Canvas Jumpstart Series

December 5, 2022

Jumpstart your Spring 2023 with three days of Canvas building demonstrations and troubleshooting.

Update on 01/03/2022

The original blog posts about the Canvas Jumpstart Series indicated that the event would be hybrid. However, the workshops will be virtual only due to water damage repairs in Cooper Library.

Canvas Jumpstart Series

This series of workshops are for new and returning instructors who will be using Canvas or any Clemson-supported learning technology to teach. So with your computer at the ready, join us either in person or virtually via Zoom to get your Canvas course site ready for the new semester. More details are below.

Who Should Attend

Any new or returning instructors. This includes full-time instructors, part-time instructors, and graduate assistant instructors.

Attending the Workshops

Attend in person in Cooper 416 (The Brown Room) or virtually through Zoom.

Workshop Wednesday: Next Semester Prep

As we cross the finish line on another Fall semester, do yourself a small favor before taking your well-deserved winter break: join us to discuss best practices in preparing for next semester. In this session, we will cover exporting and importing Canvas course content, identifying one actionable change to make in your course, reviewing your course learning objectives, and ensuring they align with the rest of the course. Join us in person at Cooper 309 or virtually through Zoom. A Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants 48 hours prior to the day of the event. Facilitated by James Butler, Digital Learning Strategist.
