Teaching with Canvas Program
Teaching With Canvas (TWC) is a cohort-based faculty development program that supports the sustainable design of Canvas courses and fosters instructional innovation. Through a blend of virtual, in-person, and self-paced activities, TWC emphasizes inclusive, student-centered teaching practices. Participants can tailor their experience by focusing on key areas such as course design, student engagement, and data-informed teaching strategies.
Universal Design for Learning in Practice
Universal Design for Learning in Practice is a four-week faculty training program focuses on implementing Universal Design for Learning (UDL)—a pedagogical framework that caters to students of varying abilities, backgrounds, and identities—into Canvas courses and teaching practice. The program's aim is to simplify the design process and improve student outcomes, especially in terms of accessibility. The program includes face-to-face sessions and online meetings via Zoom, and features in-depth discussions, hands-on applications, and practical exercises on UDL principles, course organization strategies, assessment design, and syllabus workshops.
