Training Course Sites

ELS has two Canvas training courses, one specifically targeted towards faculty, staff, and TAs, and another for SPH students.

Guides

You can use Canvas as your course home, including using it to share course files, collecting and grading assignments, building quizzes, and holding asynchronous discussions.

Use Kaltura to record short video lectures or messages to your class for students to watch on their own time, or to upload a recorded Zoom session. You can also use KalturaCapture to record your screen if you need to demonstrate something.
