Updated Canvas Administrator Cohort & Apply IT
It is a heavy lift to figure out how the Canvas Admin system works especially if, like most Adult Education administrators, you “wear many hats” within your district/agency. Within the past year, OTAN streamlined many of these processes with asynchronous Admin courses, a Canvas Video Library and access to Tier 1 support. These teaching and learning tools help many, but Canvas Administrators continue to request sessions with a trainer and an added application session.
With cohort feedback, OTAN renovated the Admin Cohort for January 2024. This new year features an essential slate of topics and learning outcomes designed to “get up and running as an Admin.” Also added are the Apply IT! Sessions which are practical application opportunities correlating with the morning’s learning.
