Reminder: This is a virtual workshop

We are following UO guidelines for safety at the workshops. Our staff will be masked and we ask everyone who attends to follow the UO guidelines and wear a mask. These are hands on workshops, and we will project Canvas and other tools on the big screen in the room. When we answer individual questions, we will practice social distancing and provide the option of having participants show us their questions by displaying their screen on a large monitor for troubleshooting. This will allow us to support you, but not do so by looking over your shoulder.

In order to provide the most effective workshop for in-person participants, we will not be streaming the workshops virtually. If you would like virtual training, please schedule an appointment with an Instructional Designer.

Drop-in Office Hours

In addition to our workshops, UO Online & Canvas Support will be offering Drop-in Office Hours. In-person office hours will be held in LIB 36 – Studio A on the lower level of the Knight Library. Virtual office-hours will be held via Zoom. Stop by in person, or join the Zoom session, to ask questions or get help designing your Canvas course sites for fall. We will have Instructional Designers on hand to assist you with Canvas, Panopto, course design, and more.
