Session Descriptions

Quercus Intro - Beginner

This session is geared toward instructors who are new to U of T or new to using Quercus/Canvas. Participants will watch a general overview of Quercus and how to navigate through their courses and build content. There will be an opportunity for participants to ask questions at the end of the session.

Quercus Review

This session is geared toward instructors who have some familiarity with Quercus/Canvas but are looking for a review of the available tools and any changes from previous terms. Participants will watch a short presentation followed by a Q&A session.

Course Design - Make an Impact

Our team is pleased to introduce our Instructional Designers who will guide you through some easy tips for making a visual impact with your course. This session will conclude with a chance for you to ask some questions of the experts.

How to Have a Great First Day

Starting your course fully or mostly online is exciting but not without its logistical challenges. In this session, our team will review how to set yourself and your students up for success in preparation for the first day. We will also review some best practices for teaching online and direct you to resources to support you throughout the semester.

Quercus Q&A - Drop-in Session

This session is for those who have a few outstanding questions and would like an Ed Tech expert to provide some guidance and resources for using Quercus or other educational technology tools in preparation for the Fall term.
