Accessibility & Teaching Online with Canvas
During the rapid transition to online teaching in Spring 2020, TLOS at Virginia Tech offered a variety of tool-based and pedagogy-based workshops to instructors at Virginia Tech. The sessions including in this section will provide some practical information that you can apply in your own classroom and give you a sense of how some of these concerns have been addressed at VT. The first workshop introduces concerns about accessibility that will be touched on again in the next section. Accommodations for students can look different when things move online and might require some additional planning to be done well. Furthermore, the first 20-30 minutes of the workshop about teaching online are the most broadly applicable, and the second half dives more into using Canvas. Following that video, there is a page which includes several resources to help you get more comfortable using Canvas.
After you make your way through these workshops, you will engage in come reflection using a discussion board as you've done before.
