Canvas Power User Podcast (Toorongian)

EDTECH 513 Class Blog

Canvas Power User Podcast - The target audience for this podcast is instructors and those associated with instruction, or others who use Canvas (the campus learning management system) for non-course based purposes such as training or accreditation. Our campus is presently transitioning to Canvas, with a full cut over planned for May 2012 (this summer semester). These podcast episodes will function as another resource for users to learn more about Canvas, and to stay connected with the latest information. The podcasts will be relatively short, in an effort to maximize the user base of busy faculty, who might otherwise not commit the time to a longer format podcast. Each episode will begin with an introduction, a short segment on the latest news and information on the Canvas transition process, a topical segment, a Canvas quick-tip segment, and closing remarks.

First Episode Description

Introducing Canvas, You’re New LMS- This first issue of the Canvas Power User podcast introduces the listener to the goals of the podcast and also gives them a short synopsis of LMS transition information. Following the news segment, the main segment discusses the piloting phase of the recent LMS search process and the timeline that was followed, leading to the selection of Canvas as the next campus LMS. Key features and tools of Canvas will be highlighted, with each being reviewed more fully in future podcast episodes. The final segment is the "Canvas Quick Tip" which highlights a key feature of the Canvas LMS (notification preferences in this episode).
