iTAC staff have read the feedback from an online survey and heard the comments of faculty and staff regarding Canvas training. As a result, the training has been reworked and will be offered beginning in January.
The face-to-face training has been revamped and includes three different sessions:
- Discovering the Power of Canvas
- Designing Course Content
- Developing Quizzes and Assignments
These sessions are about 90 minutes in length. They will be hands-on and allow faculty and staff to create their own Canvas course; move content from K-State Online; learn the difference between modules and pages; and more. Faculty can sign up for any and all sessions, which don’t have to be completed in any sequence. Attendees need to bring a laptop and be prepared to work through specific tasks.
Walk-in assistance will be provided throughout the year for questions and answers and specific assistance with Canvas functionality. Help will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. The first sessions are scheduled 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 9, and 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16. Both are in Union Staterooms 1 and 2.
To find the dates and times for upcoming training, visit the Canvas Training website.

Thank you to the campus for providing valuable feedback to improve our services.
