Summer classes are wrapping up which means that the Fall 2024 semester is just around the corner! We know many of you are still becoming familiar with Canvas, whether you are new to UNC, are transitioning from Sakai, or have been teaching in Canvas for a couple of semesters now. There are many different features to learn about in Canvas. You may want to learn about providing accommodations for students or setting up student-paced learning pathways. Perhaps you are a Teaching Assistant teaching in Canvas for the first time.
We have several training opportunities and drop-in help sessions coming up! They will be held the week leading up to the start of the fall term and during the first week of classes to assist you with setting up your fall courses! Please review the following list of upcoming training in August. We hope you’ll join us!
