What is this course about?
This course will show you how to use the Canvas Learning Management System, or Canvas LMS, thoroughly, and in depth, through step-by-step tutorials.
Why take this course?
Learning management systems such as Canvas were designed with the end user in mind. Canvas is quickly gaining market share, due to it's user friendly and intuitive interface. However, as happens with all these systems, they get more and more complex, because the end users, both faculty and students would like features added to help them teach or be more efficient. As they get more complex, the time to learn it increases as well. Those of you teaching are very busy, and often can't dedicate large chunks of time to learn a new system. This is where this course comes in. Learn how to use Canvas in YOUR time, on Your schedule. The screen cast lectures are broken down into logical chunks, so that you can take small amounts of time blocks at your convenience, and zero in on a specific feature. Then just come back to it later, (even a year later, or the next semester) if you need to re-visit the tutorial. How much information can you remember if you went to a 2 hour class or workshop?
Finally, you this course is a one-stop-shop for all your Canvas needs, no more waiting for tickets to be answered by a help-desk, or wading through the instructor manual. The tutorials are all logically arranged in sections, so you can easily pull up the screen-cast of the particular feature you would like to know more about. Of course I recommend you go through the whole course, so you can see the potential of Canvas to aid and enhance you your teaching, as well as help save you time, and be more efficient.
Course structure
The course format is organized in sections, with each section covering a certain area or feature of Canvas, starting with how to get oriented to the Canvas interface, and progressing into how to post your course materials.
