Channel: Yale Poorvu Center
Date: 18/03/2020

This workshop will cover how Yale faculty can use Canvas and Zoom to continue teaching.

Canvas is Yale’s learning management system (LMS). This platform allows instructors to organize a course online. Canvas includes several features to facilitate online communication between instructors and students, in the event of a situation that prevents you from holding your class in person. Instructors can also use Canvas to upload assignments, quiz students, grade completed work, place readings on Course eReserves, and much more. Learn about Academic Continuity using Canvas.

Zoom allows you to set up a virtual classroom where you and your students can see and speak with each other in real-time. Additional collaboration tools, including video breakout rooms, screen-sharing, polling, and group chats help create a dynamic online learning environment. Instructors can record and post Zoom sessions so students can review the content at their own pace. Learn about Academic Continuity using Zoom.
