Create a Communication Plan Before the Start of the Semester

Faculty should let students know how they will communicate with them in the event that they are unable to get to their classroom. The simplest way to do so is to message all registered students through the Canvas mobile app or browser.

From the Canvas Teacher app:

• Open the Canvas Teacher app;
• Choose the course to message on the dashboard;
• Use Announcements to compose and send a message. Announcement messages are automatically sent to the student’s New School email address;

Or

• Use the Inbox icon (bottom of screen) to compose an email message that is sent to all registered students.

From the browser (for example Safari or Chrome):

• Open the browser;
• Go to https://canvas.newschool.edu. Log in with your New School username and password;
• Choose your course on the dashboard;
• Use Announcements to compose and send a message. Announcement messages are automatically sent to the student’s New School email address;

Or

• Use the Inbox icon (located at far left of screen) to compose an email message that is sent to the students.
