Canvas, UT Austin’s learning management system, is the supported online platform for managing courses. This workshop will provide an overview of using Canvas; how to upload and organize your content, create gradebook columns, and message your students. We have designed this workshop to give you a hands-on experience preparing your course site. Please bring a laptop and your syllabus.
The course syllabus is used to communicate essential and required information about your course. Broadly speaking, this communication conveys what the course is about, what its focus will be, how it will be taught, and what students must do to succeed in the course. However, the course syllabus sets the tone for your class. Creating a student-centered syllabus can help develop a more engaging and open learning environment. In this session, we will go over information that your syllabus is required to contain as well as suggestions for crafting a syllabus that has the student’s point of view in mind.
Who is in your classroom? Using the educational framework Universal Design for Learning, this workshop will provide you with concrete strategies to proactively design learning environments in which all students have access and opportunities to succeed. Learn processes for accommodating students with disabilities as well as how to anticipate and embrace all the diversity of our UT students by implementing evidenced-based teaching and learning practices.
