Canvas & Blackboard Virtual Drop-in Sessions
The Online Learning Team in GPS holds regular Canvas & Blackboard Virtual Drop-In sessions for faculty, usually around the start of each term. These are geared for instructors who have specific questions or for those who need assistance getting started with Canvas or Blackboard for the upcoming term.
These are truly drop-in sessions, come and go as you please, no registration required, and we will be able to provide 1:1 assistance for you via break-out rooms if you need specific help.
