Instructor inadvertently deleted all content; got panicked phone call.
Content is still on test server, which is always a few days old.
Documents were at:
https://uth.test.instructure.com/courses/9534/files#Clinical%20Seminar%20I%20%282151DHBS3202-100%29%2FCourse%20Content%2FPowerPoints
Option exists to download files in the folder as a zip.
Also, go to https://uth.test.instructure.com/courses/9534/content_exports and export course content. It creates a .imscc file but that's really a zip file. Download it, change the extension, and get the files and send them to the fat fingered instructor.

EvaluationKit install error
A Canvas subaccount administrator who should NOT have had permissions to install tools to other subaccounts, successfully but unintentionally installed EvaluationKit evaluation software to all account system-wide.
This has been reported to the vendor as a bug.
Remediation:
We will first re-attempt on test:
1. Confirm evalkit is not installed on uth.test (DONE, see email 3/30/15, 1:40 PM GEO)
2. Get guidance from the vendor on how to install evalkit in ONE subaccount only (DONE, see email March 30, 2015 2:31 PM Emin)
3. After following those instructions, confirm that evalkit is only appearing in that subaccount. (DONE, see email Mon 3/30/2015 2:48 PM GEO)
4. Document (that’s what we're doing this afternoon)
Production Remediation:
1. Remove system-wide installation
2. Confirm evalkit is absent from all subaccounts on on production
3. Follow documentation created above (step 4) to install correctly in production.
Documentation:
To install EvalKit in a subaccount:
1. Go to http://uth-tmc.evaluationkit.com, account, integration settings, LTI. Get Consumer Key, Shared Secret, and URL
2. Go to Canvas, subaccount, settings, apps, view app configurations, add app
3. Config type = manual
Paste consumer key, shared secret, url; name = EvaluationKit; privacy = public
4. Save. Tool will be available to that subaccount's courses only.
