DESCRIPTION:Online Teaching and Learning encompasses different modalities w
 ith 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 v
 irtual space in which to build their course. During this session\, we will
  review four basic principles of online course design using Canvas to supp
 ort your in-person and/or remote course to and to enhance your and your st
 udents’ educational experiences.\n\nSo that we may devote our time to th
 inking together about the pedagogical rationale that guides our use of Can
 vas’ features (i.e.\, Modules\, Pages\, Assignments/Assessments)\, we ex
 pect you to have completed either of these ~60 minute long\, pre-workshop 
 activities:\n\nOption 1: Complete the Introduction to Canvas: Foundations 
 course\, orOption 2: Watch the recorded webinar Introduction to Canvas: Ge
 tting Started \n\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able 
 to:\n\nOrganize important communication and expectation information in Can
 vasChoose which course layout is best for the materialArrange the course m
 aterials consistently throughout the course shellUtilize tools to check co
 urse accessibility \n\nThis workshop may be counted toward the Online Teac
 hing concentration of the Achievement in Pedagogy Badge\, offered through 
 the Graduate Student Teaching Initiative. For more information\, contact t
