Canvas Training Services Portal offers instructor training webinars. There are over 30 different topics that you can attend online. Sessions are interactive, allow some hands-on experience, and are taught by Canvas trainers. These sessions will allow you to go into greater depth on a variety of topics and trainers will answer a number of questions in the sessions. Learn how to get started with the Canvas Training Services Portal.
Canvas recommends you log into the Adobe Connect webinar in one browser window and your Canvas Sandbox course in a second browser window. This will allow you to switch between the Canvas training webinar and the interactive activities.

Communicate with your Students
Students will look to you for guidance. One of the best ways you can support your students during this transition is by communicating with them. You can send important information through Canvas Announcements to the entire class at once. For example:
- There are resources available for students who do not have access to the Internet. You can provide students with the TWU Student Life resource page, which has a section specifically helping students find information from Internet providers.
- You can provide students information about Test and Quiz Taking Strategies in Canvas to help them prepare to take online tests.
Your hard work and dedication helps Texas Woman’s University fulfill its mission to inspire excellence and a pioneering spirit, and the Office of Teaching and Learning with Technology is proud and grateful to support you!
