学生时区讲师指南

画布中的学生时区工具可根据其时区可视化您的学生的可用性, which can be manually set by each student or automatically set by Canvas.

学生可以选择在Canvas配置文件设置中设置一个首选的时区。或者，画布将根据最近的Canvas登录设置学生的推断时区。推断的时区是基于IP地址的近似位置，可能不可能是可靠的，但这是最好的猜测。

What can I use it for?

您可以使用学生时区来支持协作：

  • Determine the overlap of regular working hours for everyone in the course
  • Schedule synchronous course activities at times that accommodate the majority

虽然该工具将帮助您确定基于时区的重叠，但请注意它不会显示像日历中的一般可用性。

>使用学生时区中的数据

Use the data in Student Timezones

  1. 在界面的顶部，您可以设置filtersfor the course section(s), workday start time, and workday end time you want to display. Changing sections and times will adjust the visualizations that show when students are available.
  2. Below the filters, you'll see threetabsyou can access by clicking them:
    • Canvas Setting tab: Displays the preferred time zone information for students who manually set a time zone in their Canvas profile settings. Preferred time zone is the time zone that best reflects the hours when students prefer to do coursework and may not reflect the location they are living in.
    • 从IP标签推断出来: Displays time zone information inferred from the IP address of students' most recent Canvas login. If a student has not logged in previously, the default time zone (Pacific Time) is displayed. The inferred time zone is an approximate location based on an IP address and may not be reliable, but it is a best guess.
      • 使用UBC的VPN（虚拟专用网络）的学生从此视图中过​​滤出来，因为它更改了IP地址，并且使用商业VPN的学生同样可能具有不准确的位置。鉴于这些不准确性，请不要将此信息用于调度同步课程中的一般指导以外的任何内容。
    • Detailed View tab: Displays each student’s preferred time zone (if set) and inferred time zone, as well as when they last logged in and if they were using the UBC VPN.
  3. 点击Canvas Setting tab要么从IP标签推断出来要查看这些学生可用性的可视化，基于您设置的工作日开始和结束时间。
    • The “Overview” visualization bar shows overall student availability. Darker green indicates more students are available, while lighter green indicates fewer students are available. Hovering the mouse over this bar displays more information.

      Your availability is shown below, beside your name. Your name is linked to your Canvas profile settings page, where you can change your preferred time zone.
