Teaching Effectively in Canvas

With the transition to Canvas as the sole, centrally supported LMS complete, this program has ended.

Teaching Effectively in Canvas was a Faculty Engagement program designed to highlight the experiences of UW-Madison instructors in the Canvas learning environment and the solutions they found to challenges faced. Topics included effective management of courses, helping students succeed and engaging students —  all within Canvas. In these responsive sessions, participants 

  • Put forth their own questions and needs they’d wanted to see addressed in the session
  • Gained practical ways that other instructors used Canvas
  • Connected teaching practices to evidence-based learning research
  • Learned how to access and apply resources that guided them beyond the session
