At the end of each term, Canvas course sites are converted to read-only mode. At SLS, courses go into read-only mode two months after the term ends. To communicate with students post-term, use the Unlock Course feature in Canvas. This feature allows instructors and teaching teams to unlock courses to interact with students again (send messages, add/edit content, etc.).

To unlock a concluded course:

1. Go to Courses > All Courses > Past Enrollments > select desired course

2. Click Settings

3. Click Unlock Course

4. A message will appear, letting you know that by default, the course will be unlocked for 7 days. Adjust the course Participation End Date or manually lock the course again once the course is unlocked. Click Submit.

5. The page will refresh. Verify the course is unlocked by confirming the Lock Course link is present and the course has a future Participation End date.

Use these instructions or follow along with this video to import course content.

Embrace the silence after displaying your poll!

Try not to rush polls by allowing 90 seconds for your first poll, and 30-40 seconds per poll thereafter.  As your audience becomes accustomed to submitting responses, you'll be able to pick up the pace.

For example, if AI summarizes a legal concept, explore how it interacts with other frameworks—like the relationship between state and federal law, or how different treatises approach the topic.

By treating the output as a conversation starter, you can deepen your understanding while building context.

When vibe coding, remember the three ground rules:

1. You are in control. You guide the AI and you're responsible for what it creates.

2. Forefront privacy, ethics, and safety when creating, testing, and especially when deploying your app.

3. Keep your API key safe.
