We're exploring and improving technology every day
LMS Strategy
We are constantly evaluating and improving our learning management system.
Employee Learning
Currently, employee learning at Boise State is provided through myriad internal and external tools. Sharing information between systems is difficult if not impossible, so there is no single place where supervisors track whether their team members have completed required training. This initiative addresses these challenges by recognizing Canvas as a one-stop shop for all digital learning at Boise State.
Adaptive and Personalized Learning Tools
There is much interest about how analytics and adaptive technology can benefit both students and institutions. It is worth exploring how Boise State can adopt or develop such tools.
Re-evaluate Electronic Portfolios
There are multiple uses and applications of electronic portfolios. It is worth evaluating our enterprise offerings in this space.
Improve enterprise video
We are always seeking ways to optimize our enterprise video capture and hosting provider.
Improve course evaluation support
Our course evaluation system is supported primarily by OIT/LTS. There are opportunities for this to be used as a formative tool to reflect on and improve instruction.
Establish centralized model for captioning
We are exploring ways to improve captioning of instructional videos.
Improve Testing Scheduling System
We are continuously improving our Testing Center scheduling system.
Exam Proctoring Policies and Resources
We are continually developing and improving proctoring policies and resources to help clarify these things and inform our campus community.
Expand Wireless Presenting
Faculty members can promote wirelessly from mobile devices and laptops in some campus classroom spaces. We wish to expand the availability and use of this technology.
Provide training on Pressbooks OER platform for self-publishing
As part of Boise State’s open educational resource initiatives, we provide training and support of the Pressbooks application.
Testing Center Sustainability
The growth of academic testing has introduced now challenges to meet the demand.
Expand Certification Opportunities for campus community and beyond
To better serve our current, prospective, and former students, we will offer more professional certification opportunities.
Improve Support
We will improve the support of instructional technology at Boise State through various strategies including improving documentation, support workflows, faculty development, and learning management system templates.
