OutlookThe NERCOMP Canvas User Group will provide a forum for community members to share, learn and inquire about Canvas tools, services and support. Attendees will have an opportunity to learn about different approaches to using Canvas in online, hybrid and traditional teaching and learning models. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with other Canvas school representatives. Non-Canvas schools may wish to register participants to learn about Canvas or to network with others interested in doing more with learning management systems. A representative from Instructure will present news and information from the engineering and development team behind this groundbreaking LMS.
Learning Outcomes
Following this SIG, participants will be able to:
● identify the features of Canvas that make it a unique LMS
● evaluate the needs of their user community to develop an LMS transition plan for their campus that takes the needs of faculty and students into account
● provide support resources for faculty in using various Canvas tools, such as multimedia and grading tools
● network with individuals with similar interests and learn more about what other institutions are doing or are planning to do with Canvas
● understand Instructure’s plan for continued development of the Canvas LMS
Please Note: There will be an interactive portion to the presentation and we request that attendees bring a laptop.
