Canvas has taken over the Weigle Information Commons for the month of August. We have workshops and office hours scheduled every single business day in August, and online workshops are in the works. Stop by and see us!
Canvas workshops are designed for faculty, instructors, administrative staff, and teaching assistants. All sessions will be held in the Weigle Information Commons Seminar Room (Room 124, Van Pelt Library). Laptops will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own.
What’s the Big Deal About Canvas? A fast-paced introduction to the Canvas learning management system designed to give instructors who prefer to learn on their own an overview of the tools and capabilities of the system. This is not a hands on session. Brown bag lunches welcome.
