Technology's Effects on HU Since 2010




Moving Canvas Content


Did you know it’s easy to move your Canvas content from one semester to the next, and it will even change due dates for you?

To move content, you will need to first go into the future course. This course should be empty. Once in your future course, click Settings on the bottom left and then Import Course Content




Then you will change the Content Type to Copy a Canvas Course, find the course and select if you want to move All content or Select specific content from the course. The last option is Adjust events and due dates, and then select Shift dates. If you select this option, Canvas will automatically adjust the due dates associated with any course events and assignments. Canvas will look at the new start and end dates and distribute all the assignments as evenly as possible across the course dates. Here is the Canvas tutorial: How do I adjust events and due dates in a course import to give a more detailed look into the adjust events and due dates option. Once the import is complete, it will show Completed under Current Jobs. I would then suggest going back to Settings in your course and clicking Validate Links in Content to search your Canvas course for any broken links.


If you have any questions on moving your content, please contact the E-Learning helpdesk by emailing elearning@harding.edu or calling at x5201.





IS&T People Giving Thanks 


We asked the people in IS&T to tell us some of the things they are most grateful for about working at Harding; here are some of their answers:


Family and the opportunity to grow professionally and spiritually.
My co-workers
The first thing that comes to mind is the opportunity to become personal friends with accomplished thinkers/scholars who are ALSO serious about their faith. Some of the folks I work with--however tangentially--have refreshed my soul simply by being themselves. I'm deeply grateful to God for allowing my life to intersect theirs.
My supervisors always put Jesus above job
I am thankful for the financial assistance and encouragement Harding provides for pursuing more education.
I am most thankful for the Christian atmosphere all over the campus. I love seeing the smiling faces of everyone, and know that God could use me to make a difference in the lives of those around me.
All the people I get to work with.
I enjoy the focus on faith and family. Being able to bring my daughter to my office after school is a wonderful opportunity for her to be around fellow Christians who are working and love the Lord.
A good environment, with good people to work on things for the greater good
The people I work with.
I'm thankful for Godly leaders like Dr. McLarty, the Administrators and the Board who strive to keep Harding true to her mission so we can influence the world for Christ.
All of my wonderful co-workers!
The people at HU: a wonderful student body, faculty, and staff. (Polite, friendly students; a flexible, understanding boss; and dedicated, hard-working faculty and staff co-workers.)
A beautiful, well-kept campus that invites me to take a walk
Students that care about what kind of an education they seek.
Thankful for the opportunity to get to know students and form a relationship with them that carries on past their time at Harding.
My week off at Christmas.
The wonderful people I get to work with across many departments.
The spirit of living and working as Christians together
The respect, humility, and willingness to help that is exhibited daily by the staff.
If "thing" means non-person then I would have to say the industrial coffee maker. ;)
The Christian work environment that has an eternal mission.
Tuition discount!
That we are moving in the same direction--living and working for God. It is such a blessing to share that with those around you.


Happy Thanksgiving from all of IS&T!
