We Want to Hear from You & Your Students
We want to hear from you! Tomorrow morning you will receive an invitation to participate in a Qualtrics survey regarding your experiences with Canvas thus far. The information gained will help us improve the experience for fellow instructors and students at Iowa State University.
 
We want to hear from your students! Please send the survey link below to your students in your Canvas courses. Provide your feedback via the  Canvas Early Adopters (Student Survey)

Both surveys will be available until October 12 at 10:00 p.m.
