ABE Program Strategies for Getting Started with Canvas & LTI Learning Tools
Session 8: 10:15-11:45 AM (Friday March 04, 2022)
Description
This session will start with a brief introduction of the California Distance Learning Cooperative (CDLC) and the benefits to the California adult education field. The panelists will share their experience getting started with Canvas and LTI tools, using examples that are currently working for teachers and students. Examples will highlight different ways to provide learning curriculum in Canvas, such as on-site (face-to-face) classes, for Zoom classes, and for independent study. Examples will highlight the use of LTI learning tools, such as JUICE, CK12, and others, to increase access, motivate learners, and increase opportunities for self-guided review and practice, as needed. As time allows, participants will be invited to join the discussion and contribute “wish list” items for sharing success stories and future resources, such as informal case studies, course templates, or how-to videos.
