Preparing Your Online Course: A Canvas Summer Road Trip Series Introduction

Are you teaching an online or blended course in the fall? Are you looking for guidance on how to design a new course or spruce up an existing one? Join us on our Canvas Summer Road Trip! We will use the process of backward design as our map. Backward design is a learner-focused design approach that starts with identifying desired results, followed by determining acceptable evidence, and concluding with planning learning experiences and instruction. We will focus on Canvas tools and techniques that support quality course design. Each session runs 55 minutes and includes presentation, demonstration, practice, and discussion. We look forward to having you join us for all or part of our journey!
