OneDrive issues from our Classroom PC’s

Greetings, CAHS!

Currently, we are experiencing an issue with our end users unable to retrieve their files directly from their OneDrive on their desktop when using any of the classroom computers. When OneDrive is selected from the file explorer area, your folder will state “This folder is empty”.   See image below.  This is a known issue and ITCS is working to resolve this issue.

As a work around, you will need to access your OneDrive using any office application such as Word, PowerPoint, Teams, or Excel etc.  If you open up PowerPoint for instance and then browse to the OneDrive you should be able to access all of your files.  See image below.  Thanks so much for your patience. I will update everyone once the issue has been resolved.

Best Wishes!

Panopto microphones (Please read)

Greetings everyone,

Broken-mic GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

Happy first day of Fall semester!  As you can imagine, it’s pretty busy in my neighborhood 😊.  In efforts to make sure that our Panopto recording system is capturing your lectures properly, I wanted to send out a few reminders.

  • Remember to turn your portable microphones “ON”.  For my newbies, the blinking light will flash GREEN when it is on and RED when it is muted.
  • If you notice that the audio in your recordings are low, let me know and I can adjust the volume on my end.
  • Please remember to place your microphone back on the charging base so that the next class will have audio.
  • Lastly, I will let the classroom phone ring twice and that is a reminder that your microphone is not on.

Just in case there is someone new I have instructions below.

  1. Activate the in room audio system by pressing the Crestron Panel.  This MUST be done as it activates all audio systems within the room.  Turn your microphone on.  Press the button on the front of the microphone until the green light comes on.  Clip the microphone to your lapel.
    1. If we do not hear audio from your mic we will call the room you are in and let the phone ring 2 times which is a reminder for you to check that audio is on.

If you have any issues or questions regarding our portable microphones, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.  I appreciate each of YOU! Thanks in advance for enduring my emails this week.

Please stay safe and have an incredible day!

“When December comes, don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the GREAT.”  ~Unknown Author

First day of class 8/21/2023

Ncaa Baseball Ecu GIF by East Carolina University

‘Twas the weekend before classes start

And all through the house

The instructors were stirring over their Canvas courses and Panopto recordings with their computer mouse.

All the names and assignments had been written in Canvas with care

But did they forget one?

Oh good, nope everything and everyone is in there!

New curriculum, new recordings, new assignments too.

New directions, new students their nervousness grew.

Hoping their students would all just as excited too.

The faculty member couldn’t help but think “did I complete my Panopto Recording request too”?

Kym giggled when she saw of their fright.

So she reminded them to hurry, get your Panopto recording request in so things will not be so tight.

Now that it’s time and things are finally done

Enjoy your weekend, RELAX and have some FUN!

Game time is Monday! I am looking forward to an amazing and busy Fall semester.

Best Wishes!

Make a Hidden Panopto Recording Visible to Students

Greetings, CAHS!

Many of you have requested that your past course recordings be “hidden” from your students until you are ready to release them.  Here are some handy instructions to use when you are ready to release the recordings.  If you would prefer for me to release them, feel free to send me an email when you are ready for the recording to be released and I will take care of it for you.  See attached document.

If you have any questions, as always please do not hesitate to reach out to me. 

Make a Hidden Panopto Recording Visible to Students

Instructors can make hidden Panopto videos available to students on a video-by-video basis.

To make an individual Panopto recording available, click the “Panopto Recordings” link on the left sidebar of your course Canvas site. [1]

Once you are in the Panopto Recordings page, find the recording you want to make visible. It should have text underneath the title and date that reads “Not available to viewers.”

Hover your mouse over the recording, and a few buttons will appear. Click the “Settings” button. [2]

Scroll to the bottom of the window that pops up, and change the session availability to “now.”

Note: To make a recording invisible again, click on the “Settings” button again and change the availability to “with its folder (never).”

Best Wishes!

Media Consent Release Guidelines

Greetings, CAHS!

With Fall semester being right around the corner, I figured I would send out our Media Consent and Release Form in the event any of our faculty may need it.   Please see the attached form.  For those that are not familiar with our Media Consent Release Guidelines please feel free to visit the following site for more details.

From our Multimedia site:  Several ECU technologies allow video and audio recording of class lectures, guest speakers, students and patients through still portraits, images, name, likeness or voice (virtual reality project, for example), as part of, or in conjunction with, an ECU class, project or promotional opportunity.

The ECU Media Consent Release Guidelines (see attached pdf file) clarify when written prior permission is required and other considerations. ECU needs to be able to demonstrate that it has permission from participants to include them in electronic media.

A signed Media Release form is required when:

Recording a lecture or class

Recording guest lecturers, interview candidates or others

Recording PK-12 students in conjunction with a class project (both ECU students conducting the project and the parents of each student in the recording must have a media release form on file)

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Past Recording Location in Panopto

Greetings, CAHS!

I am in the process of completing the Fall recording request.  If you have requested access to past recordings for your current course, please see the image below of where the past recordings will be stored within Panopto.  If you would not like for your past recordings to be viewable to your students until you release them please let me know.  I will change the viewing access.   Thank you all!  As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Faculty with signed contracts (!)

Greetings, CAHS!

This information is for any of our departments that will have incoming new faculty.  If a faculty member has signed a contract already with ECU and they need access to Canvas they can submit a ticket to Canvas Support to have access as an unpaid affiliate. Then when their actual contract starts, their access will change to the standard faculty access.

This is the link to submit the request.

https://ecu.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/1409/Portal/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=31595

Hoping this helps.

Please stay safe and have an incredible day!

AI (Artificial Intelligence) enters the classroom….

It certainly looks like magic, but is it??

Greetings, CAHS!

I am sure with the increasing discussions about Artificial Intelligence, ChatGPT, ChatBots, and more you are probably even more curious to learn how this will affect our campus currently and in the future.   Per Wendy Creasey, there are faculty all over our campus that are integrating information about Generative AI information into their courses here at ECU.   As we embark into our Fall semester, I wanted to send out more information that may help provide more insight in the event our students are curious as to how this will affect them.

Below are some resources that are available to you via Library Services.   Click HERE to view.   This guide will serve as an evolving repository of definitions, uses, and resources related to the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLM) in the classroom and in research.

As always, if you have something you would like to share with our office, please feel to send me an email or schedule some time with me to discuss.  Have an incredible week!

Dominate Inbox Spam

Greetings, CAHS!

I recently read an article about spam in our ITCS newsletter.  Take a peek at what they had to share.  If you are having issues with receiving tons of spam, please don’t hesitate to reach out too me.

We are all aware of how to manage phishing email, but spam messages are tricky – most are marketing solicitations and not malicious. Some may even be interesting or useful. But do you find yourself spending precious, productive energy managing your inbox or do you just ignore the whole mess until it’s an obnoxious monster?

If you’d like a better way, read on for a process to save time and at least help manage – alas, not eliminate – non-work communications.

  1. Once or twice a year, manually UNSUBSCRIBE from marketing emails you no longer read. There should be a link at the bottom of each message.
  2. As you receive them, block senders and route unwanted mail to the Outlook junk folder. Future messages from that address go to the junk folder, not your inbox. NOTE: Occasionally, legitimate messages are sent to junk. Right-click to unblock.

Desktop Outlook

Mobile Outlook


Outlook Online

  • Outlook desktop app. Highlight an email and click Junk in the Delete menu (top) to block the address.
  • Mobile Outlook. Click the ellipsis at the top of an open message to report as junk.
  • Web email. Click the Report option of any highlighted or open email.

Unsubscribe and reporting junk are not the only tools available to manage the daily inbox avalanche. However, using these features removes many messages going forward so you spend less time managing (or ignoring) email and more time on more important work.
