Custom Training

Custom Training

Custom Training puts your faculty in the virtual hands of an experienced Canvas Trainer. Custom Training is live, Educator to Educator, where your faculty get a chance to implement new skills in their Canvas courses and ask follow up questions. Sessions are delivered in a Zoom room and are recorded, allowing educators to return to the instruction and review what they've learned.

Note: Sessions are limited to 50 participants in order to facilitate instructional best practices and provide the best learning environment for every participant.

Step 1: Plan your Remote Training Schedule
Step 2: Identify available training based on your Implementation Package
