As the semester is coming to an end, don’t forget about the Canvas Course Extension form. This form was created to allow instructors the ability to request a course extension in Canvas for student(s) that need to finish an Incomplete. This will extend the course only for the students indicated on the form. Instructors will need to complete the form for each course in which there are students that require extended access to finish an Incomplete.

Once the student’s access has been extended, keep in mind that you may need to go through your course to set some accommodations for assignments so that the student can continue to participate in them. This will depend greatly on what you have used but the basics is that you are looking to assign to them an extension of the dates they have to complete the assignment. In the example below, we have only one student “Evan Kelly” access in March to complete something that closed for everyone else on Feb 15.

Adapt 2022 conference banner

The Adapt Conference has always been about getting ready for what’s next. In the past, the Adapt conference has helped instructors prepare for online and technology-mediated content delivery. This year, Adapt 2022 will focus on our changing educational landscape and address all delivery formats (face-to-face, hybrid, hyflex, and online). Our classrooms are evolving with different student populations and new approaches to engagement. Join us as we learn how UNCG faculty are adapting to new delivery formats, overcoming pedagogical hurdles and using new technology options to create inclusive, meaningful experiences for our students. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with colleagues and engage in sessions such as:

  • An address by Provost Storrs on the Future of Teaching at UNCG followed by remarks from two teaching excellence award winners
  • Two roundtable discussions to reflect on the impacts the pandemic has had on teaching and learning and how we can best support students at this time
  • Five lightning rounds (themed series of 5 minute presentations) on topics ranging from student engagement to textbook affordability and technology in education
  • An interactive, in-person workshop hosted by a UNCG faculty member allowing instructors to learn about and participate in an exciting active learning strategy: team-based learning.
  • Nine 30-50 minute informational sessions addressing everything from trauma-informed teaching to the connection between intention and instruction and innovative teaching strategies in across delivery formats.
