Communicating with Students about Virtual Office Hours

Office Hours Communication

Communicating with your students regularly just as you do in a face-to-face setting, will be imperative if the course is moved online for a period of time. We recommend posting information about your office hours along with your Zoom Meeting Link directly on each of your Canvas class home pages. You can also include this message in your e-mail signature and in your Welcome Letter.

To join your office hours, the student just needs to click on the link you provide. It will be the same link all semester. They do not need to download anything. Best practice is to ensure you have the "waiting room" feature on when you hold your office hours.
