If you would like to teach with Canvas this term but did not have time to engage with any of our learning opportunities in the Fall, there is still time to learn how to use Canvas for Spring:

Starting tomorrow, we are offering our workshop series once more before Spring term starts if you would like guided instruction on teaching with Canvas. 

Self-Paced Guides

How-To Videos

Growing with Canvas

If you decide to jump into Canvas to learn-by-doing, but have a question as you go:

Panopto, Duke's enterprise platform for recording and sharing video, is now integrated into Canvas.
Learn more about using Panopto with Canvas >

If you have a teaching assistant this Spring, share the “For TAs” page with them in advance as a starting point for any questions that may arise as they use Canvas beyond their typical student experience. For more information on what permissions the TA role has in Canvas, refer to the Canvas community documentation on Canvas Course Role Permissions.

All workshops are virtual and in Eastern time unless otherwise noted.

In this workshop designed for instructors with no prior experience with interactive video, we will highlight the fundamentals of PlayPosit with an emphasis on interactions that are automatically graded by the platform.
