How can I provide a place for my students to ask questions?
Do you want your students to have the ability to send a question or post a resource that is not connected to anything specific. The most efficient way to do this is in good ol’ Module 0.
Under Module 0, create an ungraded Canvas discussion titled, “Questions for the Instructor and Resources.” This provides an easy location for students to quickly ask questions regarding the content or seek support from each other. Instructors can also post additional resources that connect to the course.
This ungraded discussion offers students a quick location where they can connect with classmates and the instructor. If you subscribe to the discussion, you will receive an email notification that alerts you of a new post.
Bonus: If you are not able to answer a question, students have the ability to help each other in this ungraded, informal discussion.
