Distance Education Tools & LTIs

SBCCD has a number of distance education tools and LTIs (Learning Tools Interoperability) that are paid for, which can be used by both campuses. However, there may be some that are only offerred by one campus or a specific department; these select tools are paid with campus or department funds and not paid by the district. No matter where the funding is coming from, though, the District DE Team is able to assit with training or implementing it into your Canvas course. 

The tools and LTIs list below are all ones that the district has paid for and that can be integrated into your course either through Canvas or through the program's website. If you do not see a specific tool or LTI on our list and would like for our district to consider purchasing it, please submit a request form on the Request Forms page. These tools detail Accessibility, Communication & Community, Content Building, Proctoring & Originality Checker, and Study Tools.


Accessibility

Canvas Accessibility Checker

Housed in Canvas's RCE, this checker is the icon found on the bottom of the page. Any accessibility errors found within the RCE will be flagged. Clicking on the icon will give you some guidance on how to correct the issue and let you fix right there.

Immersive Reader

Assistance with not only font size and reading the material aloud, but also a way for students to identify parts of speech, translate words/entire document, reformatting, and even enabling a picture dictionary.

Link Validator

Found in Course Settings, this tool will check all links within a course and report which ones are broken in need of being fixed.

PopeTech

Integrated into Canvas, this tool will delve deeper into checking for accessibility, provide more detailed suggestions, and examples on how to improve or fix the error.

TidyUp

Scan your entire course to check for unused files, unpublished pages, and remove empty folders. This will clean up the course, making copying and exporting the course quick, seamless, and compact.

UDOIT Cloud 3.0

Check the entire course for accessibility errors and provide guidance on how to improve that accessibility of the content.


Communication & Engagement

Flip

Added app to Canvas allows the creation of short videos to help with ice breakers and even small presentations. Available as a phone app as well.

Pronto

Texting service integrated in Canvas to allow for seamless messaging to one or all students in each course. Available as a phone app as well.

Starfish

Monitor student progress in your courses; send kudos for a job well done; raise a flag for any concerns on a student's academic success.

StudentConnect

Set-up Zoom office hours in one or all courses. Appointments can be scheduled for the entire semester; short or long; students can sign up for a day and time available that works best for them.


Content Building

3C Media Solutions

Funded by CCCCO, this site enables the uploading and storing of media, sharing media, requesting captions, assistance with streaming media, finding other media shared, event coverage assistance, and much more.

Canvas Studio

Integrated into Canvas, Studio allows for webcam, screen, or both recording features. Videos will remain in your Studio library for easy access and the ability to embed into specific courses. Additionally, videos can be edited prior to publishing and even include quiz elements embedded into the video. 

DesignPLUS

A design program that can be accessed in the RCE once training has been completed. This program revamps Canvas pages to make them more engaging, organized, and elaborate without knowing HTML. 

PlayPosit

A service where videos uploaded, created, or live recorded lectures can have added interactions where students have to answer questions, read notes, or provide feedback. All of this can be integrated as an assignment in Canvas which in turn is recorded into the gradebook.

TechConnect Zoom

The integration of Zoom into Canvas is now called TechConnect Zoom. This feature of Zoom is linked to your Zoom account with SBCCD. Due to this, class meetings established in Canvas will sync to the instructor's district Zoom account. Students can easily access their remote class meeting by selecting the TechConnect Zoom page in the Canvas course. Recorded lectures will appear here as well.


Proctoring & Originality Checker

Honorlock 1.3

Utilizing a Chrome extension, this proctoring service opens in Canvas Quizzes when enabled. Specific proctoring settings can be assigned to each quiz and the results recorded per student that can be reviewed by the instructor. 

Turnitin

Originality checker that reviews students's work to ensure that sources are cited, work is original, and even if AI has been used to create the assignment.
