What is Starfish Connect?
Starfish Connect is an online tool linked in Canvas that makes it quick and easy to provide support and feedback for your students.
WHY USE Starfish Connect?
You can connect students individually or collectively with campus services, share a concern with a student or recognize great behavior.
You can use Starfish Connect anytime!
It’s located on your Canvas dashboard. You’ll receive reminders about Starfish Connect twice a semester. You will be prompted to complete a student progress survey for each of your classes mid-semester. The progress survey makes it quick and easy for you to raise flags or kudos for multiple students simultaneously. It’s as easy as clicking boxes next to
students’ names from your course roster.
