Canvas as a Pedagogical Platform
Facilitators
Holly Johnson, Center for Teaching & Learning Excellence
Nate Sanders, Teaching & Learning Technologies
The architecture of Canvas opens opportunities to teachers and students to interact with the platform in the same ways they interact with the rest of the Internet: creatively, socially, dynamically. Canvas is a pedagogical tool that has an eye toward open adaptation — and toward learning out in the world, rather than only behind computer screens or inside brick-and-mortar classrooms. Canvas is not the course: it’s the launching pad for the course.
Discussion included how Canvas can support your teaching, how Modules, Assignments, and Pages can be used to organize your course – which may enhance the student experience in your class, and how using Announcements and Discussion tools can improve your communication with (and among) students.
