5. Sisters with Transistors
Mark your calendars! On Thursday, Jan. 13, at 7 p.m. in Bryan Hall, BGSU’s College of Musical Arts will host a free public screening of the award-winning 2020 documentary "Sisters with Transistors."
This film tells the untold story of electronic music’s female pioneers who embraced machines and their technologies to utterly transform how we produce and listen to music today. From the unlimited possibilities of digital synthesizers to the recent analog recording revival; from the impossibly perfect pitch of Auto-Tune to the democratization of music-making for a generation of “bedroom” producers — each of these extraordinary developments is directly connected to the work and artistry of the women featured in “Sisters with Transistors,” including Bebe Barron, Delia Derbyshire, Maryanne Amacher, Pauline Oliveros, Wendy Carlos and Laurie Spiegel. The documentary will be followed by a talkback with composer Elainie Lillios, transnational cultural studies scholar Lara Martin Lengel, and musicologist Ryan Ebright.

The eCampus Teacher Training and Resource Guide is an asynchronous Canvas course created by the Center for Faculty Excellence and eCampus to help instructors think through aspects of course design and delivery for accelerated online teaching.

3. New Quizzes in Canvas workshop
“New Quizzes” is an updated assessment engine that integrates with Canvas and replaces the current quizzes functionality (Classic Quizzes) in Canvas. “New Quizzes” will be enabled for instructors to begin to familiarize themselves with the tool. There are new question types such as Categorization, Ordering and Hot Spots. Some other improvements you may notice include a more streamlined way to manage item banks and the ability to copy quizzes.
"Classic Quizzes" will be discontinued by the vendor in July 2022, at which time all assessment will need to be in "New Quizzes". We recommend that any new course assessments use "New Quizzes" beginning in July 2021.
