- Create a schedule of assignments and activities students can complete online for the next 2 weeks.
- Identify any activities that won't work in the online environment and find an alternative if possible.
- Be flexible with due dates and deadlines but provide a structure students can follow while the campus is closed.
- Contact IMFacultyLab@howardcc.edu for help designing alternative activities.
- Double check that ALL of your upcoming assignments (for the next week or two) are on Canvas and published so students can access them from home.
- Use Student View to ensure students can access all of the necessary parts of your Canvas site.
- Click on links to make sure your linked content is still active and accessible.
- Scan, type or upload any additional materials that are not on Canvas so that students have access to them.
- Be consistent in where and how students can access these materials so they do not get confused.
- Click here to view a tutorial on how to use Student View.
- Post an announcement on Canvas and include the revised (if necessary) schedule for the coming weeks, a link to the Student Resources to Learn Remotely page, and a brief summary of how you plan to adjust the course to keep teaching while the campus is closed.
- Send a message through the Canvas Inbox with the same information to ensure students read this important information.
- Keep the tone of your message calm and positive and let students know they can contact you if they have any concerns.
- Create this as a video announcement if possible.
- Click here to view a sample announcement you can modify to send to your students.
- Create discussion board assignments on Canvas to encourage student-to-student interaction.
- Use Google Docs and Slides to allow students to work collaboratively on assignments.
