帆布的会议

Canvas has a Conferences function that allows for instructors or students in a course to host a video conference. Three very important things to note when you’re setting up a Canvas Conference:

1. 在会议开始之前，你必须邀请与会者, so usually this means you’ll want to check the “Invite all course members” box in the conference set-up process (or make sure to invite only those members who should attend). You cannot add participants to the conference once you’ve started it.
2. 如果你想录制你的会议, which is a best practice if you’re holding synchronous sessions for your class, 您必须在设置过程中勾选“启用录音”. If you don’t, there is no way to record the conference once you have started it.
3. It’s best to check “No time limit” just in case your conference runs longer than expected.

You can see a demonstration of how to set up, run, and end a conference here: 使用画布会议/大蓝色按钮举办视频会议. See the next section on 视频录制 for how to record and post videos of your video conferences.

微软团队

For fully online synchronous video conferencing, you might decide to 使用微软团队 取代画布会议/蓝色大按钮.

OWL和Canvas会议的现场/在线会议

When you’re hosting and recording synchronous sessions 从 an on-ground classroom, you will need to 使用OWL单元, which you will launch through 帆布的会议, to conference with students attending virtually.

Making online courses and course materials accessible is important for students with disabilities, but it can also be helpful for students who are simply unfamiliar with online learning. 当学生在远处学习时, anything an instructor can do to make materials easy to navigate is helpful. 例如，添加 alt文本 to the images or graphics on your PowerPoint (or other Office) document is a great way to assist those with visual impairments, but aids processing of a video or understanding of an image or graphic for every student.

有一些简单的方法可以使材料更容易获得, 从 adding captions to a video to using the Headings function in Word, to embedding hyperlinks in the text (like you see below) rather than pasting in the URL as text. 快速了解如何增加可访问性, see the National Center for Disability and Access in Education’s page on 创建可访问的电子内容.

当你建立你的课程时，请阅读这篇文章 如何使您的课程格式在Canvas中可访问的指导 and review the links below to learn how to make the most commonly used file formats more accessible.

In order for students who have visual impairments to use e-readers to access online documents, you must use file types and features that are compatible with using a reader. Most file types can be made accessible – HTML, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF files, to name a few.

微软Office有一个 可访问性检查器 that reviews documents for accessibility issues and helps you to fix them.

你可能会在你的在线课程中使用各种各样的文件. 阅读以下概述 什么是文件，在Canvas术语中，并观看这个快速操作视频 上传文件.

我们建议建立尽可能多的课程元素, 比如活动和作业, 尽可能在它开始之前. 虽然这可能是一个耗时的过程, it will allow you to spend your time during the semester on things like facilitation and feedback.

• 在Canvas中创建学习成果
• 将结果与标准结合起来
• 在画布中创建分配
• 向赋值添加一个标题
• 在画布中创建讨论
• 在评分讨论中添加标题
• 在Canvas中创建测验或考试
• 给测验添加题目

录制会议

如果你主持一个Canvas会议, chances are you’ll need to record it for students who were not in attendance. How to save and share a video recorded with the 帆布的会议 tool.

在画布上录制其他视频

使用外部工具进行更长的录音

当你录制较长的视频时, 也许讲座, 用智能手机录制会更快, 你电脑的网络摄像头, 或者免费软件 Screen-Cast-O-Matic (如果需要屏幕截图)和 上传文件到YouTube帐户 rather than recording directly in Canvas. 你可以链接到你的视频从画布和, 就像油画, YouTube有一个字幕功能，以帮助访问. 要快速演示，请观看 使用Screen-Cast-O-Matic创建教学视频.

录制视频的技巧

• 研究显示 这是最好的 保持录音简短 in order to improve students’ ability to pay attention and comprehend the information, so find natural breaks in your typical lecture where you can segment content into multiple 迷你 or 微 讲座. Doing so also helps you to avoid recording fatigue or getting off track during a recording.
• 不追求完美! We make and correct mistakes in the on-ground classroom and we should feel comfortable doing so online.
• 准备 在录制之前，如果没有脚本，至少也要有一个大纲. 这样可以提高你记录的效率和效率, if you prepare a script it can be used to assist students with accessibility issues (for more information on how to make materials accessible, 请参阅本网站的“交付”部分).
• 对于较大的视频文件, 用智能手机录制视频会更快, 你电脑的网络摄像头, 或者免费软件 Screen-Cast-O-Matic (如果需要屏幕截图)和 上传文件到YouTube帐户. 你可以链接到你的视频从画布和, 就像油画, YouTube有一个字幕功能来帮助访问.
