Zoom within Canvas

Zoom and Canvas are compatible tools that can help you collaborate with your students in-class sessions, office hours, meetings, and group projects. There are several ways to integrate Zoom into your Canvas course to make facilitating meetings seamless. In this workshop, we will review these integrations so that you can replicate them in your own course.

Migration Workshop (Cancelled)

Monday, October 19, 2020 | 5:30 pm – 6:45 pm

Blackboard and Canvas are very different systems. The good news is that you can import your course from Blackboard straight into Canvas and have a foundation to begin editing your course. Although some of the tools you’re used to in Blackboard don’t exist in Canvas at this time, there are feasible alternatives to obtain the same objective. This Migration workshop will go over the process and best practices for bringing your course into Canvas.
