Rank, Tenure, Promotion

Is anyone using Canvas for rank, tenure, promotion? We have been using a commercial product which is a considerable financial outlay as well as a substantial cost in human capital. We think Canvas could be a solution to the issue. We could ideally create the perfect template along with instructions and training for the faculty member. What do you all think? Is anyone doing this already?

@JulieChew1,

Can you provide more details about what you are hoping to accomplish?

We use Canvas to provide staff/faculty trainings. We also have our trainings connected to LearningStream as our Training Management Platform. This allows us to keep track of trainings that staff and faculty have completed. In addition, we have set-up pathways for them to earn different competency levels on our Pathways to Instructional Excellence (P.I.E.) based on the trainings they complete.

We also use Canvas to provide on-boarding training for new faculty to get them introduced to Canvas, teaching expectations, policies, and recommendations for teaching practices.

In addition, we create courses when a faculty member applies for a promotion in rank to use as a portfolio for the faculty member to submit evidence of meeting the standards for promotion and for the committee to review.

Late deduction without an interval
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
Language suggestion for groupassignments settings
Teachers often assume that because an assignment is a groupassignment, they will automatically grade it per group via SpeedGrader. With the option “Grade students individually”, they think they’re simply assigning the group grade to each individual student — without realizing that this option actually requires them to…
