Video Introduction in Canvas

Now that you've had a chance to learn about the course and the online learning environment, I'd like to get to know you...and help you get to know each other! Complete the activities below, then continue with the remainder of the Course Orientation.

Activity

What you need to do...

  1. Introduce yourself and meet the rest of the class!
    We will use Canvas to post video introductions. To access the discussion forum:
    • Click on the "Personal Introductions" discussion located in the "Start Here" folder.
    • Take a moment to create a video introduction and post it to the "Personal Introductions" discussion forum. In your introduction, please include the following information about yourself:
      • What do you hope to gain from this course?
      • Where do you live? (state, country, province, etc.) It's always interesting to see where everyone in the course currently calls home.
      • Do you have any geospatial and/or environmental work experience?
      • A fun fact about yourself.
    • After you have posted your video, link to (or include an image of) any favorite environmental map of your choosing! This can be a map of a place you've lived or visited or just a map that you find particularly interesting. 
    • View other students' postings to learn more about them.
  2. Complete the "Initial Course Survey"
    This survey contains questions about you and your expectations for this course. To access the Initial Course Survey:
    • Click on the "Initial Course Survey" located in the "Start Here" folder.

Again, welcome to GEOG 487!
