Canvas Refresher Days for Early Adopters!
Canvas Refresher Days will be available in late-August for any faculty that will be teaching a course through Canvas for the Fall 2018 semester.

Refresher Days are designed as drop-ins to accommodate your busy schedules! We will have drop-in hours in Wyllie D103 on the follow days:

August 28th - 12:00pm-3:00pm
August 29th - 9:00am-12:00pm
August 30th - 10:00am-2:00pm

Feel free to come down and chat with the Innovations team as your schedule allows. There may even be coffee!
More Canvas Trainings Available Fall 2018
For those that were interested in adopting Canvas early but were unable to attend a Summer 2018 session to teach over Fall 2018, more trainings will be available this fall for Canvas implementation over Spring 2019!

To sign up for one of our Fall 2018 trainings, please complete this survey.

Please keep in mind that the entire UW System will be switching to Canvas by Fall 2019, so the more instructors we can roll over before that hard deadline, the better.
Fill out your D2L Course Request Forms!
If you're sticking with D2L for the Fall 2018 semester, please make sure you fill out a D2L Course Request Form so we know which courses need to be added to D2L!

Students will be notified in mid-August which courses they will be taking through Canvas and which courses they will be taking through D2L.

If you are teaching an online course using D2L, students will gain access to the course as of August 29th.
Canvas Resources for Students
The Innovations in Learning team is creating a number of Canvas resources that will be available for all students, not just those taking a course through Canvas.

A new KnowledgeBase document has been created that includes Canvas support information rather than D2L support information. Feel free to include this resource in your Canvas course(s).

Additionally, an interactive self-paced tutorial about Canvas will be sent to all students enrolled in a Canvas course in mid-August to give them time to learn the new system.

Finally, all students, including those not taking any Canvas courses this semester, will be enrolled in a Canvas Training Course on the Canvas
We understand that the 2018-2019 academic year may have its challenges as we manage the use of two learning management systems. The Innovations in Learning team is here to answer any questions you may have and provide support throughout the process. We thank you for your cooperation and patience as the UW System migrates to Canvas.
Be. Real. Amazing.
