How do I deliver my class lecture?
There are a combination of tools and techniques you can use to ensure that your students will receive the same high-quality learning experience online that you have traditionally delivered in the classroom.
Canvas
Canvas can be leveraged to help you centralize your course communications, announcements, discussions, assignments, quizzes, and other student resources. Think of your Canvas course site as your new virtual classroom. Canvas provides a wide array of tools, functionality, and documentation for you to transition your course online. We have organized this information on the link below, placing what we think will be most valuable to you during this process first.
Zoom
If Canvas is your new virtual classroom, Zoom is your new lectern. With Zoom you can connect to all of your students synchronously to deliver a lecture, individually for office hours, or create Breakout rooms to facilitate small group interaction. You and your students will be able to see and hear each other. You can share your screen to present your lecture. To use Zoom, you and your students will need a computer with webcam, a headset, and a stable internet connection. Zoom provides a variety of tools, for you to transition your course online. We have organized this information on the link below, placing what we think will be most valuable to you during this process first. Be aware that Zoom meetings can seem very long for attendees so consider keeping these sessions short (no longer than 90 minutes) and keep them interactive.
Pre-Recorded Lectures
Consider pre-recording your lectures and then posting them in Canvas. This is a good solution when you have a lot of information to impart and do not plan to have a lot of interaction from the learners. Students will then be able to watch them at their convenience.
