Links from my Video:
- Need Help with resolving incomplete grades in Blackboard or Canvas? Fill out this form to get help
- Instructions for scheduling your Zoom meetings in Canvas
- Link to IETL Den with teaching resources
Would you like to know how to create a video like this for yourself? It was super-easy and you can also do this as a layer within a Zoom meeting, which may be quite helpful for all of you who will be teaching via Zoom this fall. Here’s a quick tutorial for you to learn how.
Sincerely,
Jana Remy
