SBCTC has opened registration for the February session of “Intro to the Canvas Learning Management System for Faculty.”
This 3-week online, asynchronous course is designed for instructors who have never used the Canvas learning management system or who are just getting started. By the end of the course, you should have a basic understanding of the main features of Canvas, and be ready to begin using Canvas with your classes – regardless of whether you intend to teach online fully or simply move a portion of your activities and lectures online. Expect this course to take 20 hours over the three weeks, for those new to online teaching.
Dates: February 6-February 27, 2017

Registration is now open for the February Quality Matters online workshops offered by SBCTC.
Improving Your Online Course (IYOC)
Feb. 9-28, 2017
Applying the Quality Matters Rubric (APPQMR)
Feb. 9-28, 2017
Which Workshop is for me?
- Take the APPQMR workshop if you would like to see the QM Rubric applied to someone else’s course; if you are interested in seeing what a course looks like before a QM review, and again after incorporating reviewer comments; or if you are considering becoming a Peer Reviewer or a facilitator.
- Take the IYOC workshop if you have already taken the APPQMR and need a refresher; if you want to practice applying the QM Rubric to your OWN class; or if you are interested in getting your feet wet, but not fully immersed!
If you are unsure which workshop is right for you, please contact our Shoreline QM Coordinator, Amy Rovner. arovner@shoreline.edu or (206) 546-6937
Register here today! (Do not register directly through the QM website because SBCTC will not be able to reimburse you.)
