PSA to Instructors: please EMAIL your students
Canvas is down. It’s been down for nearly 12 hours now. Who knows when it's going to return to normal. We all know you're not to blame for this outage and neither is the college.
That said, can you please be proactive and email your students this week's assignments, instructions, and how you will mitigate missed due dates due to the outage? Do you want homework emailed to you? Are you going to extend deadlines if the students cannot submit work on time? How will you deal with quizzes and exams?
On our end, there has been little to no communication from the college. Maybe you’re in the same boat. It’s disappointing, but unsurprising. So, it would be pretty cool if you could do one better right now.
Because, you don’t really want individual students emailing you asking about how to proceed, right?
Thanks. We appreciate you!
