Guiding educators through online teaching, stress-free
Hey there, fellow educators! I'm Ashlee Espinosa, a professor with an MFA in Musical Theatre. I've been teaching online at the collegiate level for over a decade, alongside offering virtual teaching and coaching in my own courses and 1:1 sessions independently. I understand how challenging it can be to transition from in-person to virtual teaching, whether it's asynchronous, synchronous, or a hybrid model. Navigating Canvas LMS, Zoom, virtual lectures, and even hosting your own independent courses can be tough at first, so I'm here to help you feel confident and cool.

Thank you so much this helped. I needed a timer for my product launch and this helped tremendously
Excellent tips, thank you.
My pleasure!
RCC! Inland Empire represent. Hello from CSUSB :)
hey hey! I used to teach there yep! Love CSUSB! I have a ton of students that graduated from there actually.
You are a God send!! Thank you, thank you!
You're soooo welcome!
Canva is o% intuitive on this matter. Thanks
Canva is always changing things up!
Thank you 🙏🏻
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you so much! I felt so lost when I was given reams of written instructions with no starting point until I stumbled upon your video. Your explanation was super clear and easy to follow. In the span of 24 hours, I have already created my course with landing page. quizzes, assignments, rubrics for at least 2 modules etc. If not for your video, I would still be scratching my head like the majority of my colleagues. Virtual hug for you. ❤❤❤
You are so welcome! I love that you were able to get started so quickly! Glad that you found me and this video. 🤗 You are the reason why I filmed this video so I'm grateful the internet world led you to it. I sure appreciate the virtual hugs!!! We all need a little extra support these days. Wishing you the best on your online teaching adventures.
Do you have one on one tutoring?
so sorry I don't have one on tutoring. I don't have experience in that area but hopefully you'll find another video that might help here on RUclips.
This was SO helpful! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
My phone overheat with i use as a camera
Then your next option is to buy a simple web cam to attach to your computer for better quality. If it’s an older phone and computer then that might be why it’s over heating.
Thank you- I’m new to online teaching and this really helps. 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this. I am getting my TESOL certificate to teach English to adults. My goal is to eventually have it as an online business teaching business English. Cheers!
You’re on the right track! I wish you the best of luck!
Hello, First time visiting your channel. Very helpful tips. Thanks for sharing. Happy new year!! 🎉🎤📝 79 likes
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉 Glad the tips were helpful.
My current hosting platform for my online membership (and all my online courses) is unconventional but that's how I roll.
Thank you for this, Ashlee! It's so informative, and congratulations on building such a solid online business. I'm currently juggling online classes, courses, and trying to piece everything together into a cohesive business model. I'm considering adding a community aspect but feel unsure about what to include. How many one-to-one sessions would you recommend per week (and members in the community) to keep the business running sustainably and avoid burnout? I’d only be able to take on a small number of members if I offered two one-on-one coaching sessions per month in a package, along with managing the community, launches, and social media. It all feels a bit overwhelming!
I use Echo360 and want to copy them from one course to another course. Is there a way to do that on Canvas?
I’m not familiar with Echo360
This is so helpful, thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
It would be nice if you would just provide a step by step...in this case exporting and importing a canvas course, with out all the "side bar" information. Maybe add that last, but trying to learn something new is difficult when you are telling us all this extra information....sorry.
I did provide a step by step on how to export and import in this video. That's literally what the full 7 minute video is about. Learning something new is difficult which is why I also provide additional information on each step so you have a clear understanding of why each step is important. That's how I teach my students and how I create content here on RUclips. If that method of learning doesn't work for you then that's okay. Happy teaching.
Thanks!
my absolute pleasure! I'm so glad the tutorial was helpful. I sure appreciate your super thanks. Happy online teaching!
Your ability to explain anything in a way that is easy to understand is incredible. I'm definitely signing up for this.
Thank you! I'm glad you found the video helpful.
This is awesome! Thank you...
You're very welcome!
Loved the intro yet when you gave the examples, it still came across as being graded-based without calling it that. Will give this more thought.
You’re right, grading is a part of the education system but I was aiming to broaden how to assess learning and not just be stuck on grades.
This is painful and sounds. Depending on the class, you might be better just rebuilding it or using resources from your textbook.
What is painful? Having a back up of your course content in formats you can use the rest of you career is painful? I do not use Google classroom. I am not sending you to Google classroom. I used a Google doc for this if that's what you mean? That's not Google Classroom. You can not often import entire course modules from canvas into other platforms. Especially if they do not support additional apps or programs that you used to create the course in your past institution. I've had this happen to me many times and many other faculty I have worked with in the past that come to me when they can not access the course work they spent years working on inside Canvas with no back up.
@@VirtualTeachingPro There are some 3rd party tools like Relokia. The schools CIO and technology departments should have a migration plan and resources to make this easier. This should not be the responsiblity of the teachers. But, if that is not an option, I would just rebuild the class and leverage resources from my textbook provider. If the school is moving to say, Canvas, most publishers will help the teachers build their courses.
@@cybermonkeyusa Most publishers do not help teachers build their courses if they move to Canvas unfortunately. I've worked with hundreds of educators and institutions who've migrated from platforms into Canvas and it's always the same story...they start from scratch typically on their own which exactly what I created this channel and this video in particular.
@@VirtualTeachingPro I do it all the time with Pearson, McGraw-Hill and other publishers. All you have to do is ask your reps.
You are amazing. Your students are so lucky to have you.
Thank you so much! I love what I do as an educator.
Thank you so much, you are a good teacher.
Thanks!
Thank you so much.
You are very welcome!
This was SO helpful! Thank you!!
I'm so glad!
So helpful👍Thanks.
You're welcome!
I am just learning Canvas and this was exactly the kind of overview that I was looking for. Thank you for putting this together - it's perfect!
You're so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful.
You so damn professional, jesus!
I try 😎
Dear Ashlee, I’ve added a hyperlink to the image on the front page to direct it to the module, but the image isn’t clickable.
Thank you love
You are so welcome
Hi Ashley, amazing content - thank you so much. Is there a way to have a journal document that they can add to every week, rather than a new document each week?
Hey there. Not that I’m aware of. I’ve always done it as a new doc each week to keep it easy to grade and easy for them to navigate. Making it all one doc would just mean you would need to grade it end of semester I think which can get confusing I think for both to and the student. Other option is to go old school and have them do it on paper notebook and then bring in end of semester to grade. I’ve tested this out and sometimes it’s actually more fun for them. Just depends on your needs and preference.
Hope this helps. I know how exhausting it can be to teach and coach and work online virtually every single day. We all need a little extra confidence sometimes.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
thank you so much for this video
You're so welcome!
Super helpful. I just liked/subscribed. Ashley, what stand do you use for your microphone? I like the look of a mic on a stand, vs. a boom-arm mic setup. Thanks!
I use a shure mic with an on stage stand. Here's the actual item if that helps: amzn.to/3jQBB34
Wow love your professional manner and your content. Just about giving up on getting another online teaching job and doing my own courses seem to way to go. Thanks for the inspiration!
You’re welcome and glad I was able to offer some inspiration.
how do you delete the black square behind the countdown? i changed the whole background but dont want de black square behind the countdown anymore?
this is what I am trying to figure out as well. If you have any insight let me know.
not sure it's possible to remove the black square background since it's built in the movie format. you can adjust the coloring in edits but even if you use the background removal option in canva you can't see the countdown number.

So mindful! Compassionate teaching.
Thanks so much. Compassion and empathetic approach to teaching is part of my philosophy as an educator and mentor.
I really can't believe educators think Canvas is good software. Really really really marginal. A bunch of high school computer programmers could write better software
Then by all means, encourage these high schools to write a better software system. I’d love to see to what they come up with.
TO MUCH YAPPING. you should talk less and explain more.
hope you have a great day too
Awesome thanks!
welcome!
Fabulous - love your presentation style and energy :-)
aw thank you!
Do have an idea of how do I might make this where only the submitting student can see their private posts?
You will always have access to anything they post so it won’t be fully private. But you would be the one one to access it if it’s just submitted and not created as a discussion thread of some kind.
I have a course that need to take/ refresh every year. Is it possible to set/send reminder to students to take every year automatically. Is there a record where I can see each students record like who has taken and who has not taken yet?
Not sure this if this is possible
Hi! Thank you so much for making this video. I remember you mentioned you would make it soon, and you did! You are amazing! Thanks!
welcome!
your students are lucky to have you!
aw thank you so much. I love what I do as an educator.
