Overview
Zoom Pro and Canvas are standalone applications that can be used entirely independently of each other; instructors may choose to, but do not have to link Zoom Pro and Canvas. That being said, Canvas offers an integrated Zoom tool that shows up in each Extended Studies Canvas course menu by default.
This allows all of a course's scheduled Zoom meetings to be scheduled and displayed in the Canvas course. This Canvas feature is a great convenience to both students and instructors.
The good news is Canvas can automatically sync with your Zoom Pro account. The easiest way to connect Zoom Pro with Canvas is by using your UC San Diego (@ucsd.edu) email address as your primary email address in UC Path, Instructorlink and Canvas.
How to change your email address (Instructors)
Once your Program Manager has updated your InstructorLink email address, Canvas will be automatically updated within the hour if done during 7:30am - 8:30pm. Please note once your InstructorLink email address has been updated to your UC San Diego email address, all UC San Diego work and Canvas emails will go to your UC San Diego Outlook account. For this reason, you may wish to forward all incoming email to your personal email address (Gmail, Yahoo!, iCloud, etc.).
Please note: Once you make this change, your @ucsd.edu email address will be your username to login to both Canvas and InstructorLink. Your InstructorLink password will remain the same unless you change it, and your InstructorLink password is the same password you use to access Canvas.
