Overview
Discover the latest updates to Canvas and our Digital Learning Tools for Spring 2025. This article will be updated throughout the semester with new features and improvements, so check back regularly for the latest information!
Canvas
- NameCoach Added to the Default Template: Beginning Spring 2025, the NameCoach Roster tool will replace the People tab in the default course template. If you need the People tab or prefer to hide NameCoach, you can easily adjust these settings in Course Settings.
- Panopto and Zoom Hidden in the Default Template: To streamline the default course menu, Zoom and Panopto have been hidden by default. If you require access to these tools, you can re-enable them anytime through Course Settings.
- Optional UTSA Resource Links for Course Navigation: Faculty can now include quick links to the Library, Wellbeing Services, and the Writing Center in their course navigation. These links are not enabled by default but can be added through Course Settings for easier student access.
Simple Syllabus
- Addition of Optional Generative AI Component: The Spring 2025 Simple Syllabus template now includes an optional "Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI" component. Faculty should use this section to enter a statement that reflects how they expect students to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their course. View Sample Gen AI Syllabus Statements.
