良好的实践
  1. Communicate regularly with your students.  Whether you're meeting during class time or conducting class asynchronously, set up regular office hours through 变焦.  While your plan will adapt as you go along, by the middle of this week (3/18) give students a sense of what's happening in the next couple weeks.  
  2. If you haven't done so yet, , practice setting up and running a virtual class session using 场所满足 or 变焦.  Get a colleague or family member to experiment with you.  分享这些 提示 for successful "college from 首页" with your students, or ask them to watch these videos about 变焦 etiquette.
  3. 使 Canvas your 首页 base for your course. From there you can link to other resources (e.g., YouTube, pdfs, 变焦 or Hangouts sessions). If you aren't currently using Canvas, contact support@fulyamsigorta.net for assistance or stop by the IT helpdesk on the main floor of the library (M-F, 9-11:30 a.m. 3-5分钟.m., Library Main Floor).
