Tech: Inclusive classes- How do you pronounce your name?

Posted on by dalkej
While you may be able to pronounce student names at this point in the semester, students may not yet know each other’s names. Did you know that students and instructors can record their names in Canvas so that classmates/instructors can hear how to pronounce their name?

Step by step instructions for Canvas student name recordings: 

  • Go to your course in Canvas
  • Go to the three lines in top left next to course name and navigate to settings
  • Choose the “Navigation” tab
  • Find “Student Name Recordings” and hit the three dots to the right, hit “Enable”
  • Click “Save” at the bottom of the page (you may have to scroll down to see “Save”)

Now you will see “Student Name Recordings” in your course left menu bar. When you navigate to that page, you will see two tabs, “Recorded names” and “Unrecorded names.” Click on “Unrecorded names,” then “Remind all” in upper right to send an email to all students in your course asking them to record their name. Once they do, their recording will be visible under “Recorded names” to you and to fellow students. 

You can also copy and paste your name recording to your Gmail signature. Click here for instructions on how to do so.
