COLI has several workshops available throughout the summer!

D2L Essentials

If you are a new professor at Canisius, or if you have taught at Canisius for awhile but would like to learn or review essentials of D2L, COLI offers a workshop that’s perfect for this. In this training session professors get the very basics of teaching in D2L, from uploading course files, to properly organizing your course so students can access content easily.

Sessions Dates & Times:

  • Thursday, July 11th, 12:30PM
  • Tuesday, August 6th, 12:30PM

D2L Grades and Feedback

In this training, Canisius faculty can discover ways to save time while providing students valuable feedback on coursework using the D2L Gradebook and providing meaningful feedback. We will also show you how to connect activities to the Gradebook for even faster grading.

Session Dates & Times:

  • Wednesday, July 17th, 12:30PM
  • Thursday, August 8th, 12:30PM

Panopto and D2L

Faculty who use video in their classes may want to consider using Panopto, a video content management system. Whether you are interested in learning the basics or some more advanced features, Panopto can help you easily record, edit, and share video to your students– all from within D2L!

Session Dates & Times:

  • Monday, July 22nd, 12:30PM
  • Tuesday, August 20th, 12:30PM

Hypothes.is in D2L

Hypothes.is is a toolset build right into D2L, that allows students to collaborate as they annotate documents and web-based resources they read together.  This is an excellent alternative to discussion boards or forums, and can be ideal for helping students prepare for classroom discussions.

Session Dates & Times:

  • Wednesday, July 24th, 12:30PM
  • Thursday, August 22nd, 12:30PM
