How do I learn online?

General

• Check your Canvas classes daily.
• Connect to your instructor and/or course librarian using the canvas messaging system.
• Respond to your instructor and/or your librarian promptly
• Communicate clearly, concisely, and respectfully
• Use the Calendar

Submitting Assignments

• Always save copies of your documents before uploading.
• Use a clear file structure so that you can find documents more easily.
  • Example: create a folder for each of your classes. All documents related to a class should go in the specific class folder.
• Use descriptive names for folders.
  • Example: PSY 201.40 is a better name than Homework.
• Use descriptive names for your files.
  • Example: PSY201 essay 2 - first draft
• For discussion board assignments, write your response on a Google doc. This way, if something happens, you will not lose your work.
• When uploading an assignment, don't close the window or the browser until you get confirmation that the assignment was submitted successfully.
• Did you  upload the wrong file? Click the "re-submit" button to upload the right one. Include a comment to explain why you have several submissions. (If your instructor does not allow multiple submissions, contact her and explain the situation).
