PowerPoints and Videos are important tools instructors use to create instructional materials for online classes. At USM, we have several tools that help instructor create these materials and share them with students through Canvas. These tools also have the ability to make the materials accessible for students, regardless of device or accommodation. This workshop is designed to provide a demonstration of each tool, how instructors can use them to create instructional materials, and how to share those materials to a Canvas course.
This workshop is lead by Mark Ferguson. If you need more information, please contact Mark Ferguson at mark.ferguson@usm.edu, or call 601.266.6581.
