Resource Reflections: Using a Canvas assignment to encourage use of campus resources
Subject: All
From The Author
Once classes moved to remote environment, I was concerned students would feel less comfortable using campus resources. I created an assignment to encourage them to try out online workshops and services that were still available online. I thought other faculty might also want to try this activity. It could be done for credit, or extra credit.
Impact on Faculty
Students who use resources greatly benefit, however many feel uncomfortable asking for help or going to tutoring or other resources. This activity normalizes and incentivizes using resources.Impact on Students
Faculty will be able to encourage student use of resources in a way that takes little class time, but makes a big impact.Toolkit Survey
