CanInnovate – Free, Online Conference
Showcase creative practices in online teaching and course design in Canvas
As many of you may be aware, Canvas has continued to increase its market share as the learning management system (LMS) of choice for many California-based institutions. One body that has embraced Canvas in a significant way has been the California Community College system, where all institutions within the system have the opportunity to adopt Canvas as their LMS. As such, the California Community College system has also become more of the main providers of faculty and staff development related to Canvas in the state.
Next Friday (25 October 2019), the California Community College system is hosting a day long, free, online Canvas conference.

The conference will feature the following sessions.
