Online Teaching and Learning encompasses different modalities with one common element: instruction requires access to the internet. Pitt’s official learning management system (LMS) is called Canvas, and all instructors have access to a Canvas course “shell” each semester; a virtual space in which to build their course. During this session, we will review four basic principles of online course design using Canvas to support your in-person and/or remote course to and to enhance your and your students’ educational experiences.

So that we may devote our time to thinking together about the pedagogical rationale that guides our use of Canvas’ features (i.e., Modules, Pages, Assignments/Assessments), we expect you to have completed either of these ~60 minute long, pre-workshop activities:

 

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Organize important communication and expectation information in Canvas
  • Choose which course layout is best for the material
  • Arrange the course materials consistently throughout the course shell
  • Utilize tools to check course accessibility
