ACTT Extended Team Meeting Agenda for September 6, 2016

The new ACT Team process includes Extended Team meetings. These closed meetings allow the Team to work with expert staff and focus on evaluating solutions that inform recommendations.

Agenda

  1. Video Conferencing – Middlebury is investigating alternative video conferencing services for distance learning. Adobe will be discontinuing their education pricing for Adobe Connect licenses, doubling our costs. Services with comparable features are available with enterprise licenses at the same cost. – Mack
  2. Canvas LTI Governance – Middlebury is adopting Canvas, a Learning Management System developed and maintained by Instructure. Canvas has built-in features that support course activities in an online environment, like discussions, quizzes, and assignment submissions. Canvas also has an extensible architecture that allows for integration with other services. These services, commonly known as apps or LTIs, can be integrated at the course, program and service level. – Joe
