DotED Summer Refresh!

DotED has been upgraded to the most current Moodle release (version 3.2.2) for SU17. Improvements are focused on enhanced responsiveness, overall all performance, and user experience. All core activities and resources remain unchanged from the previous version. In addition, the theme has been refreshed to maintain currency with ArtCenter’s visual identity system.

Improvements include:

• New two-column layout that provides more space for video, images, and other media to be displayed in course sites.
• Quick access to important setting via the gear icon on the right side of the screen.
• Dynamic navigation menu throughout the platform.
• Refreshed interface for improved usability and mobile device compatibility.

All courses and accounts are automatically updated—you don’t need to do anything to activate the enhancements. Documentation has been updated to reflect the new system. Please contact us at dtl@artcenter.edu if you’d like assistance.

Digital Teaching Lab

The DTL Lab emerged from ArtCenter’s desire to explore new pedagogical models and support services through the use of technology. DTL South is equipped with a Mac Pro loaded with instructional design/multimedia software such as: Adobe Captivate, Camtasia, VoiceThread, Screenflow, and Articulate. We also have a scanning equipment and several tools to digitally record demonstrations and lectures* including an Elmo document camera and several iPad Pro tablets for use both in the space and on location.
