When you create a Zoom meeting in your Canvas course, the meeting information is automatically sent to your students' Canvas email and added to their Canvas Dashboard and course calendar as a task to complete.
In addition to this, you can add templates to your Canvas course to provide guidelines for how students can access your Zoom meetings. To use Zoom Student Guides in your Canvas course, email learningdesign@uclaextension.edu to request that they be added.
Announcement
In the Announcements area of your Canvas course, you can post the “Guidelines for Joining the Online Zoom Meeting” announcement.
To use this announcement:
- At the top right side of the announcement, click Edit.
- Uncheck the Delay posting checkbox or change the Post At date of the announcement.
- Click Publish.
Page in Your Modules Area
In the Modules area of your Canvas course, you can also add the “Joining the Live Zoom Meetings” page for students. This page walks students through the step-by-step process of joining meetings, testing their internet, audio and video settings, and more.
