Live trainings
The Learn@UW suite includes a dozen tools, from widely used options like Canvas, that may require training before use.
To help instructors make the most of the tools, the team provides live training and demos throughout the year. Those training sessions, as well as relevant training from vendors, are listed on today.wisc.edu.
Recorded trainings
Recordings of previous trainings are available on-demand in the Learn@UW–Madison Kaltura channel. Those include introductory trainings like Getting Started with Canvas as well as strategy recommendations like Considerations for Large-Enrollment Classes.
Student tech modules
Learn@UW–Madison can help students understand how to use supported learning technologies in Canvas with the Student Tech Modules. An instructor can choose which ones to download from Canvas Commons and add to their course as a starting point for communicating with their students. There are Tech Modules available for Kaltura, Honorlock and more.
