Fall 24' Canvas Course Shells
Faculty who teach in-person, non-medical undergraduate and graduate students now have the option to begin creating individual course shells or request the crosslist of multiple courses. Refer to the Canvas: Request Course Shell Knowledge Base article for information on how to create the Canvas course shell. Note, when creating a shell and copying content from a previous semester, be sure to clean up and remove any old or unused content.
Course shells are automatically published and are available to students 5 days before the start of the semester.
For information on combining multiple sections of the same course, visit Canvas: Crosslist Course Sections.
Communicate With Students
You can make and display course announcements in Canvas, or use our student-directed mailing lists to reach a specific group of students, such as students in a given course or major. These lists are updated 14 days before the first day of the semester.
We limit the number of emails you can send in a 24-hour period to 500 as part of our anti-spam prevention measures. If you may need to send more emails than this limit allows, you must submit a request in the Rowan Support Portal.
Remote Automated Proctoring Process
The remote proctoring software, Proctorio, is available for online examinations. If an instructor wants to utilize the remote proctoring software in their course section in Canvas, the instructor of record must complete the Rowan Online – Exam Proctoring Request form for Fall 2024.
Requests for remote automated proctoring for session types day, evening, or weekend will require approval from the department or college responsible for the course. Those departments or colleges will be charged per student, per proctored assessment in each course section. Written approval from the authorized person to approve budget expenses in your department or college should be acquired before submitting this form. The deadline for requests is August 22, 2024
