What is Canvas?
All of my online classes utilize the Canvas Learning Management system, available here. This page contains information on how to log in to the Palomar College Canvas site.
- The Canvas Login Procedure Guide is located at this link.
- This page contains useful information from the Canvas people on how to use their system.
- Prepare for Online Learning at this page, which includes links to Online Student Readiness Tutorials prepared by the California Community Colleges Online Education Initiative.
How are Dr. A’s Online Courses different from other classes?
- My courses are different because the assignments are more “open-ended”. There are only two deadlines for my courses:
- For my Introductory “How to Read a Book” assignment during the first two weeks of the class.
- For completion of the course essays and discussion board postings, at the very end of the course.
- Students are provided with a “Recommended Reading and Viewing Schedule” for course readings and film viewing, but these can be adjusted according to the individual schedule for each student.
