From Clemson Online’s Pets

March 20, 2023

The pets and plants of Clemson Online keep learning while on Spring Break!

Even during Spring Break, we will be learning online!

 

Hi I’m Ghost (left)! My pal, Scorpio (right), and I always put our best paws forward for our Zoom meetings.

 

 

 

I’m Eminem and I enjoy watching educational videos (specifically to learn how to turn on the sink).

 

 

 

Roxy here! I’ve found giving and receiving emotional support is very important to get through a tough assignment.

 

 

 

I’m Adrian and this is my Zoom profile picture- a dynamic headshot (feel free to use it as a reference).

 

 

 

Greetings! I’m Val the orchid, here to remind you that accessibility can still be beautiful. I mean just look at my special pot with holes in the side.

 

 

 

Mr. Ficus here, don’t forget to to take a break from the screen once in a while to soak up some sun.

 

 

 

Hi I’m Frankie, can’t really talk right now, I’m watching for the latest accessibility practices to use!

 

 

 

Hello, I’m Mister Maxwell! Luna (left), Sarah (right) I (middle), have gotten this time management down pat. We just turned in an assignment, and find naps very rewarding.

 

 

 

Socks here! In my opinion, the best place to participate in online learning is outside.

 

 

 

I’m Sauron and I love online learning! I also love shouting about how much I love it.

New Canvas FeatureCanvas icon

Beginning March 15, instructors will be able to submit assignments into Canvas on behalf of students in their course. If students have trouble with the submission tool or need to submit after the assignment is closed, this allows the instructor to upload it to Canvas and grade it through Speedgrader or in tandem with a rubric connected to the assignment. It may be particularly useful for those assignments that consist of a performance, speech, or presentation that the instructor records. Only those with the “Teacher” role in Canvas will be able to use this feature, and submissions will indicate who uploaded them and when.
