Creator + and H5P<\/strong>
Creator+ and H5P authoring tools have been added to Niagara College\u2019s Brightspace environment. These additions add a variety of easy-to-use tools that will allow faculty to better organize, design, style, and customize their content, as well as providing many new ways to make it more dynamic and engaging for students.\u00a0
Together, Creator+ and H5P offer faculty a range of tools for designing and organizing more interactive content, including:\u00a0
– Callouts, jumbotrons, and stylized quotes to highlight important concepts, definitions, or information\u00a0
– Inline questions to easily add formative assessment into course content\u00a0
– Tabs and accordions to organize lists, processes, or comparisons\u00a0
– Flip cards, click and reveals, and hotspots to increase interactivity and engagement\u00a0
– Layouts to structure and organize course content\u00a0
– Interactive presentations, branching scenarios, and augmented videos to make course content more interactive\u00a0
– Word searches, memory games, and guess the answer to gamify student learning\u00a0
These new tools are now available in Brightspace through the content creation interface and the text editor. If you would like to explore the new tool options, you can review these resources on working with the new tools<\/a>.\u00a0
\u00a0
Brightspace Document Templates<\/strong>
Newly designed templates for sharing content are now available in Brightspace. These include easily selectable document templates as well as some elements not available in Creator+. These templates adhere to Niagara College branding standards and are an opportunity to easily and effectively arrange and design consistent and easily navigable course content. Information on starting to work with the templates can be found in the Brightspace Training Resources<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0


Newly created Brightspace courses will now automatically use the new document page templates. If you have been using and need access to the original document template pages, please email the CAE at cae@niagaracollege.ca<\/a>.
\u00a0
New Quiz Evaluation Experience<\/strong>
As part of ongoing updates to our system, D2L has recently launched the New Quiz Evaluation Experience in Brightspace. These changes are designed to optimize productivity and improve the quiz grading workflow for instructors.\u00a0\u00a0
The new quiz evaluation experience is being rolled out in two phases:\u00a0
Phase 1 (April 23rd\/24th)<\/strong>: The new quiz evaluation experience has been toggled on automatically when viewing student quiz attempts. An option to disable the new quiz experience can also be found on student quiz attempt pages. Doing so will revert the page view to the previous grading experience.\u00a0\u00a0
Phase 2 (June 25th\/26th)<\/strong>: The old quiz evaluation experience will be retired and the new quiz evaluation experience will become the permanent view in Brightspace for faculty and staff.\u00a0
This approach provides an opportunity for faculty and staff to become familiar with the new quiz evaluation experience through the spring semester. The only change for learners as a result of the new experience is that they will now be able to see evaluated rubrics for written response questions on the quiz results page. Additional details on the new quiz evaluation experience<\/a>, including features and how to toggle the experience off and on, are available in the Brightspace Training Resources<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
New and Updated Training Resources<\/strong>\u00a0
Brightspace Training Resources<\/a> continue to be added to and updated. Many resources now have updated information and style to improve their flow and navigability. Additional resources have also been added, including:\u00a0
– Creator+ Features and Instructional Design Best Practices<\/a>\u00a0
– NC HTML Template<\/a>\u00a0
– Working with Multimedia<\/a> (video guidelines, working with ClipChamp, and recording in PowerPoint)\u00a0
– New Quiz Evaluation Experience<\/a>\u00a0
– Creating Engagement and Recognizing Student Success<\/a> (badges and certificates)\u00a0
\u00a0
A Fresh Look for New Content Pages Even Without Document Templates<\/strong>
While apply Document Templates offers enhanced, NC branded styling, even if you choose not to use them you may still notice something a little different \u2013 and a little cleaner \u2013 about your content pages. That\u2019s thanks to a subtle but impactful update made possible by the addition of Creator+.\u00a0
\u00a0
What’s New?<\/strong>
Going forward, newly created content pages will automatically apply side margins that center your content on the page<\/strong> (see Figure 3). This small design shift replaces the previous flush-left placement (see Figure 2), bringing better visual balance and a more polished look to your content. It also aligns more cleanly with navigation controls and other page elements.\u00a0
\u00a0

Why it matters:
This change helps your pages feel more modern, spacious, and easier to read \u2013 even without using the document templates. And if you decide to explore Creator+, you\u2019ll find your pages are ready to make use of its enhanced features while still reflecting NC styles and colours.

As this transition nears its conclusion, we are reminding Stream users about the need to update any redirected video links and embedded video to which other college users need access.<br>\u00a0<br>As of August 21, 2023, all videos hosted on Stream Classic were migrated to <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=15ba09cc13&e=f37827fe90\">Stream (on SharePoint)<\/a>. During the migration process, links to videos on Steam Classic were redirected or re-pointed to same video in Stream (on SharePoint). However, redirect links that point to the migrated videos are only supported until\u00a0<strong>February 2025<\/strong>. After this date, migrated Stream videos linked or embedded from other locations, such as Brightspace, may no longer be accessible to students or other users.<br>\u00a0<br>If you have already relinked some or all of your migrated videos after the migration, you do not need to relink those videos again. If you have not yet relinked your videos, it is recommended that you do so prior to February 2025. While your Stream (on SharePoint) videos will remain available to you after this date, other users may not be able to access them. Updating video links prior to February 2025 will allow you to follow a simpler process than will be available after that date.<br>\u00a0<br>The CAE has created a comprehensive video guide to help you complete these steps in an efficient manner. This guide provides detailed instructions on how to access migrated videos in Stream and reshare them as needed. You can access additional information on the <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=9a08a4bc11&e=f37827fe90\">ITS webpage<\/a> as well as the video guide here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/8qjapTD37Rw\"><em>Updating Stream Migrated Video Links<\/em><\/a>.<br><br><strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Resources and Training\u00a0<\/mark><\/strong><br><br><strong>Upcoming Webinar Schedule\u00a0<\/strong> The CAE will be hosting a range of workshops through the Winter 2025 semester.

This template included the Course Information (Start Here) module as well as sample content modules and submodules.\u00a0The Course Information (Start Here) module included a link to the Course Outline lookup tool and a link to the Course Feedback Survey.

Students can also access their course outlines using the My Grades app on their portal.\u00a0<br>\u00a0 <br><strong>Navigation Bar\u00a0<\/strong> The navigation bar on the main organization page has been updated to include links to the Course Outline Lookup and the Course Feedback.

These links have been made available to students elsewhere in Brightspace (detailed below).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Course Feedback Survey Access<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Access to the course feedback survey tool is now available to all Brightspace users, including students, faculty, and appropriate staff, through a link in the Brightspace landing page and course navigation bars. This change has also been communicated to students.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Course Outline Access<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Course Outlines can now be accessed in a few different ways. Using the Course Outline link in a specific course\u2019s navigation bar will take the user directly to the outline for that course. All users can access the Course Outline Lookup using the link in the navigation bar on the main Brightspace landing page. Students can also access their course outlines using the My Grades app on their portal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Navigation Bar\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">The navigation bar on the main organization page has been updated to include links to the Course Outline Lookup and the Course Feedback. The navigation bars in courses have been updated to include links to the specific Course Outline, the Course Feedback tool, and the Attendance tool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>MS Teams Meeting LTI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">We are excited to share that there is a new, simpler way to create online Teams meetings within Brightspace.

The text box in the Add Link dialog also allows users to add text to their link. This provides users with a consistent workflow and control over how links respond in their content.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">The Add Link dialog opens when inserting links with the context menu or with keyboard shortcuts (for example, ctrl+K or command+K).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Additionally, the dialog includes a new Insert Quicklink option, allowing users to easily insert a quicklink. When using Insert Stuff > Insert Link or Insert Quicklink > Link, the same Link, Text, and Open In options are displayed ensuring consistent link creation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Finally, this feature updates the icons shown in Insert Quicklink to ensure all icons use the new style.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Quizzes – Improved experience for generating quiz reports | Updated<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">The April release introduces a better experience for instructors when running and exporting quiz reports with large amounts of data.

As an organizer, you can assign the role of co-organizer to someone in the meeting,\u00a0and they can also help screen questions as moderators.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Foffice%2Fq-a-in-teams-meetings-f3c84c72-57c3-4b6d-aea5-67b11face787&data=05%7C01%7CJEMARTIN%40niagaracollege.ca%7C5b784c883e894ada9e3308dacf227055%7C0edf0ac24bf04a8e90b2b3f527902fb9%7C0%7C0%7C638050044059767520%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=N4K66yZLrFkIXnBAZvQm60jo6cgoHCJmuMKsjzzfsmE%3D&reserved=0\">To learn more about adding Q&A to your Teams meetings, please view this Microsoft resource.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h4><strong>Microsoft Stream on SharePoint updates<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>In September 2022, faculty were invited to explore an early\u00a0access preview of a new version of Microsoft Stream.\u00a0This new version of Microsoft Stream provided added functionalities for video stored in Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint sites.

Future archiving dates can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=608814642e&e=f37827fe90\">ITS website<\/a> along with support resources to help you preserve course information and course recordings.<\/p>\n<h4>Added option to Blackboard Annotate “undo” and \u201credo\u201d capability<\/h4>\n<p>Many instructors enjoy the efficiency and effectiveness of using Blackboard Annotate when grading assignments with file submissions. With the addition of an “undo” and “redo” option, any instructor may undo a change and then if inclined, redo it. These added options can be found on the Blackboard annotate bar (see below). Please note, “undo” and “redo” will not apply to comments. All other annotations are included for this capability.<\/p>\n<h4>Unified Blackboard App<\/h4>\n<p>In the past Blackboard offered two separate mobile apps for engaging with courses: the Blackboard App (designed for student use) and the Blackboard Instructor App. This two-app system sometimes caused confusion for users. Blackboard has recently consolidated the two apps into a single app for both instructors and students. The user experience will change based on the user\u2019s role within a course.<\/p>\n<p>Support for the Blackboard Instructor iOS and Android apps ends in September 2022. If you currently use the Blackboard Instructor app, you should download the new Blackboard app for iOS or Android.<\/p>\n<h4>File Upload Indicator<\/h4>\n<p>Blackboard has added a file upload indicator to the following pages: Assignment Submission, Content Item, Discussion Board Thread or Reply, and SCORM. This indicator (three blinking dots) is meant to provide feedback to a user that the upload process is underway. You may, for example, see three blinking dots at the bottom of the page when uploading a file to a content area. Once the upload is complete, Blackboard will\u00a0automatically open a new\u00a0page and indicate whether the upload\u00a0was\u00a0successful or unsuccessful.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h3>Blackboard Collaborate Ultra<\/h3>\n<h4>Live data insights on engagement during the session<\/h4>\n<p>While teaching a session, it can be challenging for instructors to deliver the content, facilitate conversations, and be on top of the interest the attendees are showing.<\/p>\n<p>The Engagement Insights Panel is a tool companion for moderators that shows, with data, how the audience is engaging while the session is occurring. This tool can help moderators reflect on actions that may help keep or improve the engagement of a session. Faculty can see at-a-glance the most representative student interactions, such as the number of hands raised and the number of chat messages sent. To learn more about the types of data collected and displayed, please review this <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=506d184fab&e=f37827fe90\">Blackboard Help webpage that describes Session Engagement Insights<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Insights on recording usage<\/h4>\n<p>Data analytics from student interactions in Blackboard courses can inform faculty decisions around course delivery.<\/p>\n<p>With the new Recording Usage tab, faculty will get a sense of how their students are engaging with Collaborate Ultra recordings. The recording usage tab allows instructors to see how many students have watched and downloaded recordings, as well as the last time a recording was viewed or downloaded.<\/p>\n<p>The Recording usage tab is only available to course instructors and is conveniently located on the same Collaborate Ultra page where you can access saved recordings (See below).<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h3>Microsoft 365<\/h3>\n<h4>Faculty invited to explore early access preview of new version of Microsoft Stream<\/h4>\n<p>A new version of Microsoft Stream is now available for early preview with added functionalities for video. The current version of Stream will now be known as <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=6933d7b8ac&e=f37827fe90\">Microsoft Stream<\/a> or Stream (Classic) and the new version will be known as <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=60c1d97c81&e=f37827fe90\">Microsoft Stream Preview<\/a> or Stream (on SharePoint).<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about specific features that are currently available and what updates are expected from Microsoft, please view the Stream Preview information on the <a href=\"https:\/\/its.niagaracollege.ca\/microsoft-stream\/\">ITS website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We invite you to evaluate Stream Preview to determine if the current feature set meets your needs. Microsoft is building a migration tool and once it is ready, a retirement date will be set for the current Stream service. Further information on the migration of existing videos to the new platform and the retirement of Stream will be coming in future.\u00a0 For additional support on working with Stream Preview, please contact the Centre for Academic Excellence at <a href=\"mailto:cae@niagaracollege.ca\">cae@niagaracollege.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Teams Meetings: Co-organizer Meeting Role<\/h4>\n<p>After you’ve invited people to your Teams meeting, you can add up to 10 co-organizers to help manage your meeting. Co-organizers are displayed as additional organizers in the meeting participant list and have most of the capabilities of the meeting organizer. Please see the chart below for more detailed specifics around the capabilities of co-organizers in Teams meetings.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Co-organizers can:\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Co-organizers can’t:\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Access and change meeting options<\/td>\n<td>Manage the meeting recording<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Become a breakout room manager<\/td>\n<td>Remove or change the meeting organizer’s role<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bypass the lobby<\/td>\n<td>Change meeting options during channel meetings.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Admit people from the lobby during a meeting<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lock the meeting<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Present content<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Change another participant\u2019s meeting role<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>End the meeting for all<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>To learn more about adding co-organizers to your Teams meetings, please view this <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=47169600fe&e=f37827fe90\">Teams co-organizer <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=5f16320435&e=f37827fe90\">support page<\/a>. Note, co-organizers can also be added to Teams meetings created through the Outlook calendar.<\/p>\n<h4>Presenter Modes<\/h4>\n<p>With the addition of presenter modes for the downloaded Teams app, faculty and staff can choose to appear alongside screensharing visuals. By using a presenter mode such as Standout, Side-by-side, or Reporter in a Teams meeting, you become a more engaging and integral part of your presentation. In this scenario, you can choose to guide an audience along with visual cues or increase student engaged through the presence of your video. To learn more about utilizing presenter modes while screen sharing in your Teams meetings, please review this <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=80de0e8c74&e=f37827fe90\">Microsoft presenter modes support page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Adjust Brightness video filter<\/h4>\n<p>Enhance the quality of your video feed when lighting is poor by turning on the Adjust Brightness filter in Device Settings before joining, or during a Teams meeting.

With over 55 articles, checklists, and videos that were developed for Niagara staff and faculty by Niagara staff and faculty, the Hub helps to simplify an essential aspect of effective teaching \u2013 creating learning opportunities that are fully accessible to the broadest possible group of people. If you have any questions about integrating this resource into your course site, feel free to email <a href=\"mailto:cae@niagaracollege.ca\">cae@niagaracollege.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Quality and accessibility improvements for math formulas (Blackboard)<\/h4>\n<p>Faculty often use math formulas in science, technology, and math courses. In the past, formulas might render slowly or lose quality when zoomed. Now, Blackboard will render math formulas as images in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. This allows users to zoom in or enlarge formula images without losing quality. This change also improves accessibility for users with low vision.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Questions and Feedback<\/h3>\n<p>If you have any questions about how these updates may affect your Fall course, do not hesitate to reach out to the Centre for Academic Excellence.

Tech Digest (Winter 2022)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The Centre for Academic Excellence is piloting the release of a quarterly digest to share updates or changes to core technologies used for teaching and learning at Niagara College. The digest was created to provide faculty with information and resources to support their use of educational technologies.<\/p>\n<h3>Blackboard Updates<\/h3>\n<h4>Integration between breakout rooms in Blackboard Collaborate Ultra and groups in Blackboard course sites<\/h4>\n<p>Start breakout groups in Blackboard Collaborate Ultra with the groups created in your Blackboard Learn course site. Use your existing course groups to create breakout groups in advance and save time in synchronous sessions. Build on existing student collaboration with established groups.<\/p>\n<p>With the Collaborate and Blackboard Learn integration, students can stay in their same group for breakout sessions without extra work for the instructor. In the Collaborate session, the instructor can also enjoy some flexibility and adjust groups as needed without impacting the groups in Learn. For example, an instructor could balance groups among attendees if some groups had more or fewer participants than others. When you <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=7b8d89241d&e=ced86d38f5\">start a breakout group<\/a> in Collaborate, go to the Assign Groups menu and select Course group set. Choose the set of groups you want to use and start the breakout session.<\/p>\n<h4>Adjust recording playback speed for Blackboard Collaborate Ultra recordings<\/h4>\n<p>More and more students are using recordings to review course content and catch up on missed sessions. With that in mind, and based on student feedback, anyone can now adjust the speed of Blackboard Collaborate Ultra recordings to suit their viewing needs.<\/p>\n<p>With this feature, viewers can choose between a range of speeds (0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25, 1.5, 2x) to playback recorded video.<\/p>\n<h4>Archiving Blackboard Collaborate Recordings<\/h4>\n<p>Starting January 17th, 2022, ITS will be archiving Blackboard Collaborate recordings as a part of our Blackboard Course archiving process <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=3900d17794&e=ced86d38f5\">announced earlier this year<\/a>. The criteria used to determine which Collaborate recordings to archive will be the same as the existing course archiving process. Any Collaborate recording contained within a course that has a term end date greater than 395 days old (one year plus 30 days) will be flagged for archiving. This change will impact recordings associated with term 1204 (Fall 2020) forward. Recordings made prior to 1204 (Fall 2020) will not be impacted.<\/p>\n<p>Upcoming archiving dates:<br \/>\n\u2022 Courses and Collaborate recordings from term 1204 (Fall 2020) will be disabled and archived on Jan 17th, 2022.<br \/>\n\u2022 Courses and Collaborate recordings from term 1211 (Winter 2021) will be disabled and archived on May 23rd, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Future archiving dates can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=b1ca0d1df4&e=ced86d38f5\">ITS website<\/a> along with additional archiving related resources.<\/p>\n<h3>MS Teams Updates<\/h3>\n<h4>Host more accessible class meetings and record more accessible course video, including auto-captions and transcripts, via MS Teams online meetings.<\/h4>\n<p>Microsoft has recently made changes to the process for hosting more accessible meetings and recording accessible video in Teams. Faculty can expect a more streamlined process and easy options for auto-captioning and transcript creation during MS Teams meetings and in any associated recordings. To learn more about this recording update, review the <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=29ad26cfa3&e=ced86d38f5\">Recording and Sharing Accessible Video with MS Teams<\/a> resource.<\/p>\n<h4>Microsoft Teams: View switcher<\/h4>\n<p>The new view switcher in the top bar of a Teams meeting allows participants to control how they prefer to see the meeting content. Choose between Together mode, Focus, Gallery at top, and Full screen. <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=7b77fddad7&e=ced86d38f5\">For more detail on customizing different views, please visit this website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Microsoft Teams: Press to unmute<\/h4>\n<p>Meeting participants can temporarily unmute by press Ctrl +Space (Windows) and Option + Space (macOS) to speak.<\/p>\n<h4>Microsoft Teams and Forms: Word cloud for polls in Teams<\/h4>\n<p>When Faculty have collected responses for an open text poll in a Teams meeting, word cloud data insight will be available to help them get a quick view of the top text phrases shared by participants.<\/p>\n<h4>Moderator support added to breakout rooms<\/h4>\n<p>Microsoft has added the ability for a meeting organizer to extend the management of breakout rooms to others in the meeting who are listed as “presenters”. This change would better allow student presenters or those leading an activity to manage breakout room specifics for the duration of a meeting, including the capability to:<br \/>\n\u2022 Add and delete rooms<br \/>\n\u2022 Assign and reassign participants to rooms<br \/>\n\u2022 Open and close rooms<br \/>\n\u2022 Join any rooms<br \/>\n\u2022 Set time limits for room sessions<br \/>\n\u2022 Send announcements<br \/>\n\u2022 Recreate rooms<br \/>\nPlease visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=273652f5f9&e=ced86d38f5\">MS Teams moderator page<\/a> to learn more about this feature.<\/p>\n<h3>Questions and Feedback<\/h3>\n<p>If you have any questions about how these updates may affect your Winter course do not hesitate to reach out to the Centre for Academic Excellence. Email us at <a href=\"mailto:cae@niagaracollege.ca\">cae@niagaracollege.ca<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=281e58d5db944caa7e91d78eb&id=1b26e0f471&e=ced86d38f5\">book an online consultation<\/a>.\u202f As always, we are very interested in hearing your feedback.
