Quick Tips & Resources for Getting Started

Specific CFDE advice about moving various activities online (lecture, discussion, group work, oral presentations, exams, etc.)
Use Canvas to post class overviews, PowerPoint presentations, links to readings, and quizzes
- Create a “Module” for each class you are moving online and title it with the class’s date
  - Post anything you need for that class below that module header (overview, discussion, Zoom link, assignment quiz, file, url etc.)
  - Do the same for each subsequent class
- See this Teaching with Technology handout (pdf) for quick how-tos for some basics in Canvas
Hold online discussions to check for learning, participation, and foster collaboration and community
- See Tips for Online Discussions (pdf)
Use Zoom for synchronous sessions
- Note: This shouldn’t be your only form of communication. Students may have not have access to fast-speed internet or always be available to meet at specified times due to their own restrictions
