Make Things Easy with Bookmarks
This month we have focused on support! Whether that is supporting your learners by using analytics or supporting yourself to avoid burnout, we want you to be empowered to perform your best. To cap off this month, we have one more tip for supporting yourself: bookmark your frequently visited websites to save yourself time. Stop hunting for your daily websites and be sure you can find the resources you need when you need them.
Simply copy and paste these frequently-visited web addresses into your browser’s bookmarks or click the links and then save the bookmarks. Be sure to create a folder that houses them for easy access:
clemson.edu/canvas
clemson.account.box.com/login
kaltura.clemson.edu
clemson.zoom.us
