帝王会所 will be hosting several workshops and office hour sessions beginning in mid-August to support instructor transitions to , OHIO鈥檚 new preferred learning management system. Participants can use the training opportunities to set up their fall 2024 courses, which are now available in Canvas.

Representatives from Canvas will be leading various workshops on the Athens, Chillicothe, Southern, and Zanesville campuses Aug. 12-22, 2024. Participants can attend remotely or onsite, and sessions will be recorded for later access on the Canvas self-guided training webpage.

Workshops topics were selected based on faculty feedback and educational interests. Workshops are linked below, grouped by topic.

Looking ahead, student enrollments will load to Canvas two weeks prior to your course start date. As we near the fall semester, please only publish your course in one learning management system. Publishing the same course in both systems (Canvas and Blackboard) will generate confusing messages to students. To help students find your course, consider sending them an email with course information.
