Teaching and Learning Trainings

Custom tutorials and training sessions

Our self-paced and scheduled live trainings are listed below, but since HMS's programs and academic technology needs are so diverse, a customized tutorial or training is often the best solution.

Examples of tutorials/trainings we have offered:

  • Review Canvas basics and how to set up your course
  • Panopto video creation 101
  • Solve Canvas teaching or learning challenges using design approaches
  • Host a hands-on working session about pedagogical approaches for using Canvas tools
  • Best practices for utilizing a Canvas template
  • Practice using academic technologies and learn how to best utilize them for learning activities
