essential tools and methods of remote teaching
Every course at CGCC has an automatically created Canvas shell that is linked to enrollments through SIS. Faculty can utilize the tools in Canvas to post lecture notes, presentations, links to library resources, and external web resources. Pages in Canvas can deliver static content while Assignments and Quizzes can be set up to conduct assessments online. Use Canvas Modules to organize content for the students in an easy to follow format.

reimagine your course material
Consider recording yourself delivering a lecture for your students and then upload it to Canvas for students to view. Free, easy to use software such as Screencast-o-Matic can be used to record and upload lectures or narrated slide presentations integrated into Canvas.
Another option is to find online videos that can be used to support your instruction. YouTube videos or videos from news sources may be embedded into Canvas.

CONDUCT ASYNCHRONOUS DISCUSSIONS
Post discussion questions or prompts and ask students to respond to them within a set timeframe. Canvas Discussions are an excellent option for hosting your class discussion. Students can upload documents or images to discussion boards or use the built-in media recorder to post their responses in video or audio format. Discussion boards can be graded through Speedgrader and can include a grading rubric.
meet online
Hold a live discussion or deliver a lecture during a synchronous class meeting using Cisco Webex . Cisco Webex supports both computer and mobile devices. Cisco Webex allows you to interact with your students in a virtual space where you can share your screen to show documents, slides, or web pages to your students. Cisco Webex Meetings can also be recorded.

helpful tools
You have many tools to teach online, and most of these tools are in Canvas. These tools can be synchronous and asynchronous. While synchronous tools can help you easily replicate what you do in the regular classroom, there might be content or activities that are better left in an asynchronous format, such as readings and discussions.
