Using Palomar Email

The simplest (but most limited) solution is for you to use your Palomar email account to temporarily conduct your class remotely.

- Here’s how you can get a list of all the Palomar email addresses for your class.
- To easily access your Palomar email, go to Office.com, sign in with your Palomar email information, and hit the Outlook button.
- Other tips can be found on Palomar's Using Email to Teach Anywhere site.

Using Zoom

If instructors want to hold classes during normal, scheduled times, they can use Zoom, a free tool Palomar has for online meetings. It’s easy to install and use and works on any web browser or mobile phone.

- To get an account, go to the ConferZoom site and use the Sign In link.
- CCC Confer and the ConferZoom staff have compiled resources for learning how to use Zoom.
- There is a way to launch Zoom meetings directly from within a Canvas course. ConferZoom has guides for both Faculty and Students if you're interested in trying that. But Zoom meetings can be used totally independent from Canvas as well.
- Other tips can be found on Palomar's Using Zoom to Teach Anywhere site.

Using Canvas

If you have already some familiarity with Canvas (e.g. because you use it in your face-to-face classes to distribute documents, record grades, etc.) you may want to consider using more of its features to help you deliver your class remotely.

- All classes students can enroll in at Palomar already have Canvas course shells prepared. Just log in to Canvas to get started. You'll find that all your students are already listed as enrolled in your course shells.
- Keep in mind that each element within a Canvas course (page, discussion, assignment), as well as the course itself, need to be published before students can use them. So even if you've put stuff into your course site, students won't be able to get to it until you publish your Canvas course.
- Don't try to learn "all about Canvas" when preparing for this possible emergency. Just focus on continuing to help your students as best you can.
- If you have technical problems using Canvas, open up the Help menu and pick from the variety of methods available, from reading Canvas Guides, through requesting support from the ATRC, all the way up to contacting Canvas Support from the company by phone.
