Just in time for back to school, the popular Canvas Boot Camp returns. The Canvas Boot Camp helps faculty get up and going using the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) with short sessions during this all-day workshop.
Learn how to navigate the LMS, how to design a course, create quizzes, and even learn a few tips and tricks that can make your life easier. Feel free to come-and-go to any sessions that are of interest. Come and meet your Academic Technology Services team member and supercharge your Canvas courses this fall. Also, hands-on support will be available throughout the day in our open lab. Join us on Wednesday, August 21, 2019, in Fondren Library East 109 Classroom for the 2019 Canvas Boot Camp.
