Using Canvas to Support Face-to-Face Instruction

The Faculty Center invites you to join a series of interactive Zoom workshops designed to enhance your teaching by using Canvas with your face-to-face classes. Each one-hour session will focus on a specific topic, offering practical strategies and best practices to enhance your teaching.

Workshops will be supported by a dedicated Canvas shell, allowing you to explore tools and techniques hands-on. Participants who complete the pre-survey, the session, and the post-survey will receive a certificate of participation. These are not recorded, since they are interactive.

Whether you're new to Canvas or looking to refine your skills, these sessions are a great opportunity to learn, connect, and grow.
