All events are virtual and in Eastern time unless otherwise noted.

Opportunities for Individual Support

Virtual Office Hours: Learning Innovation teaching consultants are available twice a week for individual consultations every Monday from 1 - 3 pm and every Thursday from 10 am to noon. No registration is needed; just drop into our Zoom room during the listed hours to connect with a consultant. There will be no office hours on Thursday, November 23 in observation of Thanksgiving.

Canvas One-on-Ones: If you have questions specifically about teaching with Canvas, you may also book a 25-minute one-on-one appointment with a member of the Canvas project team.

This series of workshops will be offered multiple times throughout the semester. See the Events page for additional dates and times.

This workshop is recommended for anyone who has not used Canvas as an instructor before or those who would like a refresher on Canvas. This session will include some of the basic “getting started” and Canvas configuration information. 

This workshop is strongly recommended for all instructors. This session will focus on the core of Canvas – the Modules tool – and how to use it and several other key Canvas tools to best organize your site to support student success. 

This session will cover assessing student learning in Canvas using quizzes, graded discussions, assignment submissions, and the gradebook.
