2. Canvas "How-To" Webinar Series
This series of brief, CDI facilitated webinars was developed for those new to Canvas and those who just need a refresher.
If you prefer learning on your own, work through our website -- CBUdigital.org. We've got links to helpful on-demand webinars, Canvas How-To guides, a digital library of curated articles, plus guides and examples to add more digital to your course.
If you're new to CBU, we've developed this new onboarding site in Canvas to train and familiarize yourself with CBU's digital campus! Find guides and trainings for Canvas, Starfish, WebEx, Microsoft 365, Follett and more! This is also a great roadmap for veteran CBU professors. Click here to check it out (you'll need to sign-in to Canvas to enter.)
5. Facilitated CDI Training
Each semester, you can register for CDI training facilitated by our team. The Center for Digital Instruction offers two classes that develop your skills as an online educator and course designer. Both provide stipends and a path to earning more money for developing additional online courses.
Online Faculty Training (OFT): Learn the basics of teaching online and how to build a module. Sign up for our next class.
Online Course Design (OCD): Once you've successfully completed OFT, the next level is a semester-long dive with the entire CDI team. You'll leave this course with a beautifully designed online course and the skills and credentials to develop more for CBU! Sign up for our next OCD course.
