Canvas Gradebook, Multimedia Studio, and New Faces in IS&T

New Canvas Gradebook

This summer, we released the New Canvas Gradebook. The new gradebook will allow you to more easily input and manage grades. There are several new functionalities in the gradebook that you will want to note. One new functionality is Late Polices which will allow you to automatically apply a specific grade for missing submissions (missing work) and allow you to deduct a specific percentage for each day an assignment is late (late work).



Another new feature is the option to change the status (none, late, missing, excused) of an assignment for a student. To change the status, click the gradebook cell next to the student’s name under the assignment you want to change and click the “Grade Detail Tray” icon.


There are several new and improved features available in the New Gradebook. To view them all, click the link to the New Gradebook Resources. If you have any questions, please contact the E-Learning helpdesk at x5201 or by emailing elearning@harding.edu

Multimedia Studio!





The Center for Learning with Technology is excited to announce the opening of the Multimedia Studio! The Multimedia Studio offers a Lightboard recording suite, which allows the recording of engaging lectures. It also houses a presentation studio, allowing recordings of PowerPoint lectures with voice-overs, or webcam presentations using Camtasia.


Professors and students may reserve times to use the Studio by contacting 1-501-279-5201. The Studio is located in the Administration building, second floor, in the 209 suite. Schedule a tour or visit us anytime! 

We want to thank Maren for his work in helping get the studio set up and the production of this video. Since making this video, Maren has moved to another organization. Thank you, Maren.
