Canvas - Training Resources [UW-Madison]

Scheduled Training

Throughout the academic year, Learn@UW-Madison offers several live Canvas training sessions. Most of those sessions occur in the two weeks immediately prior to the start of the fall and spring semesters. When dates and times are set, those training events can be found on our DoIT Academic Technology Events calendar.

At the time of this writing (Spring 2023), the DoIT AT website is being redesigned, and our Events calendar is out-of-order.

To access recordings of our most popular training sessions, see the section “Asynchronous Training”, below.)

Check back in June for details on our August training sessions.

On-Demand Training

As time allows, Learn@UW-Madison is also willing to work with departments and colleges to offer dedicated and customized training. Contact learnuwsupport@wisc.edu for details.

Learn@UW-Madison Training Videos

Recordings of our most common Canvas training events can be found on the Learn@UW-Madison Training channel, in Kaltura MediaSpace. This channel provides a Canvas Training playlist with at least six separate training events. (Other non-Canvas-related training will be found at that channel.)
