As a faculty member, you know how crucial it is to provide an engaging and accessible learning experience for your students. But with the complexities of online teaching, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. We are here to help! Book a consultation with us to discuss Canvas online pedagogy, optimize your Canvas course, or build new course components. We can also explore practical ways to improve your course’s accessibility and discuss the Quality Matters (QM) process, along with other services we offer. Whether you are new to Canvas or looking to refine your course, these sessions provide valuable insights and personalized support.

We are making it even easier to connect with us by offering the option to book a session with us directly through the Faculty Resource Center’s Zoom scheduling. If you have not yet accessed the FRC, you can self-enroll at any time.
