Canvas Training at MTSU
MTSU training for Canvas begins in October. These sessions will be led by Helen Wilson of Instructure (the company that owns Canvas) with support from the Center for Teaching and Mentoring, the Information Technology Division, and MTSU Online. The Canvas training sessions will be via Zoom, and you also have the option to attend in-person at the Center for Teaching and Mentoring (Library 348) for hands-on support from our team. Each session will span 90 minutes, and our support team will be available both on Zoom and in person to answer questions and provide additional support.
