Distance Education Training Opportunities

Looking for Past Workshops or Online Resources?

Join the LMC Canvas Shell

This Canvas shell is not intended to be a course; instead, it is an online location that houses the online tutorials, teaching resources, and recordings of past workshops that have been created by our LMC faculty, CVC-OEI instructors, and more.  The calendar at the bottom of the page includes upcoming DE events and trainings.  These resources will continue to be updated throughout the semester, so keep an eye out for new content!

Join the LMC Self-Paced Beginner's Guide to Teaching with Canvas

This is an introduction into using Canvas.  The course will take around five hours to complete on your own, depending on your current level of proficiency with Canvas.  There are module resources for basic course design, gradebook and student feedback, and making Canvas welcoming for students.
