00:00:00:00 - 00:00:34:19 Unknown To first of all, again enter your charter college email and click next. Then the password that you were provided. At this point, you'll have to pass through two factor authentication. This is an extra layer of security that uses your cell phone to verify your identity. After entering your phone number, you're presented with two options text me a code or call me. 00:00:34:21 - 00:01:03:14 Unknown We recommend the call me option since it has fewer steps, and you will only need to press pound. The call you receive should sound like this. You. Using the Microsoft Sign and Verification system, please press the following key to finish your verification. You're signed in with successfully verified. Goodbye. Once you have been verified. Click next. Done and then stay signed in. 00:01:03:16 - 00:01:35:02 Unknown Of course, this is only recommended if you're using a personal computer that's not public. The next screen you see is the dashboard for all of your online courses. To access them, navigate to the toolbar on the left and select the book. Let's take a look at what you'll see inside of the course. If we begin on the homepage, you can see the course title, its description and links so that you can jump directly into that week's lesson. 00:01:35:04 - 00:02:03:22 Unknown Here you will find your instructor's contact information, and you'll also notice these resource icons down here at the bottom. Most of these will be the same for any course you take here at charter. The one difference is going to be the first one the homework grid. When you click here, you'll be prompted to download a file that is unique to each course and is a quick reference for what you'll be doing and how long each section of the course should take to complete. 00:02:03:24 - 00:02:27:14 Unknown The remaining icons will direct you to other locations that should be useful during your course. This includes access to vital source for your readings. Examples of source citation for writing papers, as well as how to access your student portal in the library. Feel free to explore all of these when your course first begins. 00:02:27:16 - 00:02:50:11 Unknown Next, if we look at the navigation bar, you'll find links to each part of the course that you can navigate to at any time. But what started the syllabus? The first thing you want to do here is to click and download the file. Not only will it tell you about the reading materials, but it also lists the course objectives, topics, and grading criteria. 00:02:50:13 - 00:03:18:08 Unknown And just like any traditional class you might have taken. It's always a good idea to keep the syllabus close at hand because you never know when your instructor may reference it. Looking below, there's a course summary for what will happen over the next five weeks. And while these links are clickable and you certainly can use them to navigate, it's probably not your best practice since it does not include point totals or indicate progress. 00:03:18:10 - 00:03:43:15 Unknown If we move over to the announcements page, this is where your instructor will post various messages to the class. Be it introductions or general reminders. These might show up at the beginning or end of each week, and it's always a good place to sort of check in whenever you log in to canvas. Coming up next is the modules page, which really is your home base inside of canvas. 00:03:43:17 - 00:04:12:01 Unknown This is where you spend most of your time because it's what contains all of the lessons, assignments, discussion questions, and quizzes that you're responsible for. As you see, it's divided into six parts, with one course overview and then a section for each week. As you've already found, there's a course overview tab, but there's also your instructor's virtual office, which is where you go if you have any questions for your instructor. 00:04:12:03 - 00:04:46:06 Unknown And in many cases, there might be a day one introduction tab like you see here. This is a great time to point out the messaging feature here in canvas. To use it, simply click reply. Type your response and then post reply. Just please keep in mind that this is a public forum and if you have any questions about whether something is or is not appropriate, you can always check out the Netiquette or web etiquette guide located in the resources on the homepage. 00:04:46:08 - 00:05:15:20 Unknown Next up, if your course includes live lectures. This page contains a brief summary of what to expect. Instructions for how to access them, and what your options are for attending. Live lectures are hosted on Microsoft Teams at 6 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. The link to join the meeting can be found in the overview, but it is also included in the weekly assignment page as seen here. 00:05:15:22 - 00:05:41:20 Unknown If you are unable to attend the live session, a recording of the lecture will be hosted there as well. Please allow up to 24 hours after the lecture has ended. For the recording link to become available. The last thing on your course overview is this section on plagiarism. Understanding what plagiarism is and how to avoid it, is a critical part of your academic journey. 00:05:41:22 - 00:06:10:14 Unknown To avoid any unnecessary problems and to gain a thorough understanding of source citation. Please complete the activity below. As we move into the main body of the course. The first thing you'll notice is an overview which contains the objectives and topics for the week. Be sure not to skip over or ignore this tab, because it's always a good idea to familiarize yourself with what you will be learning before you get into the actual lessons. 00:06:10:16 - 00:06:38:04 Unknown To access those lessons, you can either click next down here at the bottom, or you can navigate to the week using the progress bar up here at the top. Each one of these icons represents a different section for that week's assignments. So as you see next up are the readings and lessons for the week, which as you can see, are linked directly to their chapters and vital source. 00:06:38:06 - 00:07:03:10 Unknown If you have not set up your vital source account, there is a video describing that process located in the course. Overview. It's fairly simple and should only take you a minute to do. The only thing I point out on this page is that sometimes the lessons will include PowerPoint like we have here, and they would need to be downloaded to your computer or mobile device if possible. 00:07:03:12 - 00:07:40:24 Unknown After you've completed your readings and lectures, it's time to move on to the discussion questions. And while there's a lot happening on this page, the first area that I want to point you towards is this section here. This is where your instructor will leave a question or topic for you to discuss. Below that are some simple instructions. Pay close attention to number four because depending on your class, the number of responses may change and to receive the maximum number of points available, you do need to respond that many times which. 00:07:41:01 - 00:08:01:10 Unknown Speaking of points. Underneath you'll see the grading rubric or breakdown of how your instructor will grade your responses to post your answer. It's just like we did before. Simply scroll to the bottom, click Reply Type and then post reply. 00:08:01:12 - 00:08:25:00 Unknown Moving on to Assignments and homework. These are very similar pages, but they may vary a lot depending on the class or the instructor. The most important thing is to read the instructions and be sure that you're doing what is asked. The due date for the assignment can be found up here. And when you're ready to begin or submit, click the blue button up at the top. 00:08:25:02 - 00:08:41:02 Unknown The one thing that I'd mentioned here is that if you're turning in a writing assignment, this is a great time to revisit your home page where there's information about how to cite your sources, as well as a link to Grammarly. 00:08:41:03 - 00:09:06:11 Unknown The last thing I want to show you are the quizzes, midterms and final. And the most important thing to remember on this page is that there is a time limit. So it's very important that you keep an eye on that as you're going along. Which brings us to the end of our course overview.
