Your Canvas Profile as an Instructor Web Presence

Did you know that the ARC Online website (currently being developed) will list all ARC faculty who are teaching online, hybrid, and face-to-face courses? Your faculty information will come directly from your Canvas Profile. So, just by setting up your Canvas profile, you can have a more visible web presence here at ARC. Check out what a sample ARC Online Faculty page will look like and see how it will also connect to your current and future courses. Users will be able to go to the Faculty Directory to search for specific faculty members. Go to the Setting Up Your Canvas Profile document for complete instructions.

NEW! Plagiarism Detection tool

Turnitin to VeriCite
If you use Turnitin, you will want to watch this video. The District’s contract with Turnitin ends on June 30, 2017, and we are currently reviewing the OEI-endorsed plagiarism detection tool, VeriCite. This platform is comparable to Turnitin and is fully ADA compliant.
Watch this space for more information.
