Getting Started with UTA Canvas (60 minutes)
This session will provide a beginner's tour of Canvas. It will introduce you to the Dashboard, Course list, Calendar, Inbox, Help links, and Personal Notification Settings. We will also view a course in UTA Canvas introducing Course Settings, the Rich Content Editor, Announcements, Uploading a Syllabus, and Cross-listing (Merging) courses.
January 22nd @ 2:00 pm
Canvas Course Modules (60 minutes)
Modules allow instructors to organize content to help control the flow of the course. Pages store content and educational resources that can include text, video, and links to files. Help your students keep track of what they've done and haven't done by adding requirements (submit, view, mark as done, contribute to the page, score at least) to each content item in your course Modules. This allows the students to see quickly and easily what they have already done (for both content and assignments) and which items they still need to complete.
January 23rd @ 2:00 pm
Canvas Assignments (60 minutes)
Create Assignments in Canvas. In this session, you will learn to create Assignments in Canvas, grade online submissions with SpeedGrader, and create columns in the Gradebook for offline assignments. We will also cover using Assignment Groups to organize your Assignments and calculate a final grade in Canvas.
January 29th @ 2:00 pm
Ally Accessibility Tool in Canvas (60 minutes)
Ally is a tool in canvas that provides guidance and tips to make your content accessible by providing feedback on the accessibility of your content and step by step instructions to improve content accessibility. Ally also provides your students with alternative versions of your files that allow students to choose the type of file that best suits their needs.
