Comparing ReggieNet and Canvas tools

Canvas includes a host of advanced features to engage students in their learning. Many are similar, but not entirely identical, to those found in ReggieNet. This guide compares features and may help you decide what workshops fit your teaching goals.

Self-paced learning

In addition to synchronous workshops, all faculty and staff may sign up for the Canvas Fundamentals for Faculty asynchronous course. This self-paced series of lessons covers all of the basics in using Canvas for teaching. The course allows you to jump between topics in your own order and at your own pace. Sign up now.
