Course Introduction Videos

We can also help you help your students to get to know more about your course with a thoughtfully created an introduction video.

Course introduction videos are an effective way to communicate key components of your syllabus, share your expectations and establish a sense of connection with your students. In this example video created by Declan Rochea for his CHEM 110 course, he explains his course outline, learning outcomes and expectations, where to find elements in Canvas, and more.
