information about the open sourcing of a selection of the above. The talk will not be overtly technical but will include a brief behind-the-scenes tour for those who are interested in that sort of thing!
