Why Virtual Office Hours

Virtual office hours can be a great opportunity to connect with your online students in real time or offer greater flexibility for your in-person course. If you are considering utilizing virtual office hours, please keep in mind that you are required to offer at least some of your office hours in a manner consistent with the instructional modality of your course, per Kent State policy. As with in-person office hours, you may wish to offer some variability and flexibility in times for your office hours, as many of your students may have a multitude of life responsibilities that prevent them from attending during set hours. You may encourage all students to consider attending Office Hours through Announcements in Canvas.
