Dear Colleagues,
Yale has created fall 2020 courses in Canvas. You can now edit your course site.
We invite you to take the following actions before August 7:
- Post your syllabus in your course site’s “Syllabus” tool
- Publish your course site.
After you complete the two steps above, your course syllabus will become available to students in Yale Course Search within 2 hours.
FAS Specific Information for Open Enrollment
To provide students additional information about your course during the open enrollment period, an Extended Course Description template will be available in all FAS courses (Yale College and GSAS courses in Canvas). Dean Chun, Dean Cooley, and Dean Gendler requested that faculty upload this information to Canvas by August 7 to ensure students have access to the information during the course enrollment period.
As part of the new template, you will also have the option to share a Course Welcome Video. In the absence of a traditional shopping period this semester, a Course Welcome Video provides students an opportunity to hear from you about the class.
