We've almost reached the end of another semester! As we conclude another school year, take the time to reflect on your personal accomplishments (big or small) and what your goals are for next year! Some of you may be looking to close out the semester, while others may be ready to start preparing for future courses. To help prepare you for both, this newsletter will give you tips and tricks to tie up loose ends and prepare for those summer and fall courses.
This newsletter also contains information about our 2023 Award winners, information about where Digital Learning is moving to, and the most up-to-date YuJa Information and Workshops.

Digital Learning and the Center for Faculty Excellence are Moving to Criss Library!
Within the next couple months, Digital Learning and CFE will be moving into office space on the third floor of the library; however, the space isn't quite ready. With construction starting in the Eppley Admin Building soon, the Digital Learning team will be working remote this summer until our library space is ready; but don't worry, we are still here to help you:
As you prepare for your summer and fall terms, use the following resources to help you get started, especially the beginning of the semester checklist to make sure you're all ready to go!
Three times a year, the Office of Digital Learning awards grants for faculty to develop or improve the online delivery of one of their courses; the next approaching due date is for courses that are marked for spring 2024 course delivery.

We are less than two months away from our contract ending with VidGrid on June 30th, 2023. In preparation, YuJa has been swapping VidGrid links and videos with YuJa links and videos in all Canvas courses prior to the spring 2023 semesters. Note: there were a few small issues related to page names, captions, and thumbnail images when swapping out videos and links in courses prior to the Spring 2023 semester. Please select the more Information button below for additional details.
What's Still to Come?
Starting around May 8th, links and embedded videos in spring, summer, and fall 2023 courses will begin. We encourage you not to add any more VidGrid videos to Canvas at this point.
NOTE: If you have VidGrid videos created on web pages or outside of Canvas courses, you'll want to ensure you swap out the VidGrid videos before the end of June to ensure it is accessible for everyone. For help with how to access YuJa Links and Embed Codes, check out this YuJa Tech Tip Video.
