TILLING THE SOIL

Conferences in Canvas are a great way to conduct class with your students virtually. You can connect face-to-face, share your screen, and make use of the chat feature using the built-in conferencing tool, Big Blue Button.

PLANTING AND PRUNING

Conferences can be used to:

Connect with your students for online office hours or study sessions designed to help them prepare for a test.
Connect with your colleagues for professional development webinars.
Practice presenting online. Students can set up practice presentations in their student Groups.
Invite special guests to your classroom by adding them as a student or observer to your course.
Broadcast a live event or lecture to the students that can't be onsite.
