If you are moving a course online midterm and are uncertain where to start, here are some first steps.  

Every CU course has a Canvas shell, and every CU employee/student has a Zoom Pro account.  These comprise your class basecamp.  

• Find your personal Zoom link, and save it. This is like your phone number, keep it handy.
• Login to Canvas and go to your course shell.
• Load the quick-start course template from the Canvas Commons.
• Update your Canvas home page, put your personal Zoom link here.  Update the welcome message and your contact information.  Let students know how things will proceed.
• Publish your course so students can find it.

• Bonus step...  on the day/time of your class, launch your Zoom and talk to your students.
