Survey the Situation
Take some time to study your new Canvas virtual classrooms. Consider the following:
- Will my class require specific hours of participation?
- Will I be asked to watch lectures in real time? If so, when will these lectures be held?
- Will the lectures be held on Canvas or another online platform?
- Have any of my assignments or due dates changed?
- Does my instructor have a virtual discussion area, and if so, what are the participation guidelines?
- Do I need to install any apps or programs that I don't already have?
- Did the instructor post a technology survey I need to complete?
