Essentials for Remote Learning

With courses transitioning to remote instruction, we want students to be prepared. Instructors may ask you to participate in your course online, from submitting assignments, to watching lecture videos, to participating in discussions. Here are some resources to help you get familiar with the tools to complete the tasks.

Participate in Online Discussions

Discussions is a forum that allows course users to post and reply to threads online. You can subscribe to threads to receive notifications (by default, daily emails) about new replies.
