How-to Guides for Teaching Fellows

Canvas @ Yale: 

• Communicate with Students: Canvas has two tools you can use to communicate with your students. Each course has an “Announcements” tool and each user has access to the ”Conversations” or ”Inbox” tool. Learn how to use these tools to communicate with students. 

• Digitally Grade Exams: After the lead instructor or teaching fellow enables your Gradescope account, you can use Gradescope to grade paper-based, digital, and code assignments. You can also provide feedback to your students within the tool. 

• Review our overall Academic Continuity Canvas guide.

• Review our Canvas Support Guides.

Zoom (Video Conferencing): 

• Conduct Sections Virtually: Use Zoom in Canvas to conduct class

• Record Sections: Use Zoom to record sections or Use Panopto (known as Media Library) to record sections.
