If you’ve been meaning to attend a Canvas training session but haven’t had time, Clemson Online is launching three self-paced Canvas training courses this December:
Getting Started with Canvas (available now) provides an overview of Clemson’s new LMS. This course will show you how to update your user settings, navigate Canvas, edit course settings, create and edit course content (including Modules, Pages, and Assignments), post announcements, upload files, and import content from an existing Blackboard course. To enroll in Getting Started with Canvas, visit https://clemson.instructure.com/enroll/MGP38T.
Visual Design in Canvas (launching December 15) shows you how to enhance your Canvas course through visual design. You will learn how to add text and images to a Canvas page using the Rich Content Editor, use basic HTML elements to add visual interest to content pages, apply Universal Design for Learning principles to create accessible visual elements, and create a course landing page that is both attractive and functional. To enroll in Visual Design in Canvas, visit https://clemson.instructure.com/enroll/AT9WM3.
Canvas Assignments and Grading (launching December 23) shows you how to evaluate student work in Canvas. You will learn how to create assignments, weight assignment groups, customize assignment settings (including those for groups and peer review), design rubrics to evaluate student work, use SpeedGrader to evaluate and respond to student work, and use Canvas’s gradebook to record students’ grades. To enroll in Canvas Assignments and Grading, visit https://clemson.instructure.com/enroll/9XCJ6B.
