Welcome to the Canvas Faculty Training Course

Our goal in this course is to provide you with a beginning foundation so that you can start building your classes in the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS). There are three modules for this course, which may be accessed by clicking on the corresponding images below. The course is designed so that you can either work through the modules in a sequential order or in an order of your own choosing.

For additional resources, click on the corresponding image below to be taken to Canvas' website where you will find a host of additional information and videos that can help to support you in your course development endeavors. In addition, we have built a Canvas Course Development Site that contains a series of templates, tutorials, checklists, and rubrics to help support and guide you as you design and build your courses in Canvas. Please click on the "Course Development Resources" tile below to access this site. Furthermmore, there is a Student Orientation Site that is very similar to this Faculty Training site but is intended for your students. Be sure to take a look at this site so that you know what it covers and then encourage your students to use it. Finally, we have constructed a Teaching & Learning Center (TLC) Site to support you in improving the quality of teaching and learning in your courses.
