Distance Education – Faculty Hub
During unsettled times like the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s important for our School of Graduate Education faculty at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine to continue teaching — as seamlessly as possible.
Immediate recommendations
- Use your Canvas course as the primary “home base” for your course. The Canvas Instructor Guide contains some helpful information, if needed.
-
Stay in regular communication with students by email and Canvas course announcements or through Zoom for Q&A sessions or online office hours.
- This online and asynchronous form of instruction means it’s important that you are comfortable with all educational technology applications:
- Canvas is the learning management system (LMS) and is the “home base” for each course.
- Panopto is used to record lectures/videos and share with students.
- Proctorio is used to proctor all exams and quizzes.
- Zoom is used for synchronous Q&A or online office hours.
