We Support the Following Technologies

1. CANVAS is SUU’s learning management system (LMS) instructors use for face-to-face, hybrid, and online courses. Canvas allows students to track their assignments and grades throughout the semester.
2. DESIGN TOOLS allows instructors to build courses in Canvas with a consistent design which improves the look, feel, and function of courses leading to increased student engagement in the course.
3. PROCTORIO monitors test-taking activities. Institutions, Faculty, and Students all have a strong interest in maintaining the integrity of exams. Proctorio monitors over 20 suspicious behaviors, so instructors can ensure exams are proctored fairly and impartially.
4. TURNITIN detects plagiarism in assignments submitted in Canvas with instructor activation.
5. KALTURA allows instructors to create video assignments and quizzes, recorded demos, professor introductions and feedback, and flipped classrooms from their offices. Video is making the classroom more personalized, accessible, accountable, and interactive. With Kaltura, instructors can pre-record lectures or demonstrations. Recording over PowerPoint presentations is available giving students a picture in picture viewing opportunity.
6. BIG BLUE BUTTON provides instructors a virtual location for asynchronous or synchronous sessions with their class, guest lecturers present to an online class, office hours over the internet, and even some web-conferencing. Recording is available but not required.
7. STUDIO97 provides a studio for instructors to record video introduction to courses, updates, summaries, and more. The ability to add text, or PowerPoints in the editing process is available. There is a “lite-board”, which is a glass whiteboard keeping the writing/drawing and instructor in the same screen during the video.
