Tools for Asynchronous Learning

The sample assignments in this guide are intended to give you a sense how to communicate with your students when you are not able to physically be in class with them. These assignments are intended to serve as a stand-in for class discussion/class participation, when live discussion over Zoom or asynchronous discussion over Canvas is not possible or desirable. 

If you have any problems with Zoom, Canvas, or other FSU-supported technologies, please contact representatives through the Office of Distance Learning (ODL) or Information Technology Services (ITS).

If you are interested in developing an assignment that specifically uses digital technologies as a means of inquiry in the classroom, you may contact the Office of Digital Research and Scholarship (DRS) at FSU Libraries to consult on designing an assignment or having a DRS affiliate provide instruction for your class. You can request an instruction session through https://lib.fsu.edu/form/DRS/instruction-request-form
