*Happy 2020 Summer Program!*

Today is the official beginning of the 2020 ICPSR Summer Program! We're so
glad that we can offer the program this year, and though we will miss
seeing everyone in Ann Arbor or in our off-site locations, we have been
working to make this year's program as academically fulfilling as any
other with as many networking opportunities as we can arrange in a virtual
environment.

We have some big news to share about how our courses this year will
operate, what software we will use, and how we are
accommodating participants outside Eastern Daylight Time.

The 2020 ICPSR Summer Program will use a variety of tools and services to
provide online instruction for the summer. We are using a program called
Canvas to support all of our offerings. We believe it will be useful in
administering enrollment, providing access to readings, organizing and
grading assignments, and collecting evaluations.

Participants will be provided a Uniqname for the Michigan computing system
so that they can access the Canvas website for their course. Once we
finalize each Canvas site, we will send registered participants a link, and
they will be able to view course materials, readings, and other
information. More information about how to use Canvas will be sent to
participants in the days before their course begins. Lectures will be done
through Zoom, as it integrates very well with Canvas.

Lectures will be recorded and posted to each course's Canvas site, where
they will be available for viewing up until 11:59PM the day a course ends.
Recording these lectures is important for a number of reasons, the most
important of which is to support our many participants from around the
world. We don't want anyone to have to sit through a lecture at 2:00AM!

Finally, we would like to thank you for your patience while we put these
arrangements in place. It's been a lot of work transitioning the program
online this year, and we appreciate your understanding and support.

We hope you are well, healthy, and safe.
