Many schools use Canvas as a platform for professors to share course materials, assignments, grades, and announcements. It’s important to check Canvas regularly for updates, as most of your class information will be posted there. Professors often use Canvas for test-taking and submitting assignments, so getting comfortable with the platform is key to staying on top of your coursework!

Another resource you might encounter is Brightspace, a platform where college professors post assignments, grades, and sometimes even tests. Similar to Canvas, Brightspace is used to share course materials, track progress, and communicate important updates. It’s crucial to check Brightspace regularly for any new information, assignments, or feedback. Becoming familiar with Brightspace (if your school uses this platform) will help you stay organized and manage your coursework effectively!

WebEx is a platform similar to Zoom, used for virtual meetings with professors or counselors. Some professors prefer WebEx for online classes or one-on-one meetings, so it’s good to be familiar with it. Whether you’re attending an online class or scheduling a meeting with a professor, WebEx will be the platform to connect virtually. Make sure to check your email for links and meeting details!
