====== Start of Semester Tips​ for Faculty ======

==== Before Your First Class ====
  * **Import the UPDATED CPH Canvas Course Template:** The template is required in all CPH Canvas courses. From the //Commons// area in Canvas, import the template to Canvas courses BEFORE adding content. **New instructors**, please send email to [[cphithelp@temple.edu|CPHIThelp]] to request access to the template. Instructions on importing the template are available on the **[[http://cph.to/canvastemplate|CPH Canvas Template wiki page]]**.
 
  * **Preview Your Classroom:** To see photos and information about your classrooms use the **[[https://cph.to/cls|CPH Classroom Lookup System (CLS)]]**. If you would like to schedule a training session, please contact [[cphithelp@temple.edu|CPHIThelp]].

  * **Schedule In-Class Recording:** To schedule your class to be automatically recorded using **[[https://cphapps.temple.edu/wiki/it/teaching/tools/lecture_capture|Panopto]]**, submit requests using the **[[https://cph.to/request/classcapture | Class Capture Request Form]]**. ​
  
  * **Request Proctoring Licenses:** To secure Canvas online tests, automate proctoring, and review proctoring results with **[[https://cphapps.temple.edu/wiki/it/teaching/tools/proctoring|Proctorio]]**, please send requests for new and renewal (required each semester) licensing to [[cphithelp@temple.edu|CPHIThelp]]. 

  * **Schedule Zoom Class Meetings from Canvas:** To help students easily find class meeting links and recordings, follow the instructions in the **[[https://cphapps.temple.edu/wiki/it/teaching/tools/zoomwithincanvas |Schedule Zoom Within Canvas How-To Guide]]** on the CPH IT Wiki.

  * **Obtain Door Codes:** Classrooms in STAR and Weiss 351 are locked and require door codes for access. Please contact Kris Scott at [[Kris.Scott@temple.edu]] for codes.
   
  * **Request a Video Consultation:** If using video, consider scheduling a consultation with the CPH video specialist for ideas on creating engaging, professional-quality video content or requesting time in the CPH Recording Studio. 

==== In the Classroom ====
  * Use the **Request Help Button**: ​If technical assistance is needed, press //Request Help// on the touch panel then press //Confirm//. Alerts will be sent to the Classroom Technology Support team.

    * Whenever possible, **Use Classroom Computers:** Computer equipment in instructor podiums has been updated with the latest versions of software and fully tested to function with the installed AV and recording equipment. When using a laptop, you may need an adapter; please contact your department. 
 
  * **Bring Batteries:** Some classrooms are equipped with clip-on (lavalier) or hand-held microphones. If you plan to use microphones, please bring 2 AA batteries, available from your department. 

  * **Check the Mute button:** Some classrooms default to volume MUTED on startup; please check that the device and microphone volumes are not muted.
