Designing Powerful Learning Experiences with Top Hat

Kaltura retained as video platform for WebCampus

After careful deliberation as part of the RFP process, the University will retain Kaltura as the platform which provides video functionality within WebCampus. Our new licensing allows for auto-captioning of all content and better content management capabilities. Stay tuned for more information and capabilities to be rolled out later in the term and over winter break. Faculty can contact ODL with any questions, additional information, or support needs. 

Student Response System – Top Hat pilot program

We are now officially in the first year of the centrally-funded pilot program with Top Hat. The pilot program gives the University a 2-year enterprise license, which means that all faculty and instructors are able to use this tool and there will be no cost for students.

Faculty are now able to fully utilize Top Hat in their courses. For tutorials and information, please see our Student response Systems page.
