For those who are new to online instruction, the MiraCosta DE Handbook section on Instructional Continuity includes an extensive table mapping activities that may have occurred in classroom settings to similar activities online, with links to various tools that could help to implement those activities online. If you're still in the throes of trying to figure out how to set up a class online that you've never taught that way, the table may help to inspire some ideas.

Although this Unit 0 has focused on four primary tools - Canvas, Zoom, Turnitin, and Studio - which are probably the most commonly-used at MiraCosta, there are additional tools you should at least be aware of. Each item below contains a link to the MiraCosta TIC resource page about the tool, which you are encouraged to explore thoroughly if you would like to learn more.

Respondus allows you to move Canvas quiz questions between Canvas and an external Word file. Unfortunately it works only on PCs, not Macs.
Proctorio is an online testing security tool, available through the CCC Chancellor's office through the fall 2020 term. It requires test-takers to use Chrome. It can be used for browser lockdown during testing, and it can be used for recording/analysis of test-taker actions/behaviors.
Camtasia and Snagit are software programs for screen capture and video creation. Snagit is a simple tool, while Camtasia allows for sophisticated video editing. MCC's license allows faculty to install these programs on their personal computers.
3CMediaSolutions is a website for use by any CCC faculty for storing and streaming video. It also provides professional captioning of video upon request.
PlayPosit enables more extensive types of quizzing/interaction within videos than Canvas Studio. It is a tool that MiraCosta has been piloting for some time, but as of summer 2020 is available to all MiraCosta faculty to use through a pilot of the CCC system.
Ally is a tool that automatically converts files uploaded by faculty into Canvas into multiple formats for students to choose from. This just became available through the CCC Chancellor's office, through the fall 2020 term.
