Welcome back UTS staff! Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes? It’s 2020 and let’s start it off with a bang! So what do we have planned for you?
In the lead up to the Autumn 2020 teaching session, we’ve put together a program of workshops to help you with the process of setting up assessment tasks, marking and providing feedback in Canvas, UTSOnline (Blackboard), REVIEW and Turnitin. We also have workshops to help you create content, manage groups and student results in Canvas. Check out the workshop schedule below.
Not teaching in Canvas this session or you’re curious about Canvas? Want to know a bit more about it? Come along to one of these sessions to find out the main differences between Canvas and Blackboard.
