Course Descriptions
Canvas Foundations is a practical training programme designed to help staff use Canvas confidently and effectively. Foundations A focuses on building and structuring course content, while Foundations B supports you in preparing your course for students, managing communication, and running your course once teaching begins. Together, the sessions emphasise good pedagogic practice, accessibility, and quality checking, helping you create clear, inclusive, and well‑designed Canvas courses.
We run A and B as separate live workshops, or offer you the option to complete the asynchronous Canvas Foundations as a single entity.
Canvas Quizzes is a focused, hands‑on training session for staff responsible for creating, managing, or reviewing online tests and quizzes in Canvas. The course supports you in building and editing quizzes, applying key settings for release, marking, and checking quizzes for quality and reliability before students take them. With practical activities and worked examples, the session helps you gain confidence in using Canvas Quizzes to deliver robust formative and summative assessments.
You can undertake Canvas Quizzes as a live session or as an asynchronous course in your own time.
Marking Quizzes in Canvas is a short, supportive webinar designed to help you feel confident marking quiz‑based exams during the busy assessment period. The session covers how to access quizzes for marking, work with anonymous marking, mark by question or script, and add marks and feedback safely, with practical tips to avoid common issues that can lead to the loss of marks.
Canvas Assignments is a practical training session for staff responsible for setting up and managing submission‑based assessments in Canvas. The course focuses on creating assignments, applying submission and release settings, supporting group work and extensions, and managing marking and feedback using Canvas tools, including the Turnitin Plagiarism Framework. Through hands‑on activities and real examples, the session helps you build confidence in running clear, consistent, and well‑managed assessment workflows in Canvas.
You can undertake Canvas Assignments as a live session or as an asynchronous course in your own time.

Canvas Studio is a practical training session focused on using Canvas’s built‑in video tool to create, manage, and share multimedia learning content. The session introduces key Studio features including uploading and recording video, embedding videos in Canvas courses, applying accessibility best practice, and adding interactive elements such as in‑video quizzes and analytics to support active learning.
Mentimeter is a practical training session designed to help you introduce simple, effective active learning into your teaching using the University‑licensed Mentimeter tool.

Camtasia training is provided as a “beginner” and “intermediate” level. You can choose to undertake a single course or take both together as a package:
Camtasia Getting Started: This beginner‑friendly Camtasia session is designed for staff who are new to video creation or want a clear, confident starting point. The training focuses on recording, editing, and producing short, effective videos using practical, repeatable workflows, helping you create clear instructional videos quickly and with confidence.
Camtasia: Beyond the Basics: This intermediate Camtasia session is aimed at users who already know the basics and want to work faster and create more polished videos. The training highlights newer features, improved editing techniques, audio and captioning options, and reusable assets, supporting more efficient workflows and higher‑quality video content.
Nearpod is a practical training session designed to help staff create interactive teaching presentations for live, hybrid, or asynchronous delivery.
