Each session will cover the same content. Both Zoom sessions will be recorded; registration is required to receive the recording link. QILT will continue to offer Canvas Essentials workshops in the future — these are just the January sessions.
Faculty can request a sandbox course using our Canvas Request Form. A sandbox is a blank Canvas course where you can experiment with features such as creating modules, assignments, quizzes, or discussion boards. It’s also a great space to begin designing a course, which you can later easily copy into your official Canvas course. Additionally, sandboxes can be used to design organization sites.
Please use our Canvas Request Form to submit any Canvas-related questions, comments, or requests to our team.
