As HSU moves closer to the complete migration from Moodle to the Canvas learning management system in Summer 2017, faculty are encouraged to take advantage of one or more of the numerous opportunities to learn how to use Canvas. One of the biggest benefits of Canvas training is peace of mind. HSU Faculty who participated in Fall 2016 Canvas workshops commented that diving into the new LMS relieved their anxiety associated with converting their courses to Canvas.

Here is what some of your colleagues are saying about the Canvas LMS:

“I can setup a class within Canvas in half the time the process required within Moodle.”  - Josh Zender, Department of Business

“The SpeedGrader is a fantastic way to grade student submissions.  Instead of having to download all the papers and clutter up my computer, I can grade right in the browser, including commenting right on the submission and using rubrics.”  - Amy Rock, Department of Environmental Science and Management & Department of Geography
