Canvas Chat
In all of your General Education courses, the personal introduction has been moved from the Unit 1 Discussion to the Chat feature in Canvas. You will find the Chat link in the left-hand menu under the Discussions link.

Your personal introduction should be informal and may include any or all of the following:

Your name and a description of your current position (If not employed, what are your expectations when you complete your program?)
The state in which you reside at this time
Your family including pets
Your other interests
How do you see yourself applying knowledge from this course?
After the initial introduction has been shared, you are invited to use the Chat function as often as you wish. Some things you may wish to share with your instructor and fellow students include:

Significant events in your life
Questions about the course
Concerns about your progress in the course
Offers of encouragement to others
You are also encouraged to respond to posts shared by the instructor and other students.

The goal is for the Chat function to help foster a sense of community within our online space. Chat away!
