Canvas Course Design Fundamentals

Join us for a session exploring the fundamentals of course design, particular to designing your course in Canvas. We'll discuss a few course template examples and consider evidence-based and student-centered course design principles in context of these examples. You'll be encouraged to share your own course design ideas and will leave with resources that can help with writing learning outcomes, aligning your course, and creating a structure for course content that meets student needs while providing flexibility.

Meet your facilitator!
