Part 1: Slack Overview

Part 2: Use Case by Faculty

Slack is a channel-based messaging platform that will be available to everyone on campus at no cost to the user. 

Coursebot works to seamlessly integrate your Canvas course with Slack. As a result, you can use Slack to: 

• Notify students and TAs in real-time (e.g., send urgent announcements or assignment reminders) 
• Interact with students and TAs asynchronously, including scheduling messages
• Create topic-based channels for discussions, pinning important information to the top
• Create channels for student group work and/or course staff collaboration
• Conduct virtual office hours 
• Easily search a channel’s history to find previously communicated information
• Break through the cacophony of email with individual notification preferences
