Create a Zoom Meeting (Virtual Office Hours Only)
Note: We do not recommend creating virtual office hours meeting links through the Zoom link in Canvas; these meetings will be connected to your Panopto course folder and may result in inadvertently sharing private meetings with the whole class.
Log into bradley.zoom.us
Select Schedule a meeting.
Enter the meeting name (e.g., Spring 2024 Office Hours) in the Topic field.
Skip the When and Duration fields and check the Recurring Meeting checkbox.
Set the Recurrence field to No fixed time.
Select the Security settings to your preferences; Waiting Room is recommended for office hours.
Select Save.
Copy the Invite Link. (It is a blue link in the format https://bradley.zoom.us/j/XXXXXXXXXX)
Create a Google Meet (Virtual Office Hours Only)
Log into your BU account through calendar.google.com
Click on the Create + button and select Event
Enter the meeting name (e.g., Spring 2024 Office Hours) in the Title box
Enter the starting date and the time you'd like your office hours to start
Make the event recurring:
Next to "Does not repeat," click the Down arrow Down arrow.
Choose how often you want the event to repeat and when you want the event that repeats to end (in Custom...)
Select the blue "Add Google Meet video conferencing" button to create the Meet link.
Copy the Meet URL by clicking the rectangle box on the right.
Setup an Appointment Block in Canvas
In Canvas’s global navigation bar, select Calendar.
Click on the Create New Event (+) button.
Select the Appointment Group tab.
Enter Name (e.g., Office Hours) for the appointment group.
Enter the Location (e.g., BR 123 or the Zoom URL); if entering a Zoom URL, paste the link you copied in step 8 above.
Click the Select Calendars button and select the course or courses to be included in the appointment group.
Note: Selecting multiple course calendars is ideal for allowing any students with the same instructor (regardless of course) to sign up for the instructor’s Office Hours appointments.
Indicate the Date and Time Range for the appointment group.
Next, enter the amount of time to divide the Time Range and click the Go button. For example, if your office hours are from 1-3 pm, entering 20 minutes would result in six sign-up times.
(Optional) To limit how many students can sign up for a given slot, select the Limit each time slot checkbox and enter the user limit per slot.
(Optional) Select the checkbox to allow students to see who has signed up for available time slots.
(Optional) To limit the time slots a particular student may reserve, select the Limit participants to attend... checkbox and indicate the appointment limit per student.
Add necessary details. If you are meeting virtually via Zoom, add the Zoom meeting URL copied in step 8 above to the Details box.
