ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

For those of you who have taught with technology before, you understand that developing the course in the learning management system (LMS) is not even half of the process. The rest is all about making it work for students and providing them with feedback as they engage with the learning components and accomplish the outcomes that you've set forth for them. That's where this workshop comes in. At this point, you have completed an introduction to the Canvas learning management system (LMS), and have built the better part of a fully online course with content pages, assignments, discussions, URL links, and a quiz. This workshop continues that path, taking you to the next level and providing answers for the following questions:

• How do students navigate through items in a course that they are not yet familiar with?
• What do instructions and assignments and other course items look like in a Canvas course?
• How do we grade assignments and provide formative feedback to our students and use rubrics and the gradebook?

While these are some of the specific activities we'll cover in this workshop, we will also provide you with "the student experience" so you are better equipped to design a well-thought-out learning environment, and provide the technical support that your students will need and expect from you.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this workshop, participants will complete the following for a fully online course:

• Design a minimum of three modules for a fully online accessible course to meet the essential Quality Matters standards.
• Write measurable module– or unit– level learning objectives that align with measurable course-level learning objectives.
