November Workshop Line-Up Is Here!
We’re excited to share our November workshop schedule, designed to help you make the most of your teaching tools before the end of the semester. This month, we’re rotating three focused sessions:
- Canvas Grading Tools (Intermediate) – A 30-minute demo of our favorite strategies and features for time-saving tips and smart grading workflows, followed by a brief Q&A.
- Canvas Communication Tools (Intermediate) – A 30-minute demo of our favorite strategies and features for keeping students informed and engaged, followed by a brief Q&A.
-
Online Template Session – The CFC continues to offer training to help you integrate WCU’s online template into your courses.
New this month: All sessions will be offered in a hybrid format — join us in person at Hunter Library 156 or participate virtually via Zoom, whichever fits your schedule best.
If none of the workshop times work for you, we highly recommend our new 4-week asynchronous UDL course, which guides you through applying Universal Design for Learning principles to your own course.
