1. Faculty and support staff now have access to the Canvas Faculty PD course within Canvas. The course covers the fundamental components of the Canvas LMS system and consists of asynchronous training materials so you can go at your own pace. You will learn how to create Modules, Assignments, and Quizzes, use the Rich Content Editor, Grading and Feedback, and much more.
2. Instructure, the educational technology company behind Canvas, provided us with virtual training sessions in August. These sessions covered many of the same topics contained in the asynchronous module described above, but in an interactive format. For those unable to attend the live events, a recording of each session is linked below.
