The CTL is pleased to partner with the Canvas team in Teaching & Learning Technology and our colleagues in the Office of Academic Technology to help faculty and instructors start the semester strong. We are offering two concurrent hands-on workshops to help faculty and instructors get prepared. In one, we will provide guidance for setting up Canvas sites for spring courses and, in the other, we will offer detailed support for setting up Simple Syllabus, a tool for creating dynamic, interactive syllabi, directly into your Canvas course site. We are happy to offer coffee and refreshments to get you going!
RSVP for the January 8 Workshops
Notes: Please bring your laptops and copies of your Spring 2025 syllabi!, as we will have time to work on our Canvas sites and/or within Simple Syllabus. Each one-hour workshop will be offered twice during this block of time. Please feel free to come to the session(s) that best meet your needs and schedule.
