Canvas Conferences

Faculty using the "Conferences" tool and BigBlueButton to deliver instruction should request a temporary Zoom license from helpdesk@lasell.edu if they wish to invite guest speakers to their class. As of Fall 2020, there is no way to invite a guest speaker into a Conference without also giving them access to course discussion forums.

Zoom

Do the following to invite a guest to a class Zoom session:

Navigate to the Upcoming Meetings list through the Zoom link in Canvas or through lasell.zoom.us.
Locate the meeting the guest will attend
Click on the "Topic" of the meeting -- usually the course name
Click on "Copy the Invitation" on the right side of the page
Click on "Copy Meeting Invitation"
Paste (Ctrl-V) the meeting invitation information into an email message or calendar event to share with the guest

Private Events

If you are using a Canvas course shell to host an event, it is possible to invite attendees from off campus. This can only be done if the course shell does not include any (FERPA protected) student work. Please complete this request form for each off-campus guest.
