Canvas support for staff
Well done everyone for the great job of getting our VE and HE courses up in Canvas. Please see the information below from Project Rewire about ongoing support. If you subscribe to The Wire you will have already received this information.
Week one of Higher Education Semester 1 is here, and so is Canvas. LMS Champions will be available to provide face-to-face support for teachers at all Melbourne campuses. Semester 1 marks an incredible milestone for RMIT as we make the move to Canvas. Thank you for your efforts in making this change happen, and creating new learning possibilities for our students.
