Share
A Message from Geni Wright, Director, Online Teaching and Learning
As we’re transitioning to online learning, we have some new Canvas resources to assist you.
Zoom and Canvas are Now Integrated and Available to all Students and Employees
Valencia College now has a contract with Zoom, an easy cloud platform for video and audio conferencing, collaboration, chat and webinars across mobile devices, desktops and telephones. This is an alternative option to using Skype for Business for video and audio conferencing. Zoom is now available to students and employees and integrates with Canvas.
Bringing Your Classroom to Canvas
The College provides a variety of ways to engage with students in Canvas using discussions, Zoom and conferences, as well as other tools. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, it is more important than ever to take advantage of the tools we have at our disposal to help ourselves and our students.
