OneDrive Space Saving Features

After synchronising your files on your local computer with OneDrive, you can use the “Free Up Space” feature to reduce the space used up on your local hard disk. The files are still accessible on the cloud, and you can access them from other computers where you’re logged into OneDrive. This is especially helpful for computers with limited storage, or if you’re sharing files between multiple computers (i.e. on campus and at home).

CTLT Resource: Mid-course feedback (MCF)

Collecting informal mid-course feedback is an actionable way for faculty to get direct input during a course. With the shift back to in-person learning, instructors may want to gauge how students are doing with the transition. UBC’s MCF website provides information and support to gather this feedback—including quick tips, question guides and resources for implementation.
