Canvas External Application Updates
Canvas @ Yale has some changes to our external applications available for faculty and student use.
PlayPosit End of Life
After careful consideration and evaluation of our educational technology tools, we have decided not to renew our PlayPosit license.
Users will have access and can continue using PlayPosit through the end of the Spring 2024 term (May 31st), but PlayPosit will no longer be available for access or use starting Summer 2024.
The decision to not renew the PlayPosit license was made after a thorough assessment of our current and future educational technology needs. We understand that this tool has been valuable in various aspects of teaching. We recommend exploring alternative solutions to fill the gap left by PlayPosit including VoiceThread, Panopto, and Perusall.
