Include in this module things like a To Do list of updates you want to make before next term, course-related reminders/checklists, important campus dates, etc. This module will travel with your content when you import it into the next semester's shell.

Direct students there to see if their question has already been asked and answered.

# data[].attributes.body
If several students email with the same question, it indicates a need to respond to the whole class! Consider using an announcement or whole-class message from the Canvas Inbox—with an attention-getting subject line—to clear up the widespread area of confusion. (Also consider revising the assignment instructions to clarify the issue for next time.)

When you get a procedural, how-to question, create a short (<2') video tutorial that shows how to proceed. This can then be shared each time the question is asked.

Create a list of links to Canvas Student Guides that apply to common student questions. As with your cheat sheet of college resources, this makes it easy for you to provide guidance to students when they have a question.

Direct students to your course resources in Canvas

# data[].attributes.body
If a student asks a question that's already been answered in the Q&A, an announcement or whole-class email, direct the student to that resource. Answering the question again individually encourages the student to email you instead of checking course communications as a first step to resolving their question.

Organize your saved feedback by module and assignment, which you can then copy and paste as you grade. A Google doc works for this, or you can use a tool like TypeItIn or TextExpander

Rather than relying on memory, create a checklist of tasks to complete for each week of the class.

For example, the Week 1 checklist would take into account not only responding to your introduction discussion and grading assignments, but also dealing with census date, late adds, dropping No Shows, and any other first-week tasks.

Many questions have been pre-answered in the syllabus so I create a page with all my syllabus components where I direct students to "Ctl+F" for their question before emailing me. Helps cut down on logistical emails.

I use the Remind service to allow students to text me if that’s their preferred mode of contact. (Remind.com)

I’ve used Google Sites to create a very detailed FAQs page on which I’ve tried to answer dozens of common questions that I’ve heard over the years. I’ve embedded it into a Canvas page. It’s easy to edit and is colorful. I can direct students to the page. I think they find the format easier than reading the syllabus. It somewhat cuts down on providing the same answers over and over via email.

I use a Mac, so Typeitin doesn't work. I now use the embedded library in the grade book where you can add comments. I also just use a very organized Word doc that has all comments and I cut and paste into the grade book and then edit. Some feedback will always be standard and this helps students learn.

The more I learn about this, the more it makes sense. Look into it!

When grading on Canvas I have a standard response that I use for all the students who have not submitted the assignment and all the students who have. While grading, I open three screens (Grades, Assignment, and Assignment X Grading Screen) and first I re-use the same response for students who didn't do the assignment. Then I go through the students who did and give each specific feedback on their assignment submission based on how they did on the rubric. :)
