We are pleased to announce that we now have a Student Tutorial Course for students to become familiar with Canvas.
Students can reach this tutorial by going to Passport to Canvas-Student Quick Start Canvas Course or by going to the Help and Academic Resources button within Canvas.
Faculty may also self-enroll for the free self-paced version offered by @ONE at any time.
Course Description: This self-paced course will introduce you to using Canvas in online, hybrid, and face-to-face classes. These simple, hands-on lessons give you the chance to master Canvas in your own practice course to build a home page, content page, discussion, and quiz, while also exploring how to use Canvas communication tools.
If you're new to Canvas, or just want a powerful refresher on the basics, this course is a great starting point, and you get to keep your sandbox to play in, experiment, and build your online material.
Registration: Self-Paced Introduction to Teaching with Canvas
Use this course as a beginning point on learning accessibility for Canvas or as a refresher.
The California Community College Chancellor’s Office created a “virtual professional development resource center”—a “one-stop-shop” for colleges and their employees to access effective practices, training, and other resources. As a California Community College employee, you have full access to the resources on this site. Free access to Lynda.com courses is included in the library of professional development materials.
Lynda.com offers a series of Canvas courses which are organized into chapters and divided into short individual videos. This is particularly helpful in learning a new skill from start to finish or to find a quick answer.
