As a graduate student, you assume many roles: teacher, instructor, as well as student. In this workshop, you will learn about and apply theories of self-directed learning to students and oneself’s achievement, as well as gain strategies about setting expectations and working effectively with students and faculty.

We will discuss how to use existing tools in Canvas to facilitate online/remote teaching. You may already be using Announcements and Discussions, but are you only using text when you could be using video? Zoom is great for real-time engagement, but did you know that Panopto offers your students the ability to search for text on slides, jot down notes, add feedback (discussions), and take self-check quizzes? Tie everything together in Modules and give your students a consistent experience from start to finish.
This webinar will cover the workflow of online assignment creation, student submission, instructor grading and student’s view of feedback. We will present an overview of the gradebook and discuss the advantages of using grading tools such as Rubrics and SpeedGrader.
