There are a couple reasons why you may want to use the Zoom tool in your course.
- You may want to set up a repeating weekly meeting session online for the whole duration of your course.
- Holding office hours online for online, hybrid or face-to-face courses.
- Setting up a one-time meeting session in your course, in case you won’t be able to physically make it to a class session.
- Scheduling an online study session with your students before an important exam.
The CalStateLA Zoom tool makes these options possible. However, these options require technical steps. The Canvas Zoom guides have instructions for creating these types of Zoom meetings.
Adding Zoom to your Course Navigation
To enable Zoom from within your Canvas course:
- Click on the course "Settings" navigation item (the last item in the left navigation).
- On the course "Settings" page, there are tabs across the top. Click on the "Navigation" tab.
You should see "Zoom" in the list of items you can enable in your Canvas course navigation.
- Click on the three dots to the right of the Zoom title to expand the menu to "Enable" Zoom. Click on "Enable".
- MAKE SURE TO CLICK "SAVE" at the bottom of the Navigation page.
You should now see Zoom show up in your Canvas course left navigation menu.
