Just in Time for Summer: May Canvas Training Options

For UNC instructors who are making the transition from Sakai to Canvas this summer, we are offering two different Canvas training opportunities before the end of this semester. You are welcome to attend either or both!

Canvas Course Design Snapshot – NOTE: Cancelled due to low enrollment

If you were interested in attending this session or have pedagogical questions, please feel free to request a consultation with the CFE.

The CFE is hosting a special 2-hour Canvas Course Design Snapshot session for instructors interested in refining and aligning their course goals around Canvas tools and organizational structure. The 2-hour interactive session outlines the process of making evidence-based instructional decisions and helps you learn about the features of Canvas that can be used to help you achieve your course goals. ITS staff members will also be on hand to answer any technical questions. They will also be available between 12 and 1pm to answer any specific questions that may arise during the morning session.

Technical Canvas Training

After the Canvas Course Design Snapshot, the Educational Technologies team will be hosting a 1-hour Technical Canvas Training. This training will allow faculty to be face-to-face with technologists while you locate migrated content and import it into a Canvas course for this summer/fall as well as provide a general overview of key features/tools to ready you for the first day of class.

Select the appropriate registration link below. You may (and are encouraged) to attend both sessions!

Both sessions will be held on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, in Carroll Hall 111.

Canvas Course Design Snapshot hosted by the CFE from 10 am to 12 pm – NOTE: Cancelled due to low enrollment. If you were interested in this session or have pedagogical questions, please feel free to request a consultation with the CFE .
ITS Educational Technologies team available for specific questions between 12 pm and 1 pm

We understand that the end of semester is a challenging time.

If none of these options fit your schedule, feel free to reach out directly for assistance. We are here to help!
