November 2023

Starting Spring 2024, all Duke* and DKU instructors can teach their courses on Canvas. If you previously taught a course on Sakai that you will be teaching again in Spring 2024, you may request course content be migrated from Sakai to Canvas for you.

*Certain schools are transitioning to Canvas on a different timeline than the rest of the university so we recommend speaking with your local school support team about your school’s plan.

We are pleased to share the recordings of all sessions from this year's Summit. We encourage you to explore the topics and share them with your peers, and we invite you to contact us if any topic(s) in particular are of interest to you - we are always seeking new partners to innovate with us!

All events are virtual and in Eastern time unless otherwise noted.

In this interactive session, the Center for Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation will share concrete strategies and tools for cultivating an inclusive teaching and learning community in the classroom with regard to race and racial hierarchies. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a greater understanding of how to develop and utilize teaching practices and tools that enable all students to feel seen, heard, and understood and to think and act differently concerning the production and circulation of knowledge. 

In many discussion-board based courses, students feel isolated and disconnected from their instructors and classmates. In this workshop, educators will learn how to establish a social presence and connect with their students using VoiceThread to improve course satisfaction and student learning. We will cover all of the basic VoiceThread features, demonstrate how everything works in Canvas, showcase a variety of examples from actual courses, and have an open Q&A throughout the training.

This series of workshops will be offered multiple times throughout the semester; see the Canvas Events page for additional dates and times.
