As all faculty work to transition our face-to-face courses online, consider what approaches would be most seamless for your students and realistic for you. One of the first possibilities to consider is, if you deliver course lectures, what tools are available in Canvas to deliver your content? 

Another possibility is, if you use cooperative or collaborative learning, how can Cavas help you facilitate group discussions. You may benefit from creating small groups. These groups can work synchronously through the small group Conference option or asynchronously through a small group discussion board. https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10460#jive_content_id_Groups and https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10460#jive_content_id_Discussions

’ve heard that other companies are offering free temporary access, but the only other one I know for sure of is kudu https://kudu.com/  -  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kNmo3ZJNGl0dKDyeg-wn13O4OpLLE9hVNc0UlOCkPEE/edit  

Lastly, here are some newer promising tools that I been eyeing that I haven’t yet had a chance to use but given the circumstances, others might find some of them useful if you’d like to share.  I think most of them have Canvas apps for easy course integration, but I would have to get with Robyn to have them made available.

Perusall – https://perusall.com/  - social reading/annotation tool – free

Hypothes.is – https://web.hypothes.is/  -  virtual annotation tool - free 

Flipgrid -  https://info.flipgrid.com/ - like a video discussion board.  Can’t decide if too immature for our students – TechSmith Video Review may be better

Prulu - https://prulu.com/  - creates answer repository for most frequently asked questions

InsertLearning - https://insertlearning.com/  - insert instructional content on any webpage

Additionally, professor Walker has made a video on how a person can create videos using a Mac: https://youtu.be/BMaHiHPSOFI
