The university provides a few alternative options for faculty to utilize. Available tools are listed on the Digital Learning website (https://digitallearning.utah.edu/forms/request-lti.php).
Things to Consider
Consider the pros and cons of a different delivery option and how you can simplify quizzes and exams in your course.
- Can I alter my method of assessment to a more simple delivery?
- If you are primarily using paper-based, in-class exams is there any reason you are not able to recreate the exact same exam experience in an online Canvas quiz/exam?
- Could I convert an exam to a project based assignment that relies on demonstrating a competency rather than taking an exam that leans primarily on rote memory?
- Can any of my smaller low stakes exams be truncated or eliminated?
- Is this quiz/exam absolutely essential for me to meet the course outcomes?
- Can you combine quizzes/or exams?
- Can you reduce the number of questions to simplify the exam conversion process?
- Is it absolutely essential that this exam is proctored?
- Can you rely on Canvas quiz features to ensure quiz security?
- Is it possible to alter the questions to allow my quiz/exam to be open book?
- What resources do I have access to help me convert my in class exam to an online exam?
- Can TA's and/or student employees help me with my online course conversion?
- Do you have any colleagues that are familiar with Canvas and online teaching who could answer questions.
